Memories On A Shelf

I am completely addicted to music. I love singing, and I love the way music can affect someone. Okay, for the most part because yes, music can either make or break you. I've been listening to a couple of songs the past few days... The same ones, over and over again. And they all seem to be saying the same thing.

First song: The Story of Us by: Taylor Swift
Just a couple of the lyrics always stick out to me.

"Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know, is it killing you
Like it's killing me
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now."

"This is looking like a contest
Of who can act like they care less
But I liked it better when you were on my side."

Second Song: Need You Now by: Lady Antebellum

"And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time."

Third Song: Stayin' Worse Than Leaving by: Sunny Sweeney

"God knows we tried everything that we could do
You can keep your pride and blame me if you need to
Even though this freedom feels a lot like treason,
I know staying's worse than leaving."

Fourth Song: Get It Right by: Rachel Berry (Glee)

"So I throw up my fist, throw a punch in the air
And accept the truth that sometimes life isn't fair
Yeah I sent out wish
Yeah I sent up a prayer
Then finally someone will see how much I care."

Sometimes it is so hard to control your thoughts. Mine always wander back to those who are most important to me. I wonder if they care about me as much as I care about them. And most of the time, it's no. And it really is "this freedom feels a lot like treason." Sometimes it just isn't fair to be so passionate about something and it's always one-sided.

Ever feel like you give 150% in a relationship (any kind of relationship) and only get 10% back? Yeah, it makes you want to stop trying.
