"They" say that during the Great Depression 3 things became much more popular...booze, cigarettes and sex. They were all "feel good" things that most people could find some way of enjoying.
I see that coming back these days. With the exception of cigarettes as being affordable. Good grief, I was behind someone last week in the store and a tiny little pack of store-brand type were $11.
Anway, in that spirit of things ~

still working the process...
It takes time to really let go.
It takes reminding yourself when you feel your mind and heart holding on...
and each time it takes the symbolic opening of your arms and hands, heart and mind, and releasing all claim and ownership...
each time, there is a ripping ~
this can happen several times a day during the early stages, and it can be tough.
When my marriage was ending, the pain of it literally took me to the floor each time. I simply couldn't stand under the onslaught of agony...my legs buckled and I began to shake. I was surprised at the force of the physical pain and dismayed...so much harder to hide that outward attack from the world.
This isn't like that. If the divorce set the bench-mark, then I think I'm prepared to handle most anything else that can come my way. I know that may seem like tempting the Gods, but I don't. I see it as a recognition of survival and an acceptance of extreme loss.
There is a huge difference, I believe, in having something ripped from you, and willingly releasing it. Some would say that the releasing is the easiest to take, because it is your choice. I disagree. I have been through both, and I say that choosing to let your dreams die, to willingly allow your heart to disintegrate, is much more painful and difficult. In the former example, you can use your anger at being left as a crutch for awhile. In the latter, you have nothing like that to lean against.
And, to be honest, I think that I most likely feel things too deeply. I wish I could change that. I've tried. I can't. So...I let go.

quotes
Just a selection of some quotes revolving around the theme for the evening. No particular order, no comments going to be made. They don't all apply completely, just bits and such, but they want to be shared and it's my job to help them out with that. Lol. :)
"Letting go doesn’t mean giving up, but rather accepting that there are things that cannot be.”
“It's weird...you know the end of something great is coming, but you want to hold on, just for one more second...just so it can hurt a little more"
"To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go"
"A sad thing in life is that sometimes you meet someone who means a lot to you only to find out in the end that it was never bound to be and you just have to let go.”
"Yes I love him. I love him more than anything else in this world and there is nothing that I would like better than to hold on to him forever. But I know it's not for the best. So no matter how much my heart is going to break, I've got to let him go so he can know just how much I love him. Maybe if I'm lucky, he'll come back, but if not, I can make it through this.”
“You don't need strength to let go of something. What you really need is understanding"

it's a melancholy night, baby ~
I don't like emotional drama.
Whether it's from outside sources or from right inside my own head and heart.
~sigh~
My head and my mouth can spout all of the logic and rational thought that Mr Spock could possibly desire to hear out of a human, and I truly know it and believe it...but ~
That blasted creature.
Oh, it fights back all the blooming time.
I don't let it out of the crate...ever. It just doesn't have any sense, stupid little thing.
Someday, there's going to be someone who can take it. All the wagging and waving and "let's go for a walk" and chewing on shoes and then plopping down to snuggle all of a sudden. With the head of a top-secret, high-level analyst.
Right.
Makes me feel overwhelmed just writing that.
And it hurts.
I have always found it impossible to ask anyone to stay when they would rather not.
My heart always wants to holler and say all of the words floating inside of it, but my head takes over and becomes veeerrrry rational and knows that to keep someone with you when they want to be somewhere else is foolish and only prolonging the inevitable.
So, I let go again...not that I ever held on.
I wonder why I don't hold on? I wonder if that's a bad thing? I make sure that people know that I want them, that i need them...Do people really want for someone to go to that drama place? Isn't it putting alot of pressure on someone?
I don't know. I used to think that I did...but I think, now, that I don't.
Letting go
I hate being here.
But I hate being alone much more. So, I just take what I'm given and return it and enjoy what is there while it's there, making friends and working very, very hard to protect that friendship so it will stay. I am very careful to make sure that it is kept safe, because it is a precious thing.
Someday there will be that somebody who will stay when i "don't hold on".
That will be the greatest thing. They will stay because it's where they want to be.
I will be happy.
Until then, I miss you, person that I don't know yet.
I tell the universe that I'm open to you, wherever you are, whoever you are (within reason...I am the straightest straight person alive, trust me on that. It has nothing to do with any stereo-typing or closed mindedness or anything. I just flat-out think that men are the most amazing creatures ever, period. Full stop).
I'm working on my stuff, taking care of business, learning and growing and living. I'm not waiting until you show up to start my life, but there will always be room in it for you if you ever get here.
And I'm keeping stupid in that crate.
Just thought I'd let you know.
Whether it's from outside sources or from right inside my own head and heart.

i remember...what hasn't happened yet, anywhere except in my heart...
Feeling the past moving in
Letting a new day begin
Hold to the time that you know
You don't have to move on to let go
Remember turning on the the night
And moving through the morning light
Remember how it was with you
Remember how you pulled me through
I remember (repeat)
Add to the memory you keep
Remember when you fall asleep
Hold to the love that you know
You don't have to give up to let go
Remember turning on the night
And moving through the morning light
Remember how it was with you
Remember how you pulled me through
Letting a new day begin
Hold to the time that you know
You don't have to move on to let go
Remember turning on the the night
And moving through the morning light
Remember how it was with you
Remember how you pulled me through
I remember (repeat)
Add to the memory you keep
Remember when you fall asleep
Hold to the love that you know
You don't have to give up to let go
Remember turning on the night
And moving through the morning light
Remember how it was with you
Remember how you pulled me through
I remember, i remember
Feeling the past moving in
letting a new day begin
hold to the time that you know
you don't have to move on to let go
Add to the memory you keep
Remember when you fall asleep
Hold to the love that you know
You don't have to give up to let go
I remember
You held my hand...
It's time you see
The love you give
Is killing me
And I wanna live
This isn't right
Search your soul for light
So I turned left and told myself
I could be as bad as someone else
But I found it hard when an angel's on my right
But you held my hand
And took me right back down to hell
I have an angel on my shoulder
But a devil in my head
Why won't you go?
No means no
Your dirty life is like a one man show
Your a night attack
You turn the light to black
So I turned left and told myself
That I could be as bad as someone else
But I found it hard when an angel's on my right
But you held my hand
And took me right back down to hell
I have an angel on my shoulder
But a devil in my head
Talk to me
Walk with me
Come with me
Beautiful lady
Beautiful lady
Will you come and save me?
Come to me, come back here
Walk with me, come back here
But you held my hand
And took me right back down to hell
I have an angel on my shoulder
But a devil in my head
Come back here
The love you give
Is killing me
And I wanna live
This isn't right
Search your soul for light
So I turned left and told myself
I could be as bad as someone else
But I found it hard when an angel's on my right
But you held my hand
And took me right back down to hell
I have an angel on my shoulder
But a devil in my head
Why won't you go?
No means no
Your dirty life is like a one man show
Your a night attack
You turn the light to black
So I turned left and told myself
That I could be as bad as someone else
But I found it hard when an angel's on my right
But you held my hand
And took me right back down to hell
I have an angel on my shoulder
But a devil in my head
Talk to me
Walk with me
Come with me
Beautiful lady
Beautiful lady
Will you come and save me?
Come to me, come back here
Walk with me, come back here
But you held my hand
And took me right back down to hell
I have an angel on my shoulder
But a devil in my head
Come back here

Yeah, it was yours, but... EDIT
Not anymore. You took this song and kept it as your anthem of your intentions towards me and the girls long before you stated anything outwardly. You wouldn't play it around us, choosing instead to play it and then shut it down the second we were within ear shot...a strategic move, planned. I knew, from the sly smile that you'd play across your face. I knew all about the clubbing, the women, the lies, the plans...the dating sites, the text messaging, the emails. I knew about the Alderwood connection, the love cards you bought. I knew it all. I still was willing to let it go, to just let you get it out of your system and then we could move forward. And you know what? Looking back...I don't blame you. Not anymore. You were desperately unhappy. I just wish that you'd have believed me all those years that I tried to let you know that it was okay to go. You didn't have to lie. You didn't have to sneak. You could have had what you needed, the easy way. I didn't ever want for you to take yourself to the place that you did. People deserve to be happy. I wanted that for you.
But this song? Really? I'm the one who loves techno, loves to dance, loves word tripping...and it's been years that I couldn't listen to it without pain. Why all of a sudden? Who knows? I don't care, I'm just glad. Today, this song is mine. It's not yours anymore. I'M the bulletproof one. IF I get my foot caught in a door, it'll be because I let it happen.
You still get Ed Hardy, though. Don't think I'll be able to get my head around that one, ever. Not that I want to. Don't care for it, you're welcome to it.
Hands off La Roux, though.
Just thought I'd let you know how it lies now~
;)

i used to wish
I used to wish that this sentiment would be expressed to me...
Not because I wanted for what is to change, but because it hurts the most to feel sooo forgettable. Especially after so many years together.
Once in my life I hope that, to someone, I might be unforgettable.
So there is the romantic sop in me.
That aside, it's a lovely song, with a great deal of emotion (lisp and all...i find it charming)
Please do enjoy ~
Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home, mmm
May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
And I've been keeping all the letters
That I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
"I'm fine baby, how are you?"
Well I would send them but I know
That it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that
Another airplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmm, I got to go home
Let me go home
I'm just too far
From where you are
I wanna come home
And I feel just like
I'm living someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
That this was not your dream
But you always believed in me
Another winter day
Has come and gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home
And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
I still feel alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby, I'm done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It'll all be all right
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home, mmm
May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
And I've been keeping all the letters
That I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
"I'm fine baby, how are you?"
Well I would send them but I know
That it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that
Another airplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmm, I got to go home
Let me go home
I'm just too far
From where you are
I wanna come home
And I feel just like
I'm living someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
That this was not your dream
But you always believed in me
Another winter day
Has come and gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home
And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
I still feel alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby, I'm done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It'll all be all right
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home

Don't Stop ~
Avoiding talking about what is really on my mind,
hiding behind the music, lol!
Enjoy, lyrics below...
This is the original,
This has no identical,
You can't have my digital,
Future Aboriginal.
Get up off my genitals,
I stay on that pinnacle,
Kill you up my lyricals,
Call me verbal criminal.
Send you to that clinical,
Subscribe use of Chemicals,
Audio and visual, can't see me,
Invisible.
I'm old school like Biblical,
Futuristic next level,
Never on that typical,
Will I stop, I never know...
I ain't gonna stop until I'm done (don't stop it)
I ain't gonna quit until I've won
Now baby don't you stop it, stop it
Now baby don't you stop it, stop it
Now baby don't you stop it, stop it, stop it
You can't stop us now...
I ain't gonna stop until I'm done (don't stop it)
I ain't gonna quit until I've won
Now baby don't you stop it, stop it
Now baby don't you stop it, stop it
Now baby don't you stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it
Even if you wanted to, you can't stop us now...
Don't Stop the Party
Don't, don't, don't, don't,
Don't, don't, don't, don't,

Don't, don't, don't, don't,
Stop, stop, stop,

You could call me crazy man,
Everyday I'm partying,
You could find me at the club,
Popping bottles, minglin',
Ladies dancing to the jam,

You...
Not sure if I've already posted this...doing it again.
(lyrics below)
You don't want me, no
You don't need me
Like I want you, oh
Like I need you
And I want you in my life
And I need you in my life
You can't see me, no
Like I see you
I can't have you, no
Like you have me
You don't need me
Like I want you, oh
Like I need you
And I want you in my life
And I need you in my life
You can't see me, no
Like I see you
I can't have you, no
Like you have me
And I want you in my life
And I need you in my life
You can't feel me, no
Like I feel you
I can't steal you, no
Like you stole me
And I want you in my life
And I need you in my life
RULES FOR MEN...courtesy of Freeman Institute...lol!
Okay...I happen to find this hilarious, because I happen to find it true. I can just hear alot of my female friends protesting, but if they were to get seriously honest, they would agree. I'm sorry, men...I honestly hate drama and games, but I have to admit that this is how my brain wants to work. I do work on it, but it's so fun to just laugh long and loud at the absurdities of both genders portrayed here in this list. :) Enjoy!
Rules For Men Explained -- Finally!
For thousands of years, men have tried to understand the rules when dealing with women. Finally, this merit/demerit guide will help you to understand just how it works. Remember, in the world of romance, one single rule applies: Make the woman happy.
Do something she likes, and you get points. Do something she dislikes and points are subtracted. You don't get any points for doing something she expects. "That's just not fair!", you exclaim. Sorry, that's the way the game is played.
Here is a guide to the points system:
SIMPLE DUTIES
You make the bed .....................................................................................................................+1
You make the bed, but forget to add the decorative pillows.......................................................... 0
You throw the bedspread over rumpled sheets.............................................................................-1
You leave the toilet seat up..........................................................................................................-5
You replace the toilet paper roll when it is empty.......................................................................... 0
When the toilet paper roll is barren, you resort to Kleenex............................................................-1
When the Kleenex runs out you use the next bathroom.................................................................-2
You go out to buy her extra-light panty liners with wings..............................................................+5
in the snow.................................................................................................................................+8
but return with beer.....................................................................................................................-5
and no liners..............................................................................................................................-25
You check out a suspicious noise at night..................................................................................... 0

Rules For Men Explained -- Finally!
For thousands of years, men have tried to understand the rules when dealing with women. Finally, this merit/demerit guide will help you to understand just how it works. Remember, in the world of romance, one single rule applies: Make the woman happy.
Do something she likes, and you get points. Do something she dislikes and points are subtracted. You don't get any points for doing something she expects. "That's just not fair!", you exclaim. Sorry, that's the way the game is played.
Here is a guide to the points system:
SIMPLE DUTIES
You make the bed .....................................................................................................................+1
You make the bed, but forget to add the decorative pillows.......................................................... 0
You throw the bedspread over rumpled sheets.............................................................................-1
You leave the toilet seat up..........................................................................................................-5
You replace the toilet paper roll when it is empty.......................................................................... 0
When the toilet paper roll is barren, you resort to Kleenex............................................................-1
When the Kleenex runs out you use the next bathroom.................................................................-2
You go out to buy her extra-light panty liners with wings..............................................................+5
in the snow.................................................................................................................................+8
but return with beer.....................................................................................................................-5

hahahaha! Too true...how men and women's brains work during a "discussion"... :)
You may disagree (feel free!), but I honestly have to say that I absolutely see the validity in this humorous look at what runs through the 2 gender's brains during a disagreement.

Twilight ~
Disclaimer:
I am NOT a big Twilight fan. I enjoy some things about the books...I appreciate Meyer's take on the mythology of the wolves and the vampires. I like the theme of struggle and redemption, from the Cullen's perspective. They consider themselves damned creatures without souls and work to better mankind. And I appreciate the music to the extreme.
In particular, New Moon has meaning for me. For those not familiar with the story, Edward leaves Bella and she is utterly bereft. She felt so connected to him that she is left without purpose or desire to live. I'm not going into all the reasons for the seperation, just my reasons.
This movie came out right at the time that I knew my marriage was in serious trouble. I had just that week found so many dirty details of what was to come and I was numb with the shock and horror that I felt. When Edward leaves Bella and she falls into an almost catatonic state, I knew exactly where the character was. I was sitting in the same seat, not eating the same food, not sleeping, not thinking, not focusing ~
This is a brief scene that deals with the immediate aftermath of Edward's departure. The one thing missing that should still be in here are the screams that come from Bella each night when she loses the cold and numb control and her emotions overcome her. I know those screams. They speak from a pain so deep that they can't be touched during the day, during the conscious moments. They have been edited out of the scene.
The good part is, Bella slowly struggles back to life. She finds new things to live for, and although she isn't healed, she is moving again. For her, Edward returns to her life. For me, no. And even if it could have by some other way, by me it could not...my journey through took longer and came through so much hard work ~ but I'm stubborn and refuse to quit. Sometimes good, sometimes not, I find that this time it was good.
But it only takes a moment for me to be back in the midst of that time. Sometimes the scars never disappear and you remember with perfect clarity the events that gave them to you. That's not necessarily a bad thing.
Here is Lykke Li, Possibility is the song. Lyrics are below, as always.

There's a Possibility,
There's a Possibility,
All that I had was all I'm gonn' get.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
There's a Possibility,
There's a Possibility,
All I'm gonna get is gone with your stare
All I'm gonna get is gone with your stare
So tell me when you hear my heart stop
You're the only one that knows
Tell me when you hear my silence
There's a possibility I wouldn't know."
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
Know that when you leave,
Know that when you leave,
By blood and by me, you walk like a thief,
By blood and by me, and I fall when you leave.
There's a Possibility,
All that I had was all I'm gonn' get.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
There's a Possibility,
There's a Possibility,
All I'm gonna get is gone with your stare

By blood and by me, and I fall when you leave.
So tell me when you hear my heart stop,
You're the only one that knows.
Tell me when you hear my silence,
There's a possibility I wouldn't know.
So tell me when my sorrow's over,
You're the reason why I'm closed.
Tell me when you hear me falling,
There's a possibility it wouldn't show.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
By blood and by me, and I'll fall when you leave.
By blood and by me, I follow your lead.
You're the only one that knows.
Tell me when you hear my silence,
There's a possibility I wouldn't know.
So tell me when my sorrow's over,
You're the reason why I'm closed.
Tell me when you hear me falling,
There's a possibility it wouldn't show.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
By blood and by me, and I'll fall when you leave.
By blood and by me, I follow your lead.
Your half of the flesh and blood ~
Once upon a time, in a life lived by someone who may have once resembled me, this song was dedicated to a young woman by a man...this man told her many beautiful things, none of which were true. She wouldn't know for many years of his deception, and so she willingly and happily believed that the words of this beautiful song were truly meant by him, for her.
Regardless of all of that above, this really is a beautiful song, even after all these years. It has that timeless quality to it and I do list it as an all-time favorite of mine. Lyrics are below ~

Baby, don't understand
Why we can't just hold on to each other's hands?
This time might be the last if fear unless
I make it all too clear I need you so, ohh
Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again, learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in
Take these broken wings
Baby, I think tonight
We can take what was wrong and make it right
Baby, it's all I know that you're half of the flesh
And blood that makes me whole, I need you so.
So take these broken wings
And learn to fly again, learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in
Yeah, yeah
Let us in
Let us in
Baby, it's all I know that you're half of the flesh
And blood that makes me whole
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
So take these broken wings
And learn to fly again, learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in
Take these broken wings
You got to learn to fly, learn to live and love so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up for us and let us in
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh
Why we can't just hold on to each other's hands?
This time might be the last if fear unless
I make it all too clear I need you so, ohh
Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again, learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in
Take these broken wings
Baby, I think tonight
We can take what was wrong and make it right
Baby, it's all I know that you're half of the flesh
And blood that makes me whole, I need you so.
So take these broken wings

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
So take these broken wings
And learn to fly again, learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing

When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up for us and let us in
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh

Dance the night away ~
So many changes ~
It's been a crazy, stoopid busy few months. I'm not really sure where the past 3 months have gone, to be honest. School started for Emma, high school(whatever!)...job started at Oven Monkey bakery in town...worked the Haunted Swamp at Carleton Farms again (waaaay too fun, I love being at the farm). Music Man, which I did help in a very minimal way with ( i had committed to do it and i always follow through), happened. Other things popped up as lovely diversions to a lonely life, but they all appear to be fading away now. Music Man is over, Carleton is done, the diversion is diverted elsewhere, the weather sucks big time and it's hard to get out to walk and work off the frustration. I feel okay about it all, just not ready to stall again. I want to keep moving, to keep life rolling in a direction and I'm a little panicked that it's going to rest...no more resting. No more stalling. No more false starts, dammit. Get the freaking party running and don't let it slow down, thank you very much.
I'm ready for more.
Music and dance have become huge to me again. Love them. Have music running almost 24/7...can't stop myself from dancing when it's on and I just don't care. That's why there are so many music posts now ~ I'd say that at this point in the journey it's saving my life. Thank God for it! So, I hope that you enjoy the selections I put on here, get a move out of them, feel the emotion and power that is there...

Secret...beautiful song
Love Maroon 5
Secret, put to clips from the movie, "The Wedding Date"
Lyrics below clip
Watch the sunrise
Say your goodbyes
Off we go
Some conversation
No contemplation
Hit the road
Car overheats
Jump out of my seat
On the side of the highway baby
Our road is long
Your hold is strong
Please don't ever let go Oh No
[Chorus:]
I know I don't know you
But I want you so bad
Everyone has a secret
But can they keep it
Oh No they can't
I'm driving fast now
Don't think I know how to go slow
Where you at now
I feel around
There you are
Cool these engines
Calm these jets
I ask you how hot can it get
And as you wipe off beads of sweat
Slowly you say "I'm not there yet!"
[Chorus x2]
Say your goodbyes
Off we go
Some conversation
No contemplation
Hit the road
Car overheats
Jump out of my seat
On the side of the highway baby
Our road is long
Your hold is strong
Please don't ever let go Oh No
[Chorus:]
I know I don't know you
But I want you so bad
Everyone has a secret
But can they keep it
Oh No they can't
I'm driving fast now
Don't think I know how to go slow
Where you at now
I feel around
There you are
Cool these engines
Calm these jets
I ask you how hot can it get
And as you wipe off beads of sweat
Slowly you say "I'm not there yet!"
[Chorus x2]
ummm...
Who even reads these things?
Have you ever had anything that you want to say, to talk about...and you can't? There isn't anybody to tell that you CAN tell? There isn't any place to say it and just have it out. You want to talk about it but you're just stuck?
WHY am I always in that position?
:/
So, here in some type of code, is what I want to say and can't:

Hate Myself...not really, lol
Midnight gettin' uptight Where are you
You said you'd meet me now it's quarter to two
I know I'm hangin' but I'm still wantin' you
Hey Jack It's a fact they're talkin' in town
I turn my back and you're messin' around
I'm not really jealous don't like lookin' like a clown
I think of you ev'ry night and day
You took my heart then you took my pride away
I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you that's why
I hate myself for loving you
Daylight spent the night without you
But I've been dreamin' 'bout the lovin' you do
I won't be as angry 'bout the hell you put me through
Hey man betcha you can treat me right
You just don't know what you was missin' last night
I wanna see you beggin', say forget it just for spite
[ I think of you ev'ry night and day
You took my heart then you took my pride away
I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you, that's why
I hate myself for loving you
I think of you ev'ry night and day
You took my heart then you took my pride away
I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you that's why
I hate myself for loving you
I think of you ev'ry night and day
You took my heart then you took my pride away
I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you that's why
I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself
For loving you
