I will sigh, at the way, you hold my hand and,
I will play along, like we're together,
You will have a best friend, and won't be lonely,
I will break when I bend, to be together, and...

I will wait, for the fake, affections that you'll,
Give me when we're alone and,
You will say, that we're made, to be together,
But with a smile you know that,
We were made to grow apart.

I am left, with a day, to be thinking,
Of the words you say,
When I feel alone, I am left, with the pain, of awaking,
In an empty room,
I need someone so...

I will wait, for the fake, affections that you'll,
Give me when we're alone and,
You will say that we're made, to be together,
But with a smile you know that,
We were made ot grow alone.

I'll obey, what you say, but I'm lonely,
With my thoughts, I will pray, I'm longing,
Hold my heart, if it breaks, cause I'm breaking, now,
Could I believe that God still loves me, now, oh and now...

    Well I was searching for depressing lyrics just because that's what kind of mood I was in, I went to google typed it in and remember august popped up, well THIS site popped up. The reason I was in such a poopy mood was due to stupid male problems....gotta love em, love to hate em. Well we have this friends with benefits thing going on and that’s EXACTLY how this song came across, I found it quite ironic. In public we're strictly friends.....I mean I playfully smacked him in the head...and he hit me back. I have the reputation as 'one of the guys' yippy for me. Then in private it's all behind closed doors. Give me a break, well I grabbed these lyrics shoved them in my profile BWAHAHAHA eat that Justin haha I found my new favorite song :)

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
