I had a dream about a burning house You were stuck inside, I couldn't get you out I laid beside you and pulled you close And the two of us went up in smoke
Love isn't all that it seems I did you wrong I'll stay here with you until this dream is gone
I've been sleepwalking, been wandering all night Trying to take what's lost and broke and make it right I've been sleepwalking too close to the fire But it's the only place that I can hold you tight In this burning house
See you at a party and you look the same I could take you back but people don't ever change Wish that we could go back in time I'd be the one you thought you'd find
Love isn't all that it seems I did you wrong I'll stay here with you until this dream is gone
I've been sleepwalking, been wandering all night Trying to take what's lost and broke and make it right I've been sleepwalking too close to the fire But it's the only place that I can hold you tight In this burning house
The flames are getting bigger now In this burning house I can hold on to you somehow In this burning house Oh, and I don't wanna wake up In this burning house
And I've been sleepwalking, been wandering all night Trying to take what's lost and broke and make it right I've been sleepwalking too close to the fire But it's the only place that I can hold you tight In this burning house

Here is one about infidelity, interdependence, the severe trauma felt by the LBS.
"Stop!"
By Sam Brown
All that I have is all that you've given me Did you ever worry that I'd come to depend on you I gave you all the love I had in me Now I find you've lied and I can't believe it's true
Wrapped in her arms I see you across the street And I can't help but wonder if she knows what's going on You talk of love but you don't know how it feels When you realise that you're not the only one
Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart You'd better stop before you go and break my heart Ooh you'd better stop
Time after time I've tried to walk away But it's not that easy when your soul is torn in two So I just resign myself to it every day Now all I can do is to leave it up to you
Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart You'd better stop before you go and break my heart Ooh you'd better stop
Stop if love me (you will remember) Now's the time to be sorry (that day forever) I won't believe that you'd walk out on me
Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart You'd better stop before you go and break my heart Ooh you'd better stop
Gwen Stefani herself was a victim of infidelity. She is working through her pain and trying to rise above it through her craft. The song is OK, but it's the lyrics that resonate with me.
"Used To Love You"
Never thought this would happen Gonna let it sink in, you're gone I don't know, know what I'm feeling I must be dreaming, you're gone
Suitcase, band-aids Pulling back out the driveway You go, I'll stay You can keep all the memories I thought I was the best thing that ever happened to you I thought you loved me the most
I don't know why I cry But I think it's cause I remembered for the first time Since I hated you That I used to love you I don't know why I cry But I think it's cause I remembered for the first time Since I hated you That I used to love you
Oh oh oh oh I used to love you Oh oh oh oh I used to love you
You thought There were no boundaries What, you just pushed me too far I guess nobody taught you Nobody taught you how to love
Suitcase, band-aids Pulling back out the driveway You go, I'll stay You can keep all the memories I thought I was the best thing that ever happened to you I thought you loved me the most
I don't know why I cry But I think it's cause I remembered for the first time Since I hated you That I used to love you I don't know why I cry But I think it's cause I remembered for the first time Since I hated you That I used to love you
Oh oh oh oh I used to love you Oh oh oh oh I used to love you
You know I was the best thing that ever happened to you Well, now look at what you lost, oh You know I was the best thing that ever happened to you Now look at what you lost, oh
I don't know why I cry But I think it's cause I remembered for the first time Since I hated you That I used to love you I don't know why I cry But I think it's cause I remembered for the first time Since I hated you That I used to love you
This one was sent to me today by a good friend of mine who's familiar with what I'm going through.. (sorry can't past the link due to forum rules but do a search for it)

A great Canadian song by a great Canadian Songwriter. "Lovers In A Dangerous Time", by Bruce Cockburn. The song was also covered by the Barenaked Ladies, but I like the original. I must have listened to it 10 times today. It felt good with the sun shining on me - even though it is 40F outside. I will let the lyrics speak for themselves, but I highlighted the lines that I find particularly inspirational as I go through my tribulations.
DBers! Let's not waste our lives! Make every day meaningful. Make every day matter.
Lovers In A Dangerous Time
Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by You never get to stop and open your eyes One day you're waiting for the sky to fall The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all
When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time
These fragile bodies of touch and taste This vibrant skin -- this hair like lace Spirits open to the thrust of grace Never a breath you can afford to waste
When you're lovers in a dangerous time When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime -- But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight -- Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight
When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time And we're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time
More of a funny one... Son and I listened to the Blues Brothers soundtrack on the drive here and we both laughed when "It's Cheaper to Keep Her" came on.

I try to listen to all the song suggestions posted here even though I am quite busy. I am always looking for new songs that resonate with me in my sitch. I was not going to respond right now (at work), but I can't stop smiling since listening to Ceelo Green's "F**k you". I would like to dedicate it to my WW's loser OM. What a grand song!!!! Thanks so much Cherry. I can't stop grinning. Really. Interestingly, the sanitized "forget you" version just doesn't do it.
You may like Futuristic & Devvon Terrell's cover of Bieber's "Love Yourself".
Remember, these songs are just in jest. Although I am trying to shed my anger and resentment towards my WW, it sometimes helps to let go and laugh a bit.
