I'll never sing of love, if it does not exist...

I've listened to this song a few times...but of course now, while I'm at the coffee shop trying to do work, I listen to it and almost have a private showing of the ugly cry. Seriously. I'm holding back tears in the corner, where thankfully, no one can see me. There are few songs these days where I feel like I'll cry at the drop of a hat. I'm so far from my emotional side that it seriously scares me most days.

I used to be overly emotional about everything, and most people would probably still agree that I am overly emotional. However, from the former emotional-aholic, I can tell you that I cry nowhere near as much as I used to, and I find myself less and less moved by things. The thing that has filled its place? Jaded.

What the hell happened to me?

There's another Paramore song that has lyrics that go something like this:

You look like i did
You resist me just like this
You can't tell me to heal
And it hurts remembering how it felt to shut down

You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach a little more

Now, of course this is taken out of context of the whole picture, but it hurts to remember how it felt to shut down since it seems like I can't do it anymore. I can't block out the rest of the world like I used to, and it doesn't make any sense. This song, is one of my newest addictions, and if I could be a rocker like Hayley Williams, I totally would.

Here's the song that set me off this morning:
The Only Exception by Paramore.

When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart
And I watched
As he tried to reassemble it

And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist

But darling,
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now

I had sworn to myself that I'm
Content with loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk

Well, You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't
Let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving
In the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream

Ohh---

You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, And I'm on my way to believing

I really need to fall down the rabbit whole for a little while and experience some fantasy instead of all of the harsh realities of life. I feel like I need to get lost in a great novel about now...and not come out for awhile.
