When it's bad, it's bad

Good afternoon y'all. I hope you've enjoyed the first 2 days of my 30 day song challenge. Once again, I posted on the weekend. I just can't get used to the "real world" weekend. My weekend is Monday & Tuesday....boooooo. I shouldn't complain, it pays the bills! If you missed my last 2 posts, feel free to catch up! ;)

Where do you go when your heart is broken & you don't feel whole? I, for one, as so many of us do, turned to another person. My "person" was another boyfriend. I didn't feel the need to be picky about my selection either. I had a void to fill & anyone would do. I spent almost 4 years with the new beau. Our relationship consisted of cheating, lying, & ridicule. So why did I stay for 4 years? Well, I had no feeling of self worth & I thought I loved him. By the time our relationship ended, I was sure I had nothing left to give. I was damaged goods. Sometimes when it's bad, it's bad & I vowed I wouldn't sell myself so short the next time around.......

Today is day 3 of my challenge. Once again I didn't pick a song from the "rules". I just must be a rebel. LOL!!! I guess what I'm really saying is, if you know the rules, don't shoot me for breaking them. I chose this song because I played this over & over during this split. The words were me at that time in my life.......

Lyrics:

If I fall along the way
pick me up & dust me off
& if I get too tired to make it
be my breath so I can walk

If I need some other love
give more than I can stand
& when my smile gets old & faded
wait around I'll smile again

Shouldn't be so complicated
just hold me & then
just hold me again

Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
get put back together

You're breaking me in
& this is how we will end
with you & me bent

If I couldn't sleep could you sleep
could you paint me better off
could you sympathize with my needs
I know you think I need a lot

I started out clean but I'm jaded
just phoning it in
just breaking the skin

Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
get put back together

You're breaking me in
& this is how we will end
with you & me bent

Start bending me
keep bending me till I'm completely broken in

Shouldn't be so complicated
just touch me & then
just touch me again

Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
get put back together

You're breaking me in
& this is how we will end
with you & me bent

Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
get put back together

You're breaking me in
& this is how we will end
with you & me bent
