Sad Songs

When I think of the saddest song that I know, I immediately think of Third Eye Blind - How's It Gonna Be. This is a song I recently heard that I think I'm going to have to add to the same category. It's a really good song and I actually ended up buying the album (so far I really like it). But man, does this song make me feel sad. It makes me think about broken relationships. And for me, I'm not really thinking of ex-boyfriends. I'm think of more long lived relationships (or those that are supposed to be long lived). I think of broken friendships.. I've made my share of stupid mistakes when I was younger and at the least, I have managed to mend many of those broken relationships. The ones that matter anyway. And I don't fault myself 100%. It always takes two to play. We were all young and stupid at some point in our lives. I'm grateful that I have been able to mend a particular friendship that I thought I would never get back. It sometimes amazes me that we've been able to get through everything that we have. But I'm glad we have. 

Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know

Now and then I think of when we were together

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die

Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember


You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad it was over


But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and I feel so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know


Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
Part of me believing it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know


But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and I feel so rough
And you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
