The greatest thing ever, is when you can honestly say you are better. And you aren't lying. Cause you are alone. And there is no one to tell it to but yourself. Corrinne Bailey Rae has a beautiful voice. She really does. And I am so glad I can listen to this song and hear that sweet voice crooning at me and enjoy it.
This song used to KILL me! I used to listen to it and cry like a baby. Because, come on, REALLY listen to it, the lyrics are killer. It is a great song. And if you are heartbroken and sad and missing someone deep down in your soul it is gonna tug on your heartstrings and make you sad. But I can hear it now and my eyes don't water up and my heart doesn't go thud thud *cry* thud thud *crawl in a corner hold myself and rock back and forth*
Every time I would purposely listen to these songs that used to make me so sad, I realize I was holding on to something that didn't even exist because it was something that I had idealized and created in my mind. And once I let go of all of that, I was able to let go of the pain. And in doing this I realized the pain and heartbreak and all the other crap, it didn't even exist as much as I thought it did. I was just scared mostly, of the unknown. Of moving on to something new, because something new is me jumping into the world alone and standing on my own two feet, but hey, I have some cute shoes, so at least when I am standing there on my own two feet I will look good, right? So, I can do it. And I am not really alone at all. I actually have way more love in my life now than I ever did when I was "in love." Perspective is a powerful thing.
