Another stark contrast with yesterday's post, this is one of the most heart-wrenching breakup songs I've ever heard. You know, a lot of people like certain songs because they feel it applies to them personally or some situation there in. The best songs deal with universal truths and experiences, and this is no exception. Who hasn't had their heart broken? Who hasn't had trouble letting go? How many times have you wanted to tell someone that you've changed, that things would be different this time?

The last line repeats four times, and it just kills me a little bit with each one: "You tell me that you love me, but you never want to see me again."

I think it's getting a little dusty in here.
