This is probably the WORST day of my lovelife. And I'm so not overreacting. There should me a fucking limit for how much crap somebody can take.

+ Unloveable

"I know I'm unloveable
You don't have to tell me
Message received loud and clear."

+ I'm A Fool To Want You

+ The Darker Days of Me and Him

"Promises, promises
I'm feeling burned
You taught me a lesson
I didn't want to learn
...
I long for, I long for
I long for my home
I long for a land where
No man was ever known."

+ Both Sides Now
"I've looked at love from both sides now,
from give and take, and still somehow
it's love's illusions I recall.
I really don't know love at all."

+ Waste of Paint

"Will my number come up eventually?
Like Love is some kind of lottery
Where you scratch and see what is underneath. It's 'Sorry', just one cherry, 'Play Again.' Get lucky."

+ The humpty dumpty lovesong

+ All Is Full of Love
"You'll be given love
You'll be taken care of
You'll be given love
You have to trust it

Maybe not from the sources
You have poured yours
Maybe not from the directions
You are staring at
...
All is full of love
You just aint receiving."

+ Bulletproof

+ Barbarella

+ The Engine Driver

"And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
My bones
(And if you don't love me let me go)."

+ Someday You Will Be Loved

"You'll be loved you'll be loved
Like you never have known
The memories of me
Will seem more like bad dreams
Just a series of blurs
Like I never occurred
Someday you will be loved."

songs that cheer me up.

last night I was about to go out with the girls* and was in an awful mood. so I thought I should tune into the cheer up station, but not a single song that played on that damn station was capable of actually cheering me up. maybe I should come up with my own cheer up playlist ;) here it goes:

+ O Truque Do Ovo
+ Eu Pensei
+ Viva Las Vegas
+ Sexual Revolution
+ I Feel Like A Child
+ Dancing With Myself
+ The night of the dancing
flames
+ Two of Us
+ L'excessive
+ Reptilia

Believer is probably the sweetest song I've ever heard. I'm going to listen to it 'til the end of my days <3
