Well I got another one, its something about being used… actually I think it’s called “Used,” I just can’t think of an artist name. Yeah, I was used. Love is STUPID! ---

“Could’ve been” by Mandy Moore pretty much sums it up… “Could’ve been so beautiful, could’ve been so right. Could’ve been my lover every day of my life…But I’ll never know what could have been, on a cold and lonely night.” Or something like that. ---

**"When I’m Sixty-Four"** , by the Beatles. Corny, but applicable to the boyfriend and me. (It’s also one of the few Beatles songs I like.) ---

Gershwin - “But Not for Me” They’re writing songs of love - but not for me … Although I can’t dismiss The memory of her kiss I guess she’s not - she’s not for me and the Violent Femmes “Why Can’t I Get Just One…” ::: sigh ::: daere ---

“Goin’ thru Big D, don’t mean Dallas; I got the keys, she got the palace” [sorry, I don’t know the artist] Also, several by the Police: “The bed’s too big without you,” “I can’t stand losing you,” “So lonely, so lonely, I feel so low. I feel low, low, low, I feel low, so lonely . . . .without you.” Also the Police is apropos for the new girlfriend: "Every little thing she does is magic, every thing she do just turns me on, even though my life before was tragic, now I know my love for her goes on . .

“Maria” sung by Willie Nelson and Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20. That’s my favorite part to rewind my life on. No, I’m not a country music fan, but I urge EVERYONE to download this song and give it a listen, or check out the Great Divide CD. It’s very good and I’m surprised that it doesn’t get more airplay. ---
