I love my music and have been listening to the Foo Fighters "Best of You" this morning. Cant decide if I think its a wallow/progress song!

I'll try anything at this point. Feeling stuck, and a little hopeless things will get any better.

Almost 2 years separated (Sep) and still feel stuck in 2015....Sad

Blurred Lines, Robin Thicke. About how he isn't my maker; I am my own person and don't deserve to be taken for granted.

Gives You Hell by The All American Rejects (this one is great for angry shouting) m.youtube.com/watch?v=-yZ30pTw8KM

I wake up every evening
With a big smile on my face
And it never feels out of place
And you're still probably working
At a nine to five pace
I wonder how bad that tastes

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell

Now where's your picket fence love
And where's that shiny car
And did it ever get you far
You never seemed so tense love
I've never seen you fall so hard
Do you know where you are

And truth be told I miss you
And truth be told I'm lying

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell

Tomorrow you'll be thinking to yourself
Where'd it all go wrong?
But the list goes on and on

And truth be told I miss you
And truth be told I'm lying

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool, you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell

Now you'll never see
What you've done to me
You can take back your memories
They're no good to me
And here's all your lies
You can't look me in the eyes
With the sad, sad look
That you wear so well

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you hear this song and you sing along but you never tell
Then you're the fool, I'm just as well
Hope it gives you hell

When you hear this song
I hope that it will treat you well

You can sing along
I hope that it puts you through hell

And

My Happy Ending by Avril Lavigne m.youtube.com/watch?v=s8QYxmpuyxg

Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something you said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up so high on such a breakable thread (breakable thread)

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

You were everything, everything that I wanted (that I wanted)
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it (we lost it)
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
So much for my happy ending
Oh, oh, oh, oh

You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say (know what they say)
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they (but so are they)
But they don't know me
Do they even know you? (even know you)
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do (all the shit that you do)

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

You were everything, everything that I wanted (that I wanted)
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it (we lost it)
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending

It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done

He was everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending

You were everything, everything that I wanted (that I wanted)
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending

I love Ben Folds, two of his songs I like.

(I think it is about when a couple split or are going to split and you feel the other person doesn't understand you)

And this I love, but from a female perspective

Girlywurly · 16/05/2017 14:41

Beyonce's Flawless remix with Nicki Minaj. It's a bit silly, but whenever I hear Beyoncé singing 'I'm the shit', I think, 'I am too, Bey!!' Plus, Nicki Minaj has never failed to put a smile on my face. Grin

pudding21 · 16/05/2017 14:44

Last one (can you see I like to release my frustrations through music :)

Head up, heart strong......

JellyBean31 · 16/05/2017 14:46

Rudimental - Not giving In

But also these lyrics from Kelly Clarkson's, You Love Me

You didn’t let me down,
You didn’t tear me apart,
You just opened my eyes,
While breaking my heart,
You didn’t do it for me,
I’m not as dumb as you think,
You just made me cry,
While claiming that you love me

NellyTimes · 16/05/2017 14:55

I remember hearing Jar Of Hearts by Christina Perri not long after I'd left my EA husband and it became a bit of a theme for me, particularly the line "But I have grown to strong to ever fall back in your arms".

Not the kind of song I normally like, but it just struck a chord.

Forwardsforwards · 16/05/2017 15:07

Thanks everyone :)

I've lots to listen to later.... Anything girl power is good.

Its funny, Nelly I'm the same re 'big' lyric and yet it is true. I'd never have him back. Never.
