Lyrics
On the way home from work last night I heard an old Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers song come on the radio. Somehow last night, after all these years of listening to it (yes, my age is showing), these lyrics had new meaning:
"Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some
Tell me why you want to lay there, revel in your abandon
Honey, it don't make no difference to me baby
Everybody has to fight to be free, you see
[Chorus:]
You don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
No baby you don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)"
It really spoke to me and my co-dependency issues. I must admit, I cranked that sucker and sang along as loud as I could!!! Thought I'd share! Good morning everyone!

I love this! I like to think that I use music as my main form of therapy. It has helped me through this process immensely. I think I have a song for every feeling I've experienced during this roller coaster over the last couple of years. Feel free to hit me up if you ever need any suggestions for any feeling you may be having I'll be sure to be adding this to a playlist of mine. Thanks!
This is great full blast, too!!!!!
Play the "The Band Perry" Quiz
"DONE."
You've been wearing that crown and tearing me down
It's been a while since you've treated me right
You strung me along for far too long cause I never gave up the fight
Until now
It's gonna hit you hard 'til you see stars
It’s gonna put you through a world of hurt
Oh, I don't believe in getting even but giving what you deserve
Oh my, oh my, huh.
Mama always told me that I should play nice
She didn't know you when she gave me that advice
I'm through with you
You're one bridge I'd like to burn
Bottle up the ashes, smash the urn
I'm through with you, la dee da
I don't wanna be your "just for fun",
Don't wanna be under your thumb
All I wanna be is done
Done
You crossed the line too many times,
I'm gonna put you in your place
You play with dynamite, don't be surprised
When I blow up in your face
Oh my, oh my, huh.
Mama always told me that I should play nice
But she didn't know you when she gave me that advice
I'm through with you
You're one bridge I'd like to burn
Bottle up the ashes, smash the urn
I'm through with you, la dee da
I don't wanna be part of your fun,
Don't wanna be under your thumb
All I wanna be is done
(Done) with your selfish ways
(Done) and all the games you play
I'm through with you and everything you say
Ta!
Mama told me that I should play nice
She didn't know you when she gave me that advice
Mama always told me that I should play nice
But she didn't know you when she gave me that advice
I'm through with you
You're one bridge I'd like to burn
Scatter the ashes, smash the urn
I'm through with you, la dee da
I don't wanna be your "just for fun",
Don't wanna be under your thumb
All I wanna be is done
All I wanna be is done
Ugh!
Hey, hey, hey , hey ooh,
I wanna be done (so done)
So done (so done)
So done

I apologize; I just realized that this is the Friends & Families of Substance Abusers Forum. I was referring to alcohol, etc. in my above posts - not the people you love. I have great compassion for your struggles. I am very sorry.
