Just break the goddamned thing already

I’ve seen it in my lifetime.  Sometimes you can’t help that things happen. We can argue that we are only human and that we make mistakes. But what makes you truly human is what you do after you’ve realized this. Do you continue to keep hurting someone just because you want to find your happiness? Don’t be selfish. You’re not the only one who deserves happiness. No matter how much you don’t want to hurt the other person, you already have. The least you could do is be decent to them. They deserve at least that for all their efforts. Prolonging the inevitable will not only lead to deeper gashes, but perhaps permanent scarring. Don’t be someone who’s made someone fear love or incessantly question their self-worth. Ending it is the last act of kindness you could possibly show. Deserving something better means letting go of one that’s no good. So, let go. Let go of the one you’ve hurt and vow to be better. Let go of the one who’s hurt you and try to patch yourself up. .. and then cross your fingers and hope to God that whole thing didn’t fuck you up for life.

LEAVE THE PIECES
The Wreckers

You’re not sure that you love me
But you’re not sure enough to let me go
Baby it ain’t fair you know
To just keep me hangin’ ’round

You say you don’t wanna hurt me
Don’t want to see my tears
So why are you still standing here
Just watching me drown

[Chorus]
And it’s alright, yeah I’ll be fine
Don’t worry ’bout this heart of mine
Just take your love and hit the road
There’s nothing you can do or say
You’re gonna break my heart anyway
So just leave the pieces when you go

You can drag out the heartache
Baby you can make it quick
Really get it over with
And just let me move on

Don’t concern yourself
With this mess you’ve left for me
I can clean it up, you see
Just as long as you’re gone

[Chorus]

You not making up your mind
Is killing me and wasting time
I need so much more than that
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

Leave the pieces when you go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Leave the pieces when you go

For those that leave, walk away, and give up.

For those that plan on breaking hearts, throwing away years, and looking elsewhere.

For those that struggle to find closure, just can’t make themselves do it, or faint of heart.

Do it now. If nothing, give them a chance to take back what used to be theirs.

Make the wounds. If nothing, leave them with more time to heal.

Spill the blood. If nothing, set them free.

Cigarettes

by The Wreckers

Got my headlights shinin
down an old dirt road
Smoke my cigarettes
I should quit, I know

Radios playin
Old country songs
Someones savin, someones cheatin
On, on, and on

Think I might like
the quiet nights
of this empty life

(Chorus:)
Someday maybe sombody will love me like I need
Someday I won’t have to prove to somebody who’ll see all my worth
But until then I’ll do just fine on my own
With my cigarettes and this old dirt road

See I left another
good man tonight
I wonder if he’ll miss me
lord knows I tried

But I think that maybe
the thing that I did wrong
Was put up with his bullshit
for far too long

Think I might like
the quiet nights
of this empty life

(Chorus)

I ain’t gonna sleep
I don’t wanna dream
about the things that I use to need
I ain’t gonna cry
Or go on livin lies
I’m just gonna drive

(Chorus)

‘Cause someday maybe somebody will love me
Someday I won’t have to prove
All my worth
But until then I’ll do just fine on my own
with my cigarettes
Oh oh

(Chorus)
