music and you

Music has helped me in so many ways. I can listen to a song and I'll feel rejuvenated and stronger. Music is one of the reasons how I just... stopped making excuses not for me, but for everything that has been said and done.

One of the songs that really stuck with me was this particular one by Oasis.

Stop Crying Your Heart Out

Hold up
Hold on
Don't be scared
You'll never change whats been and gone

May your smile (may your smile)
Shine on (shine on)
Don't be scared (don't be scared)
Your destiny may keep you warm

Cos all of the stars
Are fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see them some day
Take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out

Get up (get up)
Come on (come on)
Why're you scared? (I'm not scared)
You'll never change
What's been and gone

After the countless times of hearing the song on replay, I knew it was enough. I'm done. So done of trying. Even then, I knew I wasn't trying hard enough because I just couldn't bring myself to. I'm not a saint and I know I'll never be one. I refused to be sucked into an abyss that promises nothingness, once again.

When two hearts beat as one, when there is so much love flowing in silence, when you just want to save him/her from all the pain, the sincerest of I Love You will suffice. If it's not, then maybe there wasn't much love to begin with or maybe none at all.

Funny thing was, instead of becoming more cynical, well, I didn't.

This song helped.

Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own - U2

Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough

You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

We fight all the time
You and I...that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need...I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more

I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can - you - hear - me - when - I -
Sing, you're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me...

Where are we now?
I've still got to let you know
A house still doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone...

You picked me up when I was down and out.

Instead of berating me, you took patience to a whole new level.

You cared for me every step of the way.

You understood. You shared.

You became a constant.
