Maybe one day you'll see what you did to me,
But until then, I need you to know you make me sick!

I know that you think that you're changing,
I know that you think you're perfect.
But your yesterday is a joke
And everyone's heard it all before!

You'll never give me what I know I deserve,
The same as all of the rest but with half the nerve!

I should have known,
(I should have known!)
I should have seen
How much was wrong.
You're a mistake.
You're a mistake, a disease on my soul!

I can't believe I thought I had you figured out.
I should have known,
I should have seen how much was wrong.
I should have known,
I should have seen that you were broken.
You were broken from the start.

I gave you all of of me.
Put you first in line, such a waste of time.
I was always yours, you were never mine.
How could you leave me standing outside?

You're such a sick, sad waste of a human being!
I hope you're happy, go paint that smile
Right back on your face, you're so fake.
I'm so tired of all the generic excuses,
So this, this is where I draw the line.
With every "I love you" you left me more empty.
And now it is so obvious

You were broken,
You were broken from the start.
I should have known,
I should have seen how much was wrong!

I gave you all of of me.
Put you first in line, such a waste of time.
I was always yours, you were never mine.
How could you leave me standing outside?

When you hear these words
And wonder if they're about you,
Don't call and complain.
You know there's truth
In every word that I say!

You're such a sick, sad waste of a human being.
You're such a sick, sad waste of a human being!

I gave you all of of me.
Put you first in line, such a waste of time.
I was always yours, you were never mine.
How could you leave me standing outside?

I gave you all of me,
Such a waste of time.
This is where I draw the line,
This is where I draw the line!

    I agree with kneight. A amazing song and after a messy breakup this song helps release some of the anger.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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/
