'N' Songs

I really Like Mudshovel by Staind. You take away I feel the same All the promises you made to me you made in vain I lost myself inside your tainted smile again Cause you can't feel my ANGER You can't feel my pain You can't feel my torment Driving me insane I can't fight these feelings they will bring you pain You can't take away Make me whole again I feel betrayed Stuck in your ways And you rip me apart With the brutal things you say I can't deal with shit anymore I just look away Cause you can't feel my ANGER You can't feel my pain You can't feel my torment Driving me insane I can't fight these feelings they bring only pain You can't take away Make me whole again Mudshovel You take away I feel the same All these promises You promised only pain If you take away And leave me with nothing again 'Cause you can't feel my ANGER You can't feel my pain You can't feel my torment Driving me insane I can't fight these feelings they will bring you pain You can't take away Make me whole again You will feel my anger You will feel my pain You will feel my torment Driving you insane I can't fight these feelings they will bring you pain You won't take away I'll be whole again

He would've turned 75 this year. Here's his song "One-Sided Love Affair"- If you want to be loved, Baby, you've got to love me, too. If you want to be loved, Baby, you've got to love me, too. Oh yeah, 'cause I ain't for no one-sided love affair. If you wanna be kissed, Well, you've gotta kiss me, too. Oh yeah, if you wanna be kissed, Well, you gotta kiss me, too. 'Cause I ain't for no one-sided love affair. Well, fair exchange bears no robbery, And the whole world will know that it's true. Understanding solves all problems, baby, That's why I'm telling you If you wanna be hugged, Well, you gotta hug me, too. Oh yeah, if you wanna be hugged, Well, you've gotta hug me, too. Yeah, 'cause I ain't for no one-sided love affair. If you know you can't take it, Baby, why try to give it? If you know you can't take it, Then baby, why try to give it? 'Cause I ain't for no one-sided love affair. Well, fair exchange bears no robbery, And the whole world will know that it's true. Understanding solves all problems, baby, That's why I'm telling you If you wanna be hugged, Well, you gotta hug me, too. Oh yeah, if you wanna be hugged, Baby, you gotta hug me, too. 'Cause I ain't for no one-sided love affair. 'Cause I ain't for no one-sided love affair. 'Cause I ain't for no one-sided love affair.

One of ways my N really hooked me was interacting with me via a music website similar to Twitter. www.blip.fm is like Twitter in that you can "blip" a song with a short comment attached. You can search on just about any song and you will get results that come from all over the internet, especially Youtube which includes music videos, etc.. I realized too late that N was essentially "multi -tasking" and blipping songs to his other girlfriends at the same time. There are so many songs now that are ruined for me forever because they trigger my sadness and stress. I thought the love songs were for me (he told me they were) but I've realized now they were for others at the same time! There's something about music that is really spell-binding and it really caused me to bond with him. But it has become just another painful reminder of the fraud everything was. Anyway, the reason I'm mentioning this is that a couple of months ago, after I had the "epiphany", I created an alter ego for myself to use to vent my frustration and blip songs that remind me of Narcissists and Narcissism. I haven't "blipped" many songs on there recently but I'm thinking of going through this thread and pulling out some good suggestions and blipping those. I'm not affiliated with that website in any way but for some reason it has been a bit cathartic to find songs and be able to attach comments. If anyone is interested you can find my blip stream at www.blip.fm/echolove (it's free, btw) My "photo" is a picture of one of those identical women from the Robert Palmer video "Addicted to Love". Just seemed appropriate given that Ns often view women as all the same.... ;-)

lOove this song...how very true :) Sara Bareilles- King of Anything Keep drinking coffee Stare me down across the table While I look outside So many things I’d say if only I were able But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by You’ve got opinions man We’re all entitled to But I never asked So let me thank you for your time And try not to waste any more of mine And get out of here fast I hate to break it to you babe, but I’m not drowning There’s no one here to save And who cares if you disagree You are not me Who made you king of anything? So you dare tell me who to be Who died, and made you king of anything? You sound so innocent All full of good intent Swear you know best But you expect me to jump up on board with you Ride off into your delusional sunset I’m not the one who’s lost With no direction, oh But you’ll never see You’re so busy making maps And putting your name on them in all caps You’ve got the talking down, just not the listening Chorus All my life I’ve tried to make everybody happy while I Just hurt and hide waiting for someone to tell me It’s my turn to decide Chorus Let me hold your crown, babe

Not sure if anyone has posted this one yet: I thought, I saw a man brought to life He was warm, he came around and he was dignified He showed me what it was to cry Well, you couldn't be that man I adored You don't seem to know Seem to care what your heart is for But I don't know him anymore There's nothing where he used to lie The conversation has run dry That's what's going on Nothing's fine, I'm torn I'm all out of faith This is how I feel I'm cold and I am shamed Lying naked on the floor Illusion never changed Into something real I'm wide awake and I can see The perfect sky is torn You're a little late, I'm already torn So I guess the fortune teller's right Should have seen just what was there And not some holy light It crawled beneath my veins And now I don't care, I had no luck I don't miss it all that much There's just so many things That I can touch, I'm torn I'm all out of faith This is how I feel I'm cold and I am shamed Lying naked on the floor Illusion never changed Into something real I'm wide awake and I can see The perfect sky is torn You're a little late, I'm already torn, torn There's nothing where he used to lie My inspiration has run dry That's what's going on Nothing's right, I'm torn I'm all out of faith This is how I feel I'm cold and I am shamed Lying naked on this floor Illusion never changed Into something real I'm wide awake and I can see The perfect sky is torn I'm all out of faith This is how I feel I'm cold and I'm ashamed Bound and broken on the floor You're a little late, I'm already torn, torn

Here is a great song by Jo Dee Medina.. this is how I feel now! Well you filled up my head with so many lies You've twisted my heart 'til something snapped inside I'd like to give it one more try But, my give a damn's busted You can crawl back home, say you were wrong Stand out in the yard and cry all night long Go ahead and water the lawn My give a damn's busted [Chorus:] I really wanna care I wanna feel something Let me dig a little deeper No, sorry, nothing You can say you've got issues You can say you're a victim It's all your parents' fault, I mean after all you didn't pick em Maybe somebody else has got time to listen My give a damn's busted Well your therapist says it was all a mistake A product of the Prozac and your codependent ways So who's your enabler these days My give a damn's busted [Chorus:] I really wanna care I wanna feel something Let me dig a little deeper No, still nothing It's a desperate situation No tellin what you'll do If I don't forgive you, you say your life is through Come on give me something I can use My give a damn's busted [Chorus:] Well, I really wanna care I wanna feel something Let me dig a little deeper No, man, sorry Just nothing, no You've really done it this time My give a damn's busted

These are really helpful to me. One to listen to when you just want to relax, and one to dance around your house and feel really good... Sara Groves - Painting Pictures of Egypt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUYAmVYnC-Y I don’t want to leave here I don’t want to stay It feels like pinching to me either way The places I long for the most Are the places where I’ve been They are calling after me like a long lost friend It’s not about losing faith It’s not about trust It’s all about comfortable When you move so much The place I was wasn’t perfect But I had found a way to live It wasn’t milk or honey But then neither is this CHORUS: I’ve been painting pictures of Egypt Leaving out what it lacked The future seems so hard And I want to go back But the places that used to fit me Cannot hold the things I"ve learned And those roads closed off to me While my back was turned The past is so tangible I know it by heart Familiar things are never easy to discard I was dying for some freedom But now I hesitate to go Caught between the promise And the things I know BRIDGE: If it comes too quick I may not recognize it Is that the reason behind all this time and sand? If it comes too quick I may not appreciate it Is that the reason behind all this time and sand? And September - Cry For You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pf1kcbFzWyI I never had to say goodbye You must have known I wouldn't stay While you were talking about our life You killed the beauty of today Forever and ever Life is now or never Forever never comes around You never heard me break your heart You didn't wake up when we died Since I was lonely from the start I think the end is mine to write Forever and ever Life is now or never Forever never comes around People love and let go Forever and ever Life is now or never Forever's gonna slow you down You'll never see me again So now who's gonna cry for you You'll never see me again No matter what you do You'll never see me again So now who's gonna cry for you You'll never see me again No matter what you do I never had to say goodbye You must have known I wouldn't stay While you were talking about our life You killed the beauty of today Forever and ever Life is now or never Forever never comes around People love and let go Forever and ever Life is now or never Forever's gonna slow you down You'll never see me again So now who's gonna cry for you You'll never see me again No matter what you do You'll never see me again So now who's gonna cry for you You'll never see me again No matter what you do Forever and ever Life is now or never Forever never comes around Forever and ever Life is now or never Forever's gonna slow you down You'll never see me again So now who's gonna cry for you You'll never see me again No matter what you do You'll never see me again So now who's gonna cry for you You'll never see me again No matter what you do Forever and ever Life is now or never Forever never comes around

I should've known by the way you passed me by There was something in your eyes and it wasn't right I should've walked, but I never had the chance Everything got out of hand, and I let it slide Now I only have myself to blame For falling for your stupid games I wish my life could be the way It was before I saw your face You stole my happy, you made me cry Took the lonely, and took me for a ride And I wanna undo it You had my heart, now I want it back I'm starting to see everything you lack Boy you blew it, you put me through it I wanna undo it Na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na na Now your photos don't have a picture frame And I never say your name, and I never will And all your things, well, I threw them in the trash And I'm not even sad Now you only have yourself to blame For playing all those stupid games You're always going to be the same Oh no, you'll never change You stole my happy, you made me cry Took the lonely, and took me for a ride And I wanna undo it You had my heart, now I want it back I'm starting to see everything you lack Boy you blew it, you put me through it I wanna undo it Na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na na You want my future, you can't have it I'm still trying to erase you from my past I need you gone so fast You stole my happy, you made me cry Took the lonely, and took me for a ride And I wanna undo it You had my heart, now I want it back I'm starting to see everything you lack Boy you blew it, you put me through it I wanna undo it You stole my happy, you made me cry Took the lonely, and took me for a ride Boy you blew it, you put me through it I wanna undo it

Lady GaGa's "I'm so happy I could die" sounds like it's from an N's/P's perspective. She sings about touching herself, and telling a woman "drink from the cup/I'll make your world bend" (crazy-making) It's all about the pursuit, longing... but no fulfillment. Even when she gets the girl, she isn't satisfied. Lady GaGa's "Bad Romance" and "Monster" are more applicable to "relationships" with Ns/Ps. There's a monster in my bed, He ate my heart, he ate my heart, then he ate my brain.-Monster I want your drama, I want your vertigo stick, I want your sickness, I want a bad,a bad romance.-Bad Romance Lady GaGa seems to have had "relationships" with Ns/Ps and her songs address that.

Listening to a lil' mix here @ work and this one is a great one to listen to when it's time to let go and move on! I believe it's originally by Patti Griffin and the Dixie Chicks have a great cover. And there ain't no talkin to this man He's been tryin to tell me so It took awhile to understand the beauty of just letting go Cause it would take an acrobat, I already tried all that I'm gonna let him fly

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_DIF91APXY Train "You Already Know" This bipolar love affair It just ain't where it's at for me anymore So don't let the door hit you when you leave You throw me in the fire just to save my life A pretty little liar When I call you out you'd rather put up a fight than just come clean Get on your way to making someone else feel low Then higher than they ever thought they could go You already know I'm giving you up, you're letting me down Stop pretending that you're gonna turn yourself around You already know, know, know You already know, know, know, know Don't ask me why you already know I was the shoulder you leaned on You made me feel like the next James Bond Double O seven oh hell, you were heaven to me But while you were saying what I wanted to hear You started breaking ground on a new frontier Always making love but never to me So get on your way to making someone else feel low Then higher than they ever thought they could go You already know I'm giving you up, you're letting me down Stop pretending that you're gonna turn yourself around You already know, know, know You already know, know, know, know Don't ask me why you already know You already know that I'm done waiting Going crazy hating myself for loving you At least the one side of you I thought I knew You already know You already know, know, know, know You already know, know, know, know Don't ask me why

I found this song when I started to realise the truth about my ex. The lyrics are fantastic as is the song. Its by Lucie Silvas and called "If it's not what you're made of." Just like I predicted, we're at the point of no return We can go backwards, and no corners have been turned I can't control it, if I sink or if I swim 'Cause I chose the waters that I'm in And it makes no difference who is right or wrong I deserve much more than this 'Cause there's only one thing I want [Chorus] If it's not what you're made of You're not what I'm looking for You were willing but unable to give me anymore There's no way, You're changing, Cause some things will just never be mine, You're not in love this time...but it's alright. I hear you talking, but your words don't mean a thing I doubt you ever put your heart into anything It's not much to ask for, to get back what I put in But I chose the waters that I'm in And it makes no difference who is right or wrong I deserve much more than this 'Cause there's only one thing I want [Chorus] If it's not what you're made of You're not what I'm looking for You were willing but unable to give me anymore There's no way, You're changing, Cause some things will just never be mine You're not in love this time...but it's alright. What's your definition of the one? What do you really want him to become? No matter what I sacrifice it's still never enough. Just like I predicted I will sink before I swim 'Cause these are the waters that I'm in [Chorus] If it's not what you're made of You're not what I'm looking for You were willing, but unable to give me anymore There's no way, You're changing, 'Cause some things will just never be mine You're not in love this time. Oh, if it's not what you're made of You're not what I'm looking for You were willing, but unable to give me anymore There's no way, You're changing, 'Cause some things will just never be mine You're not in love this time You're not in love this time You're not in love this time...

Love is everything they said it would be. Love made sweet and sad the same. But love forgot to make me too blind to see: You're chickening out, aren't you? You're banging on the beach like an old, tin drum. I can't wait till you make the whole kingdom come So I'm just leaving. -Jane Siberry Two nights ago, I asked him: "Are there any songs that remind you of me?" He said, "No." Just "No." So freaking bizarre

Have any of you heard it? I get chills listening to it

Weren't you the one that said, that you don't want me anymore. And how you need your space, and give the keys back to your door. And how I cried and tried and tried to make you stay with me. But still you said that love was gone, and that I had to leave. Now you, talkin bout a family Now you, sayin I complete your dream Now you, sayin I'm your everything You confusin me What you say to me Don't play with me Don't play with me. I remember when I was sittin home alone Waitin for you Til 3 o'clock in the morn And when you came home, you'd always have some sorry excuse. And explainin to me, like I'm just some kinda fool I sacrifice the things I want to and do things for you But when it's time to do for me, you never come through Now you, wanna be a bond of me (eyyy) Now you, have so much to say to me (heyy) Now you, wanna make time for me What you do to me. You confusin me Don't play with me Don't play with me. Cause what goes around, comes around. What goes up, must come down. Now who's cryin, desirin to come back to me What goes around, comes around. What goes up, must come down. Now who's cryin, desirin to come back I remember when I was sittin home alone Waitin for you Til 3 o'clock in the morn Night after night Knowin sumthing goin on Wasn't home before me You was, you was gone Lord knows it wasn't easy, believe me. Never thought you'd be the one that would deceived me. And never do wha u was supposed to do No need to hose me fool, cause I'm ova you Cause what goes around, comes around. What goes up, must come down. Now who's cryin, desirin to come back to me What goes around, comes around. What goes up, must come down. It's called Karma baby.

'Cause I'll be there in the back of your mind From the day we met till you were making me cry And it's just too bad you've already had the best days The best days of your life Ain't it a shame A shame that every time you hear my name Brought up in a casual conversation You can't think straight? And ain't it sad You can't forget about what we had Take a look at her and do you like what you see Or do you wish it was me? I'll be there in the back of your mind From the day we met to the very last night And it's just too bad you've already had the best days The best days of your life And does she know Know about the times you used to hold me Wrapped me in your arms and how you told me I'd be the only one? I heard about Yeah, someone told me once when you were out She went a little crazy, ran her mouth about me Ain't jealousy funny? 'Cause I'll be there in the back of your mind From the day we met to the very last night And it's just too bad you've already had the best days The best days of your Life with me was a fairytale love I was head over heels till you threw away us And it's just too bad you've already had the best days The best days of your life I heard you're gonna get married, have a nice little family Live out my dreams with someone new But I've been told that a cheater is always a cheater So I've got my pride and she's got you 'Cause I'll be there in the back of your mind From the day we met till you were making me cry And it's just too bad you've already had the best days The best days of your life Of your life, oh, oh yeah You're gonna think of me You're gonna think of me in your life Oh, oh yeah It's a shame, it's a shame It's a shame, it's a shame It's a shame, it's a shame

The song below by Green Day was incredibly empowering to me after I ended my relationship with Jake. I walk a lonely road The only one that I have ever known Don't know where it goes But it's home to me and I walk alone I walk this empty street On the Boulevard of broken dreams Where the city sleeps And I'm the only one and I walk alone I walk alone I walk alone I walk alone I walk a- My shadow's the only one that walks beside me My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating Sometimes I wish someone out there would find me 'Til then I walk alone Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah I'm walking down the line That divides me somewhere in my mind On the border line of the edge And where I walk alone Read between the lines of what's Fucked up and everything's all right Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive And I walk alone I walk alone I walk alone I walk alone I walk a- My shadow's the only one that walks beside me My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating Sometimes I wish someone out there would find me 'Til then I'll walk alone.... Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah I walk alone I walk a- I walk this empty street On the Boulevard of broken dreams Where the city sleeps And I'm the only one and I walk a.. My shadows the only one that walks beside me My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating Sometimes I wish someone out there would find me 'Til then I'll walk alone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWNRUVMboq4
