(I'm not) Missing You (at all)


Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath,
and I'm still standing here and you're miles away
And I'm wondering why you left
And theres a storm thats raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinking about you
And its almost driving me wild
And it's my heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I aint missing you at all since you've been gone away
I aint missing you no matter what my friends say
Theres a message in the wild
And Im sending you this signal tonight
You don't know how desperate Ive become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning
Though I'm trying hard to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I aint missing you at all since you've been gone away
I aint missing you no matter what my friends say

And theres a message that I'm sending out, like a telegraph to your soul
And if I cant bridge this distance -- stop this heartbreak overload
I aint missing you at all since you've been gone away
I aint missing you no matter what my friends say

I aint missing you
I aint missing you
I keep lying to myself
And theres a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I aint missing you at all since you've been gone away
I aint missing you no matter what my friends say
Aint missing you
I aint missing you
I aint missing you
I keep lying to myself
Aint missing you
I aint missing you
I aint missing you
I aint missing you
Aint missing you
Oh no No matter what my friends might say
I aint missing you

If you Didn't love me - Phil Stacey



A broken bat in the grass
Takin' one too many fastballs
Tired of swingin'

Spin the wheels, grindin' gears
Goin' nowhere in a downpour
Mud just slingin'

That's what it feels like
Climbin' uphill all the way
Like life's a wild horse
I ain't ever gonna break

If you didn't love
If you didn't love
If you didn't love me
Then I don't know how
I don't know how
I could do this
If you didn't love
If you didn't love
If you didn't love me
Then I don't know how
I'd get through this
If you didn't love me
If you didn't love me

A mountain top, another shot
I'm born again
And put some fight back in me
Sunrise, oh yeah

That's what it feels like
Wakin' up in your arms, girl
Without your sweet smile
This would be a tougher world

If you didn't love
If you didn't love
If you didn't love me
Then I don't know how
I don't know how
I could do this
If you didn't love
If you didn't love
If you didn't love me
I don't know how
I'd get through this
If you didn't love me

Sometimes it feels like
I'm runnin' straight into the wind
You whisper three words
And it's at my back again
Yeah, it's at my back again

If you didn't love
If you didn't love
If you didn't love me
Well I don't know how
I don't know how
I could do this
If you didn't love
If you didn't love
If you didn't love me
I don't know how
I'd get through this
If you didn't love me
If you didn't love me

i can't unlove you - Kenny Rogers


This has to be the absolute best heartbreak song ever written -- real, honest, not too sappy. :)
Postcards and letters
Pictures made to last forever
To Be boxed up
and tossed away
Nick-Nacs and Souvenirs
In an afternoon
They're out of here
They'll disappear without a trace
What they mean to me can never be replaced
I can't unthink about you
I can't unfeel your touch
I can't unhear all the words
Unsay all the things that used to mean so much
I wish I could unremember
Everything my hearts been through
Im finding out its impossible to do
Oh, its no use
I cant unlove you
Interstates and old songs
Like time they go on and on
I guess I could learn to do the same
I could wake up without you
These two arms not around you
Tell myself it's meant to be this way
No matter how I try
Some things I can't change.
I can't unthink about you
I can't unfeel your touch
I can't unhear all the words
Unsay all the things that used to mean so much
I wish I could unremember
Everything my hearts been through
Im finding out its impossible to do
Oh, its no use
I cant unlove you
I wish I could unremember
Everything my hearts been through
Im finding out its impossible to do
Its no use
I cant unlove you

bright smile - Josh Ritter



Now my work is done
I feel I'm owed some joy
Oh Imogene and Abelard
I'm your homeward boy

But there's another one
That brings me to your door
And the boat you weaved from the tidal reeds
Was always tied to shore
With bright smiles and dark eyes
Bright smile dark eyes
Everywhere I went oh
I was always searching for your
Bright smile dark eyes
I'm looking for some peace
But it's so hard to find
With Calamity Janes and the Steamboat Casanovas
And Darling Clementines

If she's your only one
Then she is also mine
Just pin your heartbeat up against my heartbeat
And you'll see how well we rhyme

With bright smiles and dark eyes
Bright smile dark eyes
Everywhere I went oh
I was always looking for your
Bright smile dark eyes
Man is only half himself
The other half is a bright thing
He tumbles on by luck or grace
For man is ever a blind thing
Bright smiles and dark eyes
Bright smile dark eyes
Everywhere I went oh
I was always looking for your
Bright smile dark eyes

I would have loved you anyway



If I'd've known the way that this would end
If I'd've read the last page first
If I'd've had the strength to walk away
If I'd've known how this would hurt...

[Chorus 1:]
I would've loved you anyway
I'd do it all the same
Not a second I would change
Not a touch that I would trade
Had I known my heart would break
I'd've loved you anyway

It's bittersweet to look back now
At mem'ries withered on the vine
But just to hold you close to me
For a moment in time...

[Repeat chorus 1]

[Bridge:]
And even if I'd seen it coming
You'd still've seen me running
Straight into your arms

[Chorus 2:]
I would've loved you anyway
I'd do it all the same
Not a second I would change
Not a touch that I would trade
Had I known my heart would break
I would've loved you anyway
I would've loved you anyway

breaking up is hard to do (the happiest sad song ever)



(no lyrics needed here --- :) Why does everyone smile when singing this song?)

somwewhere in the world



Like a stranger's smile
that lasts for a while
For a moment you feel happy inside
In a world that keeps on changing too fast
When the future always has the last laugh
Maybe we've made mistakes
Maybe we're not the only ones
Maybe it's not too late
To start over
All the shapes and patterns
you'll see in your mind
Somewhere in the world
(Someone's thinking of you)
Somewhere in the world
(Someone's thinking of you)
Like a rainbow bursting out of the sky
Close your eyes and see your
dreams running wild
Colors brighter than the sun all around
Everlasting as this new joy you've found
Maybe we've made mistakes
Maybe we're not the only ones
Maybe it's not too late
To start over
All the shapes and patterns
you'll see in your mind
Somewhere in the world
(Someone's thinking of you)
Starting all over again
In a world that keeps on
changing much too fast
Maybe we've made mistakes
Maybe we're not the only ones
Maybe it's not too late
To start over
All the shapes and patterns
you'll see in your mind
Somewhere in the world
(Someone's thinking of you)
Somewhere in the world
(Someone's thinking of you)
Somewhere in the world
(Someone's thinking of you)
Somewhere in the world
(Someone's thinking of you)
Somewhere in the world

I will always love you



If I should stay
Well I would only be in your way
And so I'll go, and yet I know
That I'll think of you each step of my way

And I will always love you
I will always love you

Bittersweet memories
That's all I have and all I'm taking with me
Good-bye, oh please don't cry
Cause we both know that I'm not what you need

But I will always love you
I will always love you

And I hope life will treat you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh I do wish you joy and I wish you happiness
But above all of this, I wish you love
I love you, I will always love you

I, I will always, always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
