My Song
My friend Jimmy sent me this song and said “this song is you.”
I listened to it.. and all i could do is cry.
This song describes exactly how i feel at the moment..
every word is words that i’ve though.
i thought you might like to read the lyrics….
to get a better idea of how i feel..
Not The Way (You At Me)- Justin Taylor
The house is lit the same it was today
Clothes all fit and flung around the same old way
Funny how the heart can change the way you see
But it’s not the way you’re looking back at me.
Greeting others makes you smile more that me
Hearing others call you brings more joy than me
Other lovers seem to gaze so magically
But it’s not the way you’re looking back at me.
Chorus
You ask to leave me sometimes
I somehow make you stay
I do not love myself enough to think that i should be loved the same way, but
I’m just glad you’ll have me
I’ll love you carefully
Maybe theres a chance you’ll still love me
But it’s not the way you’re looking back at me.
Strange conditions make me tolerable
Telling me you can’t be certain makes me ill
Telling you we have no future makes you stay with me
You say your doubt was only temporary
But it’s not the way you’re looking back at me
Chorus
You ask to leave me sometimes
I somehow make you stay
I do not love myself enough to think that i should be loved the same way, but
I’m just glad you’ll have me
I’ll love you carefully
Maybe theres a chance you’ll still love me
But it’s not the way you’re looking back at me.
To let you leave me
Sounds more ethical
I’d rather you less-love me
Than not have you at all.
And i’m just glad you’ll have me
I’ll love you carefully
Maybe there’s a chance you’ll still love me
But it’s not the way you’re looking back
But it’s not the way you’re looking back
But it’s not the way you’re looking back… at me.

The lines im most feeling are:
“I do not love myself enough to think i should be loved the same way”
and
“To let you leave me
Would be more ethical
I’d rather you less-love me
Than not have you at all”

hope it’s not too long before you find someone who makes you feel better about yourself beth, from someone who has been there before…it’s just not worth it, coz they will leave in the end anyway. Look after yourself first, find someone who is there for you
