Songs...

Since things have gone downhill again, I want to post some songs. I have been reading a friend's blog that went through a divorce in 2009. She posted some songs right away. While yes, it has been two months and maybe I shouldn't be back where I was emotionally, but this really is a tough road. My heart aches. I will always be HER ex-husband. SHE will always be my ex-wife. We're not just a couple of kids that dated and then it didn't work so we called it quits so she could bang Jimmy after band practice. No. We are two people that loved each other and decided to spend our lives together... until she decided she didn't want to anymore. I like the song idea. These are my two. I'll just let the lyrics do the talking.

Don't Forget by Demi Lovato (Yes. I know.)

Did you forget
That I was even alive
Did you forget
Everything we ever had
Did you forget
Did you forget
About me

Did you regret
Ever standing by my side
Did you forget
What we were feeling inside
Now I'm left to forget
About us

But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it

So now I guess
This is where we have to stand
Did you regret
Ever holding my hand
Never again
Please don't forget
Don't forget

We had it all
We were just about to fall
Even more in love
Than we were before
I won't forget
I won't forget
About us

But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it

Somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
At all

And at last
All the pictures have been burned
And all the past
Is just a lesson that we've learned
I won't forget
Please don't forget us

But somewhere we went wrong
Our love is like a song
But you won't sing along
You've forgotten
About us

Against All Odds by Phil Collins (The Gavin Degraw cover kills me.)

How can I just let you walk away
Let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath
With you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that's what I've got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
But to wait for you, well that's all I can do
And that's what I've got to face

Take a good look at me now
'Cause I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take

Just take a look at me now

And a bonus:

I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt

turn down the lights
turn down the bed
turn down these voices
inside my head
lay down with me
tell me no lies
just hold me close
don't patronize
don't patronize me

chorus:
i can't make you love me if you don't
you can't make your heart feel
somethin' it wont
here in the dark,in these final hours
i will lay down my heart
and i'll feel the power if you wont
no you wont
cuz i can't make you love me
if you don't

i'll close my eyes
then i wont see
the love you don't feel
when you're holdin' me
morning will come
and i'll do what's right
just give me till then
to give up this fight
and i will give up this fight

i can't make you love me if you don't
you can't make your heart feel
somethin' it wont
here in the dark,in these final hours
i will lay down my heart
and i'll feel the power if you wont
no you wont
cuz i can't make you love me
if you don't
