HAte me - Blue October

I have to block out thoughts of you so I don’t lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I’m alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you. Will you never call again?
And will you never say that you love me just to put it in my face?
And will you never try to reach me?
It is I that wanted space

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you

I’m sober now for 3 whole months it’s one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won’t touch again
In a sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
So I’ll drive so ******* far away that I never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you

And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made
And like a baby boy I never was a man
Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand
And then I fell down yelling “Make it go away!”
Just make a smile come back and shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered “How can you do this to me?”

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you
For you
For you
For you

when I listen to metallica ( yea I pulled the ole stuff out last weekend) "Nothing Else Matters" gets me....my sobriety, nothing else matters..

How do you upload songs from utube?
 

I can't figure it out.

after you get on the tube, bring up your song
just do a right click on the address..
select copy, then just paste it...like this :)

Stone Temple Pilots - Big Empty

When I'm REALLY feeling low, My Empire of Dirt, Johnny Cash version... very bizzare but GREAT

When I feel low and want to feel better, Space Cowboy by the steve miller band. It is IMPOSSIBLE to feel bad if you play that song loud enough.

Stevie Ray Vaughn - Anything, really but Life by the Drop is probably the best for this thread.

What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong also a classic feel better.

Freddy Mercury (I just love him) Again, anything, but singing Bohemian Rhapsody - the worse your voice the better - will make anyone cheer up.

Cheesy (but GREAT) bar songs:

WAY back in the day when I was in the bars - Paradise by the Dashboard Light, Meatloaf

Anything by Lynyrd Skynyrd

Coward of the County and Ruby, by Kenny... I hate country music, but no matter how drunk, you can't forget the words.

Ok, so far I only have drinking songs... if I make it a few more weeks I'll add some recovery titles.

oops, think I just let you all know that I'm old.... lol

gee I know all those...does that make me old too ?
LOL

D

Yes!!!! But not quite as old as me!!! LOL

I'm a Loser -- Beatles

Shalom!
