I filled up my mp3 with some real doozys... Some of my faves are Karma by Alicia Keyes, Get Gone by Fionna Apple and You Oughta Know by Alanis Morrissette... yeah... Girls rock!

yep, Unwritten. Heard the words 8/2/06, not just the chorus, and it finally hit me.

I like 'Hate (I really don't like you)' by the Plain White T's. I don't REALLY hate STBX, but listening to this song made me laugh and helped get in the right mindset to stop the pain. Lyrics at http://www.plyrics.com/lyrics/plainwhitets/hateireallydontlikeyou.html.

oh, how could we forget

what song is it that you want to hear?

Serj Tankian
"Empty Walls"
It kicks ass, and helps me work thru my anger

I really like "Fly like an Eagle" by Steve Miller.

Rascal Flats "Stand"
As for why just read the lyrics. But I wouldn't be where I am without the support of my dear friends here.


You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But youll be alright
Youll be alright

Chorus:
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide youve had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand,
Then you stand

2
Life's like a novel
With the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon
With only one way down
Take what you're given before its gone
Start holding on, keep holding on

Chorus:
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
[Stand lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

Decide youve had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand,
Yeah then you stand.

Bridge:
Everytime you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place
Ooohhh

Chorus:
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide youve had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand,
Then you stand
Yeah then you stand.
Yeah then you stand.
Yeah baby
ohhhhhhhhh
ohhhhhhhhh
ohhhhhhhhh
ooohhhhhhh
then you stand

'Fidelity by Regina Specktor' because she has a pretty...uh,ah...set of eye's.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morrissette, Lots of R.E.M., especially Everybody Hurts and Nightswimming. When I am especially pissed at Mr. Wonderful, nothing lifts my spirits better than the Chics' Goodbye Earl!

Perry Mason - Ozzy puts me in better mood.

Nothingman and Black (both Pearl Jam)

"I'm Moving On" by Rascal Flatts

I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I'm at peace with myself
I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long
I'm movin' on

I've lived in this place and I know all the faces
Each one is different but they're always the same
They mean me no harm but it's time that I face it
They'll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong
I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on
At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone
There comes a time in everyone's life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone

I sold what I could and packed what I couldn't
Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
I've loved like I should but lived like I shouldn't
I had to lose everything to find out
Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road
I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on

right now mine is "stay" by sugarland... GREAT song! It's how I feel today.

Bring on the Rain by JoDee Messina and Tim McGraw and Settlin' by Sugarland

"Not Ready to Make Nice" by the Dixie Chicks. I know it's not strictly about relationships, but it reminds me how angry I am at B. Also, "Stupid" by Sarah McLaughlin and (I am embarassed to type this) "My Happy Ending" by Avril Lavigne. I know Avril's for 12 year olds, but that song makes me feel better every single time. Oh, more good ones: "God" and "Tear in Your Hand" by Tori Amos. I also like "Just Like You" by Three Days Grace. That song reminds me that there's a lot of things about B that I don't want to ever deal with again, let alone emulate.
