We're sinking, and I'm thinking, "How the hell did we get so stupid?"

So you know how during every break up people find 'that song'.... the one they play over and over to dull the pain, exaggerate the pain, move on, or even seek revenge? Well I think I found mine.

I do have a really funny memory of a 'breakup song' from a few years ago. My good friend Chris had been going through a really hard breakup.... so I thought I'd head over to his house to bring him lunch and check on him. There I am, knocking on his front door.... his car is there, I hear music coming from somewhere..... so where is he??? I finally give up knocking and go try the side gate, which lucky for me, was open. So I walk into the back yard, and what do I find but big tough Chris, crying, with the BBQ grill on full force. He was blasting that song by Eminem, "Cleaning out my Closet" and throwing every memory of the two of them together into the grill while singing on the top of his lungs. It was quite a sight.... big buff Chris, reduced to tears, throwing teddy bears and lingerie into a fire. I think it's therapeutic!


I've had my share of "breakup songs," the least original being "The Breakup Song" by American Hi-Fi. Who hasn't jammed out to that one, while thinking of an ex? My last breakup song is a result of a mix CD a friend made for me a few months ago. I hate sad love songs, yet Im compelled to learn the lyrics and belt them out in my car at the top of my lungs!

Say you're sorry, that face of an angel
Comes out just when you need it to
As I paced back and forth all this time
Cause I honestly believed in you

Holding on, the days drag on
Stupid girl, I should have known
I should have known

I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell

This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to come around

Baby I was naive, got lost in your eyes
And never really had a chance
I had so many dreams about you and me
Happy endings, now I know

I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell

This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to come around

And there you are on your knees
Begging for forgiveness, begging for me
Just like I always wanted but I'm so sorry

Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale
I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well
This is a big world, that was a small town
There in my rearview mirror disappearing now

And its too late for you and your white horse
Now its too late for you and your white horse, to catch me now

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Try and catch me now
Oh, it's too late to catch me now
