break up music

i believe a good break up is like being at a karaoke bar.

you hem and haw on the sidelines, asking yourself,"am i really going to do this?"

then, inspiration, a sudden burst of confidence hits and the next thing you know,

you're up there on your own. you second-guess yourself, "what did i just do?".
you, anxiety, and insecurity make up your three-person band.

now here's the real hard part: the music. of course, every good break up (just like every good karaoke performance) requires a good soundtrack.
or at least, that one good song that summarizes your relationship, or the angst you feel, or maybe it was "your song" while you were together - the kind that sends you into their arms in five notes or less.

we had a song like that. and even though it will always be a classic song to me - i wonder how to hear it's message to me today...is this a sign of days too far gone? is this confirmation that indeed, the one who held my heart through this song, is the same to hold it now?

if only luther were around to be my love guide! =) im only half-serious.
until i figure out the message behind/in/through the music, i'll keep looking for karaoke songs.

take it away, luther...

I thought sometime alone
was what we really needed
you said this time would hurt more than it helps
but I couldn't see that
I thought it was the end
of a beautiful story
and so I left the one I loved at home to be alone (alone)
and I tried to find
out if this one thing is true
that I'm nothing without you
I know better now
and I've had a change of heart

I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else
I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself
I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
whoo-oo-oo-oo yeah

And then I met someone
and thought she could replace you
we got a long just fine
we wasted time because she was not you
we had a lot of fun
though we knew we were faking
love was not impressed with our connection built on lies, all lies
so I'm here cause I found this one thing is true
that I'm nothing without you
I know better now
and I've had a change of heart

I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else
I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself
I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
who holds my heart

I can't blame you if you turn away from me, like I've done you,
I can only prove the things I say with time,
please be mine,

I'd rather have bad times with (please be mine) you,
than good times with someone else (I know)
I'd rather be beside you in a storm (anytime),
than safe and warm by myself (so sure baby)
I'd rather have hard times together,
than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart (my heart)

I'd rather have bad times with you (surely),
than good times with someone else (surely)
I'd rather be beside you in a storm (oh yeah),
than safe and warm by myself (all by myself)
I'd rather have hard times together,
than to have it easy apart (you know it)
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart

I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
whoooo.....who holds my heart
