Or, if you're like me, there is a song for every person you know.
Words and lyrics are so powerful. Even if they don't mean anything now, the fact that they meant something at one point makes them craters that have been created by someone else impacting your heart.
And it drive you crazy. You don't know why you can't let go of the person -- every time you hear that song... or band or whatever else.
The worst part? You listen to the song over and over... because it reminds you of that person. For some reason, you think that listening to the song a bazillion times will help you forget. You think, "Oh hey. This song was totally written just for how I feel right now. It's PERFECT." The song is everything you ever wanted to say to the person or whatever, so you listen to it. You think it'll help you get over it/him/her.
The ironic part? It does the complete opposite. You listen to it so many times until the lyrics are written into your head. Then song gets stuck in your head. It eats at you. It makes your more sad/mad/bitter -- which only makes you listen to the song more. Then you start to get sick of the song, BUT IT STILL SAY EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED TO HEAR. So then there you are: listening to a song that has now become old, but it still feels new. Then you get stuck in a terrible cycle until all you want to do is watch other sad things or eat chocolate and ice cream. Baaad things happen. Seriously.
Songs are like people. People are like songs. I guess that since people are the ones who write songs, that makes sense. (Beckyie smarte smarte rite? :D) There's that one person that you go back to. This one person, whether it's a friend, family member, ex-boyfriend/girlfriend, or whatever, is someone who can break you so easily... if they wanted to. The majority of the time, however, the relationship feels one-sided. You pour your time, thoughts, and whatever else into making sure that you do everything you can for that other person. Half the time you smile just thinking about the things you love about them -- on the other hand, you spend the other half trying to figure out why they're even in your life.
You love them, but you wish you didn't. Well, I take that back. You just wish that you could choose whether you cared about them or not. But, it feels like you have no choice. It's either: you keep giving your all to them, or you feel empty inside. Even if you haven't changed at all, they make you feel bipolar. You just can't explain it. You want to spend time with them all the time, but sometimes, you wish that you had never met them. Are the hurts/letdowns/heartbreaks/whatever else it is for you worth it? You don't know. It feels like you've never had the opportunity to find out.
Just once. For once, you would like them to do the things for you that you do for them. (That's such a weird sentence...) Or at least care the same amount. But they don't, and life moves on. Maybe you're supposed to learn from this. But what should you learn? Should you learn to let go of that person? Or should you learn to love even the worst flaws about them? Should you be patient? Or should you ignore them? Are they worth your time? Should you let them hold your heart? Or should you hide it from them once and for all?
I don't have the answers.
No one does.
Actually, I take that back. Some do.
If no one held the answers... how else would your song exist?
