"I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
She bitched so much.
She drove me nuts,
And now I'm happier this way
I had to put her, six feet under,
And I can still hear her complain"

I Used To Love Her by Guns N Roses

come and say something to me

This song absolutely slays me, and on her live CD, it's just so painful. In this video, you can see and feel her pain when she sings this, and her sincerity:

There ain't nothin' like regret
To remind you you're alive

"The Difficult Kind" by Sheryl Crow

I think I was wrong, I think you were right
All my angry words, keep me up at night
Through the old screen door, I still can hear you say
"Ohhh, honey won't you stop treatin' me that way"

If you could only see
What love has made of me
Then I'd no longer be in your mind, the difficult kind
Cuz babe I've changed

Say it to me slow, say it with your eyes
Cuz if anyone should know how to let it slide
I swear I can see you, coming up the drive
There ain't nothin' like regret, to remind you you're alive

If you could only see
What love has made of me
Then I'd no longer be in your mind, the difficult kind
Cuz babe I've changed

I crossed the canyon a thousand times
And never noticed what was mine
What you'll remember of me tonight
Well, it almost makes me cry
Yeah, it almost makes me cry

Oh, ball-breaking moon, and ridiculing stars
The older I get, the closer you are
Don't you got somewhere, that you need to be
Instead of hanging here, making a fool of me

If you could only see
What love has made of me
Then I'd no longer be in your mind, the difficult kind
But you won't see the change in me, No

If you could only see
What love has made of me
Then I'd no longer be in your mind, the difficult kind
But you won't see
No, you won't see the good in me
But babe, I've changed
Yes babe, I've changed

(This is the version on the live CD, "The Globe Sessions," with Sarah McLachlan joining her on stage. She's happy and relieved to see Sarah, you can tell, and their voices are perfect together, but you can see and hear her pain in the other video without her friend there as backup.)

"Promises" by Lyle Lovett

"Promises given
And promises broken
Words stain my lips
Just like blood on my hands

And words are like poison
That sinks down inside you
And some things you do
You just don't understand

I offer no reason
I ask for no pity
I make no excuse
For the way that I am

And words are like poison
That sinks down inside you
And some things you do
You just don't understand

If God is my witness
Then God is my savior
But if you are my judge
Then I'm already damned

And words are like poison
That sinks down inside you
And some things you do
You just don't understand

And would if my fingers
To cut off and give you
Could gain my redemption
I'd cut off my hands

But words are like poison
That bends you and blinds you
And some things you do
You just don't understand

So this is my story
And I hope that it finds you
For your sweet attention
I cannot demand

And words are like poison
That lives down inside you
And some things you do
You just don't understand"

"I won’t need to think of nice things to say
won’t want to want this way anymore
Sshh now, here comes solace
from this comes strength, I promise
This is it, soon I won’t care

No need for pain, nothing physical, no violence
Just intense thought, some space, some silence
Just something pure and precious worth having
Soon I won’t care

Take this ridiculous mood all away
Give me something new I can say, give me
no more time to look like this
I’ll never ask again, I promise"

"Girl Crush" by Little Big Town

'I got a girl crush
Hate to admit it but
I got a heart rush
Ain't slowing down

I got it real bad
Want everything she has
That smile and that midnight laugh
She's giving you now

I want to taste her lips
Yeah, 'cause they taste like you
I want to drown myself
In a bottle of her perfume

I want her long blonde hair
I want her magic touch
Yeah, 'cause maybe then
You'd want me just as much

I got a girl crush
I got a girl crush

I don't get no sleep
I don't get no peace
Thinking about her
Under your bed sheets

The way that she's whispering
The way that she's pulling you in
Lord knows I've tried,
I can't get her off my mind

I want to taste her lips
Yeah, 'cause they taste like you
I want to drown myself
In a bottle of her perfume

I want her long blonde hair
I want her magic touch
Yeah, 'cause maybe then
You'd want me just as much

I got a girl crush

I got a girl crush
Hate to admit it but
I got a heart rush
It ain't slowing down

(Songwriters: Liz Rose / Lori McKenna / Hillary Lee Lindsey)

Here is the original video by Little Big Town from 2015. Very understated, but hey, I'm a sucker for a waltz, and this one just shatters my heart.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYZMT8otKdI

Then we have Adam Lambert and Leona Lewis singing a tribute to Little Big Town at the CMA's in 2015. Equally beautiful -- Adam's voice melts my heart, while also shattering it. No small feat. He also sings it in the same key, but an octave higher than the female vocalist in the first video. I thought I would love one more than the other, but I don't. They are equally beautiful. If you have someone to waltz around your kitchen with, I highly recommend it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmdmhHQkiK0

And then, we have Harry Styles singing this at the BBC in 2017, in the same key, but an octave lower, but just for the first verse. Then he goes up into his higher register and it's actually interesting, getting better as he gets further into the song. I do love his voice, when he lets loose with it. He reminds me of a young Mick Jagger. I just think he needs more confidence. And hey, 11.5 million screaming teenage girls can't be wrong. And I read on another video of his that this band is made up of his friends from back home. That little keyboard player is just too cute, and Harry plays the guitar, the only one in the three videos to actually play an instrument. They do a live cover of Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" that is really and truly magnificent, and I don't say that lightly. They just seem to work well together.

Thank you for sharing! Nice to see you again! :)

I close my eyes and think of home
Another city goes by in the night
Ain't it funny how it is
You never miss it 'til it's gone away
And my heart is lying there
And will be 'til my dying day

So understand, don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up, make your stand
And realize you're living in the golden years



Wasted Years - Iron Maiden
