Cover art for Cannonball lyrics by Brandi Carlile

this song pulls at my heart and reminds me of a horrible break up or loosing some one or some thing important. like the line says: "but behold,when you fold its the same old cannonball coming back for your heart again" you can fall out of love but man when it finds you,man,it hurts so much to loos it all again. you fall for that cannonball every time. however this line reminds me of horrible heartache I was born when I met you now i'm dying to forget you.
