Hearts breaking even (nbj)
 
I have a need to share this with you guys. I just broke up with my fiancee last night, after 7.5 years together. :cry: We came to a "mutual agreement", which makes things a bit easier, but it still is very hard for me to cope with. It's all still so new, I don't think I quite understand it yet myself.

I am lucky to have good friends to help me get by (here on JT, you know who you people are - a huge THANK YOU to you!!!).

As far as my feelings are concerned, someone has written it all down for me, so I'll just quote here.

It's been a cold, cold, cold, cold night tonight
And I can't get you off my mind
God knows I've tried
Did I throw away the best part of my life
When I cut you off, did I cut myself with the same damn knife
Hide my tears in the pouring rain, had my share of hurt and pain
Don't say my name, run away, cause it's all in vain

My hearts breaking even, now there's no use we even try
Hey I cried, Yeah I lied, hell I almost died
Don't got a reason, let's just fold the cards and say good-bye
It's all right, just two hearts breaking even tonight

It's been a long, long, long time
Since I've had your love here in my hands
We didn't understand it, we couldn't understand it
But, nothing's fair in love and hate
You lay it all down and walk away, before it's too late
We danced all night as the music played
The sheets got tangled in the mess we made
There in the stains, we remain,
No one left to blame

Go on, get on with your life, Yeah - I'll get on with mine
Broken hearts can't call the cops, yeah it's the perfect crime
Twisting and turning the night keeps me yearning
I'm burning alive
I'm paying the price again
But I'll see the light again


I probably don't make any sense here, but thanks for listening! :)

I'm so sorry Laura ... but unfortunely there's nothing to do ...
Just think soon you are going to live something very special, with Taija and other friends, you're not alone, when you're feeling blue, please, don't stay alone ! Ok ??

Taija 03-31-2003 10:20 AM

I've never thought this song this way before. I guess I haven't really tried to understand what it's about. But reading it now, it seems so perfect for this situation. I just feel so sad for you Laura, I couldn't even sleep last night because it almost feels like this was happening to me. And I know exactly how you feel (that has happened to me too, after 5 years). :cry:

I just wanted to say that you're the best friend I've ever had and I'll do anything you need from me, you've done that to me and now it's my turn to be there for you when you need it.

Like someone already told you:

But if I got a call in the dead of the night
I'd be right by your side

I'm really sorry to hear that Laura. I can't speak from personal experience, but 7.5 years is a substantial length of time.

All the best, ok?

Chris.

Woah. Been there, done that. It's not fun or easy... And it's gonna take a while, better not rush it. Everybody needs their time, so just hang in there.

This is the part you should concentrate on now. There's always light at the end of the tunnel...

Awww Laura, I'm SOOOOO sorry to hear this. :cry: :cry: :cry: {{{HuGz}}} to you hon, hang in there!

Even though it's not much comfort to you, believe me, I know exactly how you feel... I broke up with my now ex just before Christmas 2000 after being together for 7,5 years...and, well, I have only recently started to feel like being ready for a new relationship. Well, would be ready in case I'd ever bump into a nice guy again... :? Anyway, even though I have gradually got over the break-up, there's still lots of music -- not Bon Jovi music tho, thank goodness, but some Finnish stuff like Yö, Eput, Pelle Miljoona, Juliet Jonesin Sydän and Miljoonasade -- that I can't listen to without getting a bit teary-eyed and feeling this bittersweet sadness in my heart.

When you've shared your life with someone for so long, when you've built your life around a relationship and your common past as well as a common future, letting go of all that is the hardest thing you've ever had to do. No matter how much of a mutual decision it might have been. I guess the following lyrics summed up my feelings back then quite well...

It ain't no fun lying down to sleep
And there ain't no secrets left for me to keep
I wish the stars up in the sky
Would all just call in sick
And the clouds would take the moon out
On some one-way trip

I drove all night down streets that wouldn't bend
But somehow they drove me back here once again
To the place I lost at love, and the place I lost my soul
I wish I'd just burn down this place that we called home
It would all have been so easy
If you'd only made me cry
And told me how you're leaving me
To some organ grinder's lullaby

It's hard, so hard - it's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go

Now the sky, it shines a different kind of blue
And the neighbor's dog don't bark like he used to
Well - me, these days
I just miss you - it's the nights that I go insane
Unless you're coming back for me
That's one thing I know that won't change

It's hard, so hard - it's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go

Now some tarot card shark said I'll draw you a heart
And we'll find you somebody else new
But I've made my last trip to those carnival lips
When I bet all that I had on you

It's hard, it's hard, it's hard, so hard
It's hard letting you go
It's hard, so hard, it's tearing out my heart
But it's hard letting you go


Hang in there Laura, we're here for you. I know it makes you sad now... But one day you'll wake up in the morning and notice that it doesn't hurt so much anymore.

Jaguar 03-31-2003 07:49 PM

*Hugs you* I know I don't know you too well, but I couldn't help wanting to give you my sympathy's. Don't let it get you down to far.
