broken

You'll never know happiness until you know sadness...

Most sad people torture themselves more by listening to the saddest songs there could ever be. And when we hear a song we can very much relate to, we listen to it over and over again. It's funny how we sing along the song, relish the lines, cry at times, endure the pain it causes, and still, play it repeatedly.

I am guilty of doing these things. I'm a hopeless romantic. I try to show toughness on the outside but I'm vulnerable inside. Whenever I'm down, broke up with someone, depressed and stressed out, I like reading sadder stories, listening to heartbreaking songs and watching tearjerkers. But most of the time, I relate my situation to songs.

Let me share with you the songs I usually listen to when I'm broken:

1. Somewhere down the road.

"Somewhere down the road,
our roads are gonna cross again,
it doesn't really matter when."

2. My immortal - Evanescence
"These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase"
and
"I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along"

3. It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday - BoyzIIMen
"If we get to see tomorrow
I hope it's worth all the wait
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday"

4. I love you, Goodbye. - Celine Dion
"Leaving someone when you love someone
Is the hardest thing to do
When you love someone as much as I love you.."

5. I'll be Over You - Toto
"There were the nights holding you close..
Someday I'll try to forget them
Someday I'll be over you..."

6. Better in Time - Leona Lewis
Thought I couldn’t live without you
"It’s gonna hurt when it heals too, oh yeah
(It’ll all get better in time)
Even though I really loved you
I’m gonna smile ’cause I deserve to
(It’ll all get better in time)"

7. Only Reminds Me of You
"I tried to run from your side
But each place I hide
Only Reminds Me of you"

These are the songs I listen to all the time when I'm gloomy. I feel consoled whenever I hear these songs. Just like now...
