Using Songs To Say What You Can't

Sometimes songs just have the right lyrics that just emulate how you feel, and I guess that's how the whole mixed tape thing came about. There are times when I do wish it's that easy as to send someone a song and get them to listen to it, to understand how I feel, to know what I want to say but just can't. Just like how sometimes the following song lyrics just play over and over again when I think of the ones in my life:

"I can be tough, I can be strong
But with you, it's not like that at all
There's a girl that gives a shit
Behind this wall you just walk through it
And I remember
All those crazy things you said
You left them running through my head
You're always there, you're everywhere
Right now I wish you were here"

"I like the way you misbehave
When we get wasted
But that's not why I love you
And how you keep your cool
When I am complicated
But that's not why I love you"

"You're so beautiful
But that's not why I love you
And I'm not sure you know
That the reason I love you is you
Being you
Just you
Yeah the reason I love you 
is all that we've been through
And that's why I love you"

"When a girl asks a guy to listen to a song, it’s because the lyrics are all the words she’s afraid to say."

Well, other than being afraid, the other time would be when I'm too pissed off to say a thing without having tears running down my cheeks.


"Been seein' to much of you lately
And you're starting to get on my nerves
This is exactly what happened last time
And it's not what we deserve
It's a a waste of my time lately
And I'm running out of words
If it's really meant to be
Then you can find a way to see
Maybe you should just shut up"

"When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
And when you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
And when you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through
The day and make it ok
I miss you"


Now I wonder if someone might just try to get me to listen to a song for something they can't express through their own mouth.
