tune of the month - black crowes

I find it hard to shed a tear
You brought it on yourself my dear
Wrong, yes I may be
Dont leave a light on for me
cause I aint comin
home
It hurts me baby to be alone
Yes, it hurts me baby

A hundred years will never ease
Hearing things I wont believe
I saw it with my own two eyes
All the
pain
I cant hide
And this
pain
starts in my heart
And this love tears us apart
You wont find me down on my knees
Aint bendin over backwards baby
Not to please

cause Im seeing things for the first time
In my life, in my life

I used to dream
Of better days that never came
Sorry aint nothin to me
Im gone and thats the way it must be
So please Ive done my time
Lovin you is such a crime
You wont find me down on, on my knees
Wont find me over backwards baby
Just to please

cause Im seeing things for the first time
In my life, in my life


I'll be seeing Black Crowes for the first time this weekend. I wanted to post this song cuz it's one of my favorites. It so succinctly says what I would have liked to say to my husband when I realized that our marriage was over.

Interestingly enough it reminds me that I loved him at one point (something I have a hard time remembering). I felt such pain because I cared and I really wanted it to work. But the days and nights of loneliness eventually led to numbness and I felt less and less after that. Until there was nothing. I was so fed up and tired of waiting for things to change. It felt good to finally let go and honor myself.
