Black - pearl jam

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
But why
Why
Why can't it be
Why can't it be mine.

I'm so damn lonely
And ain't even high
I hate to go home alone
But what else is new
I'm so damn lonely
I hate to go home alone
But what else is new
I'm so damn lonely?

Ugly Kid Joe version of Cats in the Craddle.

Bridge by Queensryche

You say, "Son, let's forget the past.
I want another chance, gonna make it last."
You're begging me for a brand new start,
Trying to mend a bridge that's been blown apart,
But you know you never built it dad.

I Could Use A Lovesong by Maren Morris

Martha Wainwright - Bloody Motherfucking Asshole (apparently about her Dad - but definitely works for both).

Immortality Celine Dion and BeeGees. Gets me every time. Take care xx

ColoExpat · 15/09/2018 15:30

When the tears are out and you're ready for a break, try "Time Machine" by Ingrid Michaelson. It's an upbeat, butt-kicking, better off without you kind of song. Plus, the video is fantastic!

We were never meant to be/ and if I had a time machine/ I'd rewind and I'd tell me/ to ruuuuuuuuun!
