If you wondewr why I prefer talking to gals, over guys, this song can explain a lot.

A part of me wishes I had never looked up the lyrics and studied them, because now this song will always depress me some........ But it's a great song, and it's done now. And true, all far too often. (

Beat Service & Neev Kennedy -- So You Win Again

Audio:



Lyrics:

A lonely road that I must follow
A bittersweet pill for me to swallow
I'm not gonna pretend that it didn't mean a thing

And if it's all about the game then
You win again

A darkened chase in which I wallow,
You have left and now I'm hollow.
I'm not gonna pretend that it didn't mean a thing
And if it's all about the game then
You win again
You win again

You win again

[So you win again
It was all about the winning
Not the feeling
And you knew it from the moment that we met
Only need that to winning
It had no needing] x2

Good heavens....that's a terrible thought, though you are right...there are tons of guys that I am sure are like that.  How awful

I took the lyrics you provided, and added in the white space -- it really is importamt... lol. The lines where there is white space (ie: a break) both before and after -- those are the lines that the song keys on, and tries to emphasize.

I didn't get these lyrics right away... it took listening to it a few times.....

And now I see better why this one matters to you so much.
I have to bite my tongue and watch what I say.......

The endings.... ~sigh~
~does a Marvel-TV-show-move, goes back in time and appears in a forest~

But they are both the same....
The current couldn't be themselves without the old.
Even though the person "she used to know" had bad times....
In the end, those times made her better, tougher, stronger....

I would recommend that pie, either the then... or the now... to anyone who wishes to be a "connossieur of men" (people).

And if they knew of a finer, I would bug them relentlessly hoping that they'd share.

I'll be adding the lyrics below, in all their glory, with the white space in all the right places.

Thanks for sharing??

(The intonation of just the word "lonely" by itself could start waterworks... But yeah, the pauses are also important. ~smile~

And the last hurdle I have: When you hear the song, you get the feeling that she misses the old her... and yet she realizes the great problems she had then, even though then... she was unaware...
And that the assumption that sometimes it's better to be broken and unaware is untrue -- for without realization, healing never begins.

It's a tough one for me to see the writer's point of view.)

This song is longer, and there's no repetition of lyrics at all, really.

Here they are:

Sara Bareilles -- She Used To Be Mine

It's not simple to say
That most days I don't recognize me
That these shoes and this apron
That place and its patrons
Have taken more than I gave them

It's not easy to know
I'm not anything like I used be, although it's true
I was never attention's sweet center
I still remember that girl

She's imperfect, but she tries
She is good, but she lies
She is hard on herself
She is broken and won't ask for help

She is messy, but she's kind
She is lonely most of the time
She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie

She is gone, but she used to be mine

It's not what I asked for
Sometimes life just slips in through a back door
And carves out a person and makes you believe it's all true
And now I've got you

And you're not what I asked for
If I'm honest, I know I would give it all back
For a chance to start over and rewrite an ending or two
For the girl that I knew

Who'll be reckless, just enough
Who'll get hurt, but who learns how to toughen up
When she's bruised and gets used by a man who can't love

And then she'll get stuck
And be scared of the life that's inside her
Growing stronger each day 'til it finally reminds her
To fight just a little, to bring back the fire in her eyes

That's been gone, but used to be mine
Used to be mine

She is messy, but she's kind
She is lonely most of the time
She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie
She is gone, but she used to be mine

---

It really IS a sad song, and meant to be sad.

But shouldn't she be happy?? At least at the end?

Perhaps it's just that it's not quite time for her to be happy yet.

My fave lines:
Growing stronger each day 'til it finally reminds her
To fight just a little, to bring back the fire in her eyes

To which I say:
Fight the good fight, Make it worth the price we pay
~grin~

IF I would have replied to the song post, this would have been so long, so I will reply to your comment to Used to Be Mine song here @Squirrel . I think this song is saying... she lost herself. She was damaged by people who took advantage of her, and all of those people turned her into someone different than her true self.  She wishes she could go back and change the outcomes for her younger self, but she can't. Then she meets a man who damages her further and uses her (when you're damaged it is not the time to find your spouse) basically controls her to a point of taking her power to free herself, and now she's trying to find her self worth and fight to be herself and free herself.  At least, that's what this song says to me.

Okay, that even explains it better for me. ~smile~

Yes... alas, some of life's circumstances just happen TO us, not because we wanted it, or prompted it... and sometimes those things have profound negative effects on our lives, that we just are forced to deal with. ~sighs again~

And alas, I have a feeling that maybe half (maybe even more??) of the people reading this can identify with that -- something bad that happened to them that they had no control over, which changed them permanently.

I should try to explain the way I edit posts... It's easy enough, once you get the hang of it. ~grin~ But you picked a good choice! And for anyone else, faced with one of my longer posts, feel free to do the same (Add a new post to the thread itself, and @ 'mention' me, instead of replying.

LOL. Or maybe I'll try publishing my "course". (Hopefully it won't turn out to be a book. :| )

[Squirrel]

I'm not sure what this one is about.... but I like the tune anyhow.

Maybe the end of a relationship, where you verbally whup their @ss, and get the pain out??
That's my best guess... but I don't really ascribe to that method... unless you think it will wake the intended up, and make them understand something.

(But in my experience, such things often fail, and leave you feeling sorry that you worked yourself up, spewed thinking that it would help... when it was doomed to fall upon deaf ears.)

Gareth Emery ft. LJ Ayrten - Beautiful Rage

We’re falling
Fading
Gonna fade out
Surrender searching
Making it count
Holding hoping
Never enough
One last moment

As the stars die out
We’re burning and it’s beautiful
Cause it all comes down
See the sky fall down

I’m dancing in the flames tonight
The fire heals the pain
As the stars die out
We’re burning in a beautiful rage

We’re falling
Fading
We’re falling
Fading

As the stars die out
We’re burning and it’s beautiful
Cause it all comes down
See the sky fall down

We’re dancing in the flames tonight
The fire heals the pain
As the stars die out
We’re burning in a beautiful rage
In a beautiful rage

As the stars die out
We’re burning and it’s beautiful
Cause it all comes down
See the sky fall down

We’re dancing in the flames tonight
The fire heals the pain
As the stars die out
We’re burning in a beautiful rage
In a beautiful rage
