Hi, I've seen postings before about good songs that apply to our unfortunate situations, or songs that make you feel better. I just saw a music video by a song called Stay by Sugarland. Has anyone heard or seen this?
My H was not in the room at the time. I'm so glad. It's quite a song and a wonderful moving performance. It was hard for me not to cry - especially at the end when she was crying.
At first I thought this was not a good song for DBers, until she got to the end...
Warning - it is not a feel good song but it hit home.
The lyrics:
I've been sittin' here stairin' at the clock on the wall And I've been layin' here prayin' Prayin' she won't call It's just another call from home and you'll get it and be gone and I'll be cryin'
And I'll be beggin' you baby Beg you not to leave But I'll be left here waitin' My Heart on my sleeve Oh for the next time we'll be here seems like a million years and I think I'm dyin'
What do I have to do to make you see She can't love you like me
Why don't you stay I'm down on my knees I'm so tired of bein' lonely Don't I give you what you need When she calls you to go There is one thing you should know We don't have to live this way Baby, why don't you stay
You keep tellin' me baby There will come a time When you will leave her arms And forever be in mine But I don't think that's the truth And I don't like bein' used and I'm tired of waitin'
It's too much pain to have to bare To love a man you have to share
Why don't you stay I'm down on my knees I'm so tired of bein' lonely Don't I give you what you need When she calls you to go There is one thing you should know We don't have to live this way Baby, why don't you stay
I can't take it any longer but my will is gettin' stronger And I think I know just what I have to do I can't waste another minute After all that I've put in it I've given you my best Why does she get the best of you
So next time you find you wanna leave her bed for mine
Why don't you stay I'm up off my knees I'm so tired of bein' lonely You can't give me what I need When she begs you not to go There is one thing you should know I don't have to live this way
If it gets to you DON'T WATCH THE VIDEO. I just watched it again and now I am crying.
But as sad as it is, it is inspiring at the end. I know we all keep those last words in mind ... we don't have to live like this. But we do out of pure determination and resolve and love. So, even though this song may be a downer, it's having a good effect on me.
And now another appropriate song for DBers, Sarah Evans acting "As If". Even though this song is not about infidelity, there is someone who has been through this, too.
ok Joie, this is true a good song that relates and youcan relate to but... ya have to lissen to an upbeat song after that way out end on a posative note..

Yes, Carrie's is a good vindictive song! And yes, you have to listen to something upbeat after this one by Sugarland. I did -- I didn't want that song hanging over me all day.

I just watched the Sugarland song. Thanks for putting it on. I had always turned off the song when it would come on the radio, so I'd never heard the end. Not as bad of a song as I thought.
Have a great weekend.
