Chump and Cheater Torch Songs

Dear Chump Lady,

What about a Friday Challenge where you give a couple examples of songs in which the lyrics are perfect summations of either

A) the feelings of the Chump

B) the mentality of the Cheater

So my example for B) would be the song “Sober” by TOOL

I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down

FSW Mid Atlantic

Dear FSW,

Your wish is my command! The Friday Challenge is yours! My submissions are A) Dayna Kurtz “Not the Only Fool in Town

Says he’s working late, but he smells like Royal Crown

(Really, CN, check out this song. It’s my whole blog in one ballad.)

And B) rancid oatmeal. (Doesn’t make much of a sound.)

TGIF!

Martin Briley’s Salt in My Tears:

I never did it
No I won’t admit it
Why should I lie for you anymore?
You never loved me
You pushed and you shoved me
I seen a woman I never saw
I saw you laugh when the knife was twisted
It still hurts but the pain has shifted
I’m looking back at the time that drifted by
But I won’t cry for the wasted years

These lyrics:

I changed the lock on my front door so you can’t see me anymore
And you can’t come inside my house, and you can’t lie down on my couch
I changed the lock on my front door
I changed the number on my phone so you can’t call me up at home
And you can’t say those things to me that make me fall down on my knees
I changed the number on my phone
I changed the kind of car I drive so you can’t see me when I go by
And you can’t chase me up the street, and you can’t knock me off of my feet
I changed the kind of car I drive
I changed the kind of clothes I wear so you can’t find me anywhere
And you can’t spot me in a crowd, and you can’t call my name out loud
I changed the kind of clothes I wear
I changed the tracks underneath the train so you can’t find me again…

Walker Hayes- You Broke Up with Me
A

(Original lyrics except for BOY and f*cked)
Darlin’ you can’t crash my party with your ‘Sorry’s and ‘What Are We’s
Don’t start rainin’ on my Mardi Gras parade for a minute
I ain’t even fixin’ to listen to your guilt trippin’
You’re forgettin’ BOY you made your bed and didn’t want me in it (Hey!)
Woah BOY,simmer on down a notch
Ain’t nobody making you watch me get my forget you on
No BOY can’t touch my good as gold
I know it’s difficult to see me on a roll
But hey, you f*cked up with me
Yeah, what can I say babe, you f*cked up with me

I am an 80’s kid who had the mullet. Dedicated to my ex-wife and my ex-minister who was banging her during my marriage:

AC/DC~~”Hell’s Bells”

Hell’s Bells,
Satan’s calling to you.
Hell’s Bells,
There’s nothing you can do.
Hell’s Bells,
He’s ringing the bells.
Hell’s Bells,
He’s going to take you to Hell.

Let’s see, for option A, I would go with K.Flay, Run for your life : “They tried to tell me I was lost in the forest like a cub with no mother when I actually was where I wanted. Bite off the venomous head, follow the chemical scent, look for the hole in the fence, take everything you demand, fast as you can and run for your life.”

How about ‘A LittleTime’ By The Beautiful South?

Male/female cheater/chump interplay.

Killer video and she even walks away ‘Mighty’ at the end

https://youtu.be/i_-xYEilLg8

I need a little time to think it over
I need a little space just on my own
I need a little time to find my freedom
I need a little…

Funny how quick the milk turns sour, isn’t it, isn’t it?
Your face has been looking like that for hours, hasn’t it, hasn’t it?
Promises, promises turn to dust
Wedding bells just turn to rust
Trust into mistrust

I need a little room to find myself
I need a little space to work it out
I need a little room all alone
I need a little…

You need a little room for your big head, don’t you, don’t you?
You need a little space for a thousand beds, won’t you, won’t you?
Lips that promise, fear the worst
Tongue so sharp, the bubble burst
Just into unjust

I’ve had a little time to find the truth
Now I’ve had a little room to check what’s wrong
I’ve had a little time, and I still love you
I’ve had a little…

You had a little time and you had a little fun, didn’t ya, didn’t you?
While you had yours, do you think I had none, do you, do ya?
The freedom that you wanted bad
Is yours for good, I hope you’re glad
Sad into un-sad…

I had a little time to think it over
Had a little room to work it out
I found a little courage to call it off
I’ve had a little time
I’ve had a little time
I’ve had a little time
I’ve had a little time

Or the classic.

“Spinozapixel, so curious about your username! Why Spinoza?”

Philosophical hero of mine. Spinoza held good and evil to be relative concepts; nothing is intrinsically ‘good’ or ‘bad’ except relative to a particularity. Argue ‘that things’ traditionally branded good or evil were simply good or bad for HUMANS. Posited a deterministic universe in which “All things in nature proceed from certain [definite] necessity and with the utmost perfection.” where nothing happens by chance.

That’s for the cheaters who say “It just happened.”

Any song about cheating annoys me. I heard the song Your Love on the radio yesterday when I was cleaning the stalls. The song is very disturbing to me.
Josie’s on vacation far away
Come around and talk it over
So many things that I want to say
You know I like my girls a little bit older
I just want to use your love tonight
I don’t want to lose your love tonight

Sad, “Your Love” is a classic I liked, my teenagers too…they tell me they can’t stomach hearing it after their father did what he did. When I was a teenager when it came out, I didn’t think twice about the lyrics because my Dad (and/or mom) weren’t cheating assholes.

Let’s take a trip in the pop wayback machine to the summer of 1973. I dare anyone to find a more pathetic display of wretched, pathetic cheater self-centeredness as is found in “How Can I Tell Her” by Lobo (he of the immortal “Me and You and A Dog Named Boo”).

Listen as a cheater extols the virtues of his chump, then begs his OW to take the bullet and do the dirty work for him.

“How can I tell her I don’t miss her
Whenever I am away
How can I say it’s you I think of
Every single night and day
But when is it easy telling someone the truth
Oh girl, help me tell her about you”

https://youtu.be/9dEWOkGf3f0

Close second: “Torn Between Two Lovers” by Mary MacGregor

“There’s been another man that I’ve needed and I’ve loved
But that doesn’t mean I love you less
And he knows he can’t possess me and he knows he never will
There’s just this empty place inside of me that only he can fill”

Before I became a chump, I listened to songs like these as an outsider and found them mildly irritating, as cheating or being cheated on wasn’t really on my radar and it seemed silly that someone would brag about being unfaithful. Now I find them completely nauseating and disgusting. The songwriters are grandstanding about having affairs and proudly exposing themselves as narcissists without a conscience. It seems that these songs are specifically written for cheaters and I am sure my ex wife loves them.

I never liked it. Then discovered (now) ex had included a YouTube link to the song in a text to the OW. Who was his (former) bestie’s wife. And she loved it. PS- she stuck with him right up until our divorce was done. I guess it’s not fun if it ain’t dirty.

The songs, movies, & books that glorify cheating have ALWAYS bothered me. Even as a kid I found them disdainful.

I never knew why exactly as, I didn’t know anyone who had ever cheated until my brother’s wife did when I was 15. After that, they totally disgusted me & a sour taste would form in my mouth when exposed to them.

Interesting to realise the idea of cheating bothered me so much even when I was a child. By the time I was 16, I knew that if a guy ever physically hurt me or cheated on me, I would be out of there in an instant. I held firm to that belief & even told my xh that numerous times before marriage. How & why I ended up staying for 12 years after Dday, until Dday2, I’m still struggling to figure out. All I know is that I can’t forgive myself for not sticking my my deep rooted beliefs I swore to myself that I always would. Probably would make a good song. Woe is me.

I struggle with this as well. We are the frogs in a pot of water turned up to boil at our cheater’s pleasure. We’ve clawed are way out and our tending to our wounds. We have survived and now want to thrive. This shit it hard and takes time.

I now realize that strength isn’t related to the pain inflicted on someone’s soul. My Ex & his Howorker were so abusive during the divorce because I could take it. And the stronger I was, the stronger the punches. My journey now is to help others during their divorce journey, understanding that a “strong” woman is just as vulnerable. Forgiving myself will help.

Don’t forget about Self Esteem, also by Offspring, for the chump side:

I wrote her off for the tenth time today
And practiced all the things I would say
But she came over
I lost my nerve
I took her back and made her dessert
Now I know I’m being used
That’s okay because I like the abuse
I know she’s playing with me
That’s okay ’cause I’ve got no self-esteem
We make plans to go out at night
I wait till two then I turn out the light
This rejection’s got me so low
If she keeps it up I just might tell her so
When she’s saying that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she’s saying that I’m like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess I should stick up for myself
But I really think it’s better this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care, right?
Now I’ll relate this a little bit
That happens more than I’d like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door
She’s drunk again and looking to score
Now I know I should say no
But that’s kind of hard when she’s ready to go
I may be dumb
But I’m not a dweeb
I’m just a sucker with no self-esteem

My girlfriend, my dumb donut
Went out to a party just the other night
But three hours later, and seven shots of Jager
She was in the bedroom with another guy
And I don’t really want to know
So don’t tell me anymore
And I really don’t want to hear
About her feet all up in the air
I’m not the one who acted like a ho
Why must I be the one who has to know
I’m not the one who messed up big time
So spare me the details if you don’t mind
Now I can understand
Friends who want to tell me
Think they’re gonna help me open up my eyes
But the play-by-play
Makes me want to lose it
Every time you do it man it turns the knife
Now I don’t need to hear
About the sounds they were making
And I don’t need to hear
About how long it was taking
Or how the walls they were shaking …

Not a very nice song, especially for the morning——

https://youtu.be/iaysTVcounI

I don’t know why I feel the need to lie
and cause you so much pain
maybe it’s something inside
maybe it’s something I can’t explain
cause all I do
is mess you up and lie to you
I’m a liar
if you’ll give me one more chance
I swear that I will never lie to you again
because now I see the destructive power of a lie
they’re stronger than truth
I can’t believe I ever hurt you
I swear
I will never to you lie again, please
just give me one more chance
I will never lie to you again
I swear
that I will never tell a lie
no, no

For Chump feelings, I recommend:

Sleep to Dream by Fiona Apple: “I tell you how I feel but you don’t care. I say tell me the truth but you don’t dare. You say love is a hell you cannot bear, so give me mine back and then go there for all I care.”

And The Giving Tree by Plain White T’s:

All the leaves on the giving tree have fallen
No shade to crawl in underneath
I got scars from a pocket knife
Where you carved your heart into me

If all you wanted was love
Why would you use me up
Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away
When all I wanted to be was your giving tree
Settle down, build a home, and make you happy?

I lie in the dead of night and I wonder
Whose covers you’re between
And it’s sad laying in his bed
You feel hollow, so you crawl home back to me

If all you wanted was love
Why would you use me up
Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away
When all I wanted to be was your giving tree
Settle down, build a home, and make you happy?

I hope She Cheats- Gabby Barrett

This goes out to my POS X

I hope you both feel the sparks by the end of the drive
I hope you know she’s the one by the end of the night
I hope you never ever felt more free
Tell your friends that you’re so happy
I hope she comes along and wrecks every one of your plans
I hope you spend your last dime to put a rock on her hand
I hope she’s wilder than your wildest dreams
She’s everything you’re ever gonna need
And then I hope she cheats
Like you did on me
And then I hope she cheats
Like you did on me
Yeah babe, I hope she
Shows up in a 2 AM pic from her friend
Hanging on to a guy, and you just ain’t him
I hope you stay up all night all alone waiting by the phone
And then she calls
And baby I
I hope you work it out
Forgive and just about forget
And take her on a first date again
And when you lean in for a kiss
hope you both feel the sparks by the end of the drive
I hope you know she’s the one by the end of the night
I hope you never ever felt more free
Tell your friends that you’re so happy
I hope she comes along and wrecks every one of your plans
I hope you spend your last dime to put a rock on her hand
I hope she’s wilder than your wildest dreams
She’s everything you’re ever gonna need
And then I hope she cheats
Like you did on me

Rolling in the Deep helped me find strength through the worst parts after I was alone. I wonder if Leo Moracchioli covered it? *checks* Yes he did!

And of course, Brand New Day from Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog is very inspirational when you are hurting and angry.

This appeared as a moral dilemma
Cause at first it was weird though I swore to eliminate
The worst of the plague that devoured humanity
It’s true I was vague on the ‘How’
So how can it be that you have shown me the light?

It’s a brand new day
And the sun is high
All the birds are singing
That you’re gonna die

How I hesitated
Now I wonder why
It’s a brand new day

All the times that you beat me unconscious I’ll forgive
All the crimes incomplete, listen, honestly I’ll live
Mr. Cool, Mr. Right, Mr. Know-it-all is through
Now my future’s so bright and I owe it all to you
who showed me the light

It’s a brand new me
I’ve got no remorse
Now the water’s rising but I know the course
I’m gonna shock the world
Gonna show Bad Horse
It’s a Brand New Day

And Penny will see the evil me
Not a joke, not a dork, not a failure
And she may cry but her tears will dry
When I hand her the keys to a shiny new Australia.

It’s a brand new day
Yeah the sun is high
All the angels sing
Because you’re gonna die

Go ahead and laugh
Yeah, I’m a funny guy
Tell everyone goodbye
It’s a brand new day

“ Don’t tell me you’re sorry ’cause you’re not
Baby when I know you’re only sorry you got caught

But you put on quite a show
You really had me goin’
But now it’s time to go
Curtain’s finally closin’
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But it’s over now
(But it’s over now)
Go on and take a bow, oh

Grab your clothes and get gone (get gone)
(You better hurry up)
Before the sprinklers come on (come on)
Talkin’ ’bout “Girl, I love you, you’re the one”
This just looks like a re-run

Here’s one the sums up the Chump on D-day: “Forgive” by Rebecca Lynn Howard. First verse and chorus:

I always said that that’d be it
That I wouldn’t stick around
If it ever came to this
Yet here I am, so confused
How am I supposed to leave
When I can’t even move
In the time it would’ve took to say
‘Honey I’m home, how was your day’
You dropped a bomb right where we live
And expected me to just forgive?

Well, that’s a mighty big word
For such a small man
And I’m not sure I can
‘Cause I don’t even know now who I am
And it’s too soon for me to say forgive

Another chump POV song

Fleetwood Mac – Landslide
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM7-PYtXtJM

I took my love, I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Where the landslide brought me down.

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Beyoncé “me myself and I” https://music.apple.com/us/album/me-myself-and-i/201274359?i=201275913

All the ladies, if you feel me, help me sing it out
Here you go, trippin’
Everything is cool between us Bey
I told you that
Out on the road with my people, just doin’ what I gotta do
There’s nothing going that shouldn’t be goin’ on
You gotta trust me, Ma

[Verse 1]
I can’t believe I believed everything we had would last
So young and naive of me to think she was from your past
Silly of me to dream of one day having your kids
Love is so blind, it feels right when it’s wrong

[Verse 2]
I can’t believe I fell for your schemes, I’m smarter than that
So dumb and naive to believe that with me you’re a changed man
Foolish of me to compete when you cheat with loose women
It took me some time, but now I moved on
Because I realized I got

[Chorus]
Me, myself, and I
That’s all I got in the end
That’s what I found out
And it ain’t no need to cry
I took a vow that from now on, I’m gonna be my own best friend
Me, myself, and I
That’s all I got in the end

YAAAASSSS! Poor Bey, she’s definitely been chumped by Jay-Z multiple times…there’s also the song she wrote about him cheating on her with “Becky with the good hair” on her latest album, I think it’s called “Sorry.” It would be awesome if she would just dump Jay-Z once and for all – can’t tell you how many times people have used her as an example of someone who “was able to forgive” her husband’s affair(s)…F THAT NOISE.

Trail of Tears

Miles and miles away from home, on my way to an unknown foreign land.
There is not an end in sight although I look down that dusty road as far as I can see.

Refrain:
You’ve taken me from my home.
A fever’s burning, but I’m shivering cold.
I cry for mercy, but no one hears.
How long must I walk?
Trail of Tears.

Will I make it to the end or lay my body in a shallow, unmarked grave.
Either way it’s all the same, ’cause in your mind, I am nothing; just a memory.

Two become one; two become one.
One becomes two again.
Promises made, promises broken, I gave you all I had to give.
It wasn’t enough when said and done, so one becomes two again.
Vanity sleeps in the bed of another, and I’ve no place to lay my head.

Submission A is “A Plot To Bomb the Panhandle” by A Day to Remember.

Here’s a middle finger
Coming straight from oca-l-a
I appreciate your judgement
It’s proved that I can’t trust a word you say
Those must be some pair of binoculars
That you see every move I make
So I’ll never be a liar
But you’ll always be two-faced
You’ll get what’s coming to you
You’re blinded by your instincts
I’m not your fucking game
I’m not so easily beat
I’m looking down at this mess that you’ve made
And I can’t believe that I stayed
So unhappy for so long
Where did I go wrong?
I’ve got to get out of this
My hand is on the handle
We’re leaving everything behind
Goodbye for a lifetime
I’ll rip that scandalous bitch in two
We’ll bring the noise
Try to pretend that I never even knew your name
‘Cause everything you are disgusts me
(Too bad I can’t turn back time)
So I wouldn’t be here
What I’d give for you to disappear
So tell me girly how’s your edge?
You’ve got nothing better to do
I know why you can’t see straight
I thought you were better than this
But you’re just like everyone else
I’m looking down at this mess that you’ve made
And I can’t believe that I stayed
So unhappy for so long
Where did I go wrong?
I’ve got to get out of this
My hand is on the handle
We’re leaving everything behind
Goodbye for a lifetime

I Will Survive as sung by Gloria Gaynor

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARt9HV9T0w8

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so you’re back
From outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key
If I’d known for just one second you’d be back to bother me
Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
‘Cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Do you think I’d crumble
Did you think I’d lay down and die?

Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
And I’ve got all my love to give and I’ll survive
I will survive, hey, hey

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh-so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high and you see me
Somebody new
I’m not that chained-up little person and still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
Well, now I’m saving all my lovin’ for someone who’s loving me
Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
‘Cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
Do you think I’d crumble
Did you think I’d lay down and die?

Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
And I’ve got all my love to give and I’ll survive
I will survive

Oh
Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
‘Cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
Do you think I’d crumble
Did you think I’d lay down and die?

Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
And I’ve got all my love to give and I’ll survive
I will survive
I will survive

Oh, I have all my fingers
The knife goes chop chop chop
If I miss the spaces in-between my fingers will come off

And if I hit my fingers
The blood will soon come out
But all the same I play this game cause that’s what it’s all about

Oh, chop chop chop chop chop chop
I’m picking up the speed
And if I hit my fingers then my hand will start to bleed

“They say every one should have their heart broken, at least once.
That that is how you grow emotionally.
Well, I have been misused by many many many men,
But nothing can compare to how you treated me.
At times it really felt as though the pain was here to stay.
And though it’s many years ago, I feel it to this day.
And now you wanna be my friend on Facebook
Are you fuckin’ kidding me?
All the memories are flooding back to me now.
All the ways you stole the light from my eyes.
I traveled so far just to get away from you!
Till this mornings friend request surprise.
At times it really felt as though I’d never smile again.
You narcissistic ass hole, oh you nasty nasty man.
And now you wanna be my friend on Facebook

My anthem has been “That Old Pair of Jeans” by Fatboy Slim featuring Lateef the Truth Speaker.

“All you used to do was put me down
But I found a way to pick myself up off the ground
And all you used to do was criticize me
But now I found the good and I emphasize, ya see

You would always get so sensitive
And try to turn your transgressions into my guiltiness
But now, I’m certain of the way I live
And what I’m responsible for in this twisted game

And it’s such a shame that you try to make pain
Another word for my name, whether giving or receiving
It’s one and the same, just one more link
In your long-ass chain

But it’s time to break this frame and my strengthful will
Time to jump off this negative cycle we’ve built
Gave my heart but my self-respect, you won’t steal
Now, it’s time to let ya know if you can hear or feel me

So, I asked my momma for her two cents
And then I asked my little my sister and I asked my friend
Then I asked my poppa once and I asked him again
Came two little consensus from all them opinions

That life is too short to be unhappy
And since I know what I’m worth, there’ll be no settling for dirt
Knowing what I deserve is gold
If I want diamonds then I can’t settle for coal and

Maybe I was just too strong to let go
Maybe I was just too weak to let it show
Maybe I was just too stubborn to say, “No”
But whatever the case, I can’t take it no more

Sometimes, I think maybe we’ll patch it all up
Like a favorite pair of jeans that you won’t give up
Or maybe one of these arguments we’ll make up
And start again like when we started this up

Back when everything was fresh and every moment, a blessing
I’d laugh at all of your jokes, you’d listen to my suggestions
One mind, one soul, one common destination
Now, we can’t help but fight over the direction, so”

Funny how songs that I used to bob to with no real reflection now bother the heck out of me. Recently teenage son and I were watching The Guardians of the Galaxy (wonderful soundtrack!) and Escape (The Pina Colada song) came on. That song is about a married man who is bored in his relationship and decides to place a personal add. The person who answers turns out to be his wife and they end up laughing about the fact that they were both trying to screw around on each other.

I used to love that tune. Now it irritates the hell out of me. Kid and I talked about how twisted that song actually is.

Well, first came an action and then a reaction
But you can’t switch around for your own satisfaction
Well, you burnt my house down and got mad at my reaction

I ain’t the reason that you gave me no reason to return your call
You built a house of cards and got shocked when you saw them fall
Yeah, well, I ain’t saying I’m innocent – in fact, the reverse
But if you’re headed to the grave, you don’t blame the hearse
You’re like a little girl yelling at her brother ’cause you lost his ball, yeah

Well, you keep blaming me for what you did, but that ain’t all
The way you clean up the wreck is enough to give one pause
Well, you seem to forget just how this all started
I’m reacting to you because you left me broken-hearted
See, you just can’t take the effect and make it the cause

If You Could Read My Mind, Gordon Lightfoot.

The lyrics are a bit opaque. I had to look up what getting burned in a 3 way script meant to make sure I was interpreting it right.

I really relate to the idea of suddenly being a ghost in your own life.

And I always have this on a loop in my head:

“I never knew I feel this way
And I’ve got to say that I just don’t get it”

Lyrics:

If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
About a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I’m a ghost you can see
If I could read your mind love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstore sells
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
Come the hero would be me
Heroes often fail
And you won’t read that book again
Because the ending’s just to hard to take
I walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three way script
Enter number two, a movie queen
To play the scene of bringing all the good things out in me
But for now love let’s be real
I never knew I feel this way
And I’ve got to say that I just don’t get it
I don’t know where we went wrong
But the feeling’s gone and I just can’t get it back
If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie about a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
The story always ends
And if you read between the lines
You’ll know that I’m just trying to understand
The feeling that you left
I never knew I feel this way
And I’ve got to say that I just don’t get it
I don’t know where we went wrong
But the feeling’s gone
And I just can’t get it back

Goodbye
You need to tell me why

You always make me cry

I made a youtube playlist, and called it “The Road to Meh”. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTwWoy9qryUQqKzoem8AsefjtvWvlWyil I started it soon after DDay in 2015 and updated it periodically (haven’t recently but I may have to add some of the great songs listed here that I didn’t know then :)). It’s mostly from the chump POV, and I tried to include the progression of feelings as time passed. I included Adele’s “Send my love to your new lover” because to me it is about letting go of it all and celebrating being set free, reaching Meh. I don’t necessarily agree with the “send my love…treat her better” part, because frankly I just don’t care about her or how she is treated, but that part of it doesn’t bother me.

Thanks for sharing this list. My mother died one day after your last update, so it definitely brings me back to realize how far I’ve come. Past is prologue. My DD#2 was April 2017 & D final in May 2018 (25 wedding anniversary). Working toward Meh………………

And I take Adele “send my love….treat her better” to be dripping with sarcasm and a backhand for cheater to pass along to (in my case) Howorker. She knows what’s ahead for her!!!!!!!!

I’m living without you
But I know all about you
I have run you down into the ground
Spread disease about you over town

I couldn’t control you
There was nothing that I wouldn’t do

Do you have an opinion?

But I’ve run out of patience
I couldn’t care less

Now you’re here and begging for a chance
But there’s no way in hell I’d take you back
Do you have an opinion?

I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I’ve run out of patience

“Human” by Human League

Come on, baby, dry your eyes
Wipe your tears
Never like to see you cry
Won’t you please forgive me?

I wouldn’t ever try to hurt you
I just needed someone to hold me
To fill the void while you were gone
To fill this space of emptiness

I’m only human of flesh and blood I’m made
Human, born to make mistakes

So many nights I longed to hold you
So many times I looked and saw your face
Nothing could change the way I feel
No one else could ever take your place

I’m only human of flesh and blood I’m made
Human, born to make mistakes (I am just a man, human)

Please forgive me

The tears I cry aren’t tears of pain
They’re only to hide my guilt and shame
I forgive you, now I ask the same of you
While we were apart I was human too

I’m only human of flesh and blood I’m made (I am just a man)
Human, born to make mistakes
