Another One Bites the Dust
Sometimes I get a little nostaligc and think of the boys that got away or let me get away and eventually saved me from bad in-laws, Saturday’s at Home Depot and a shared checking account. So as I rumage through my Ipod, I find a few songs for those boys left behind.
In the spirit of Casey Kasem, I count backwards.
10. Better Off Alone- Katherine McPhee: “You help me figure it out, I’m better off alone”
9. Another One Bites the Dust- Queen: “You took me for everything I had, are you happy, are you satisfied.”
8. I’m Movin’ On- Rascal Flats: “I’ve dealt with my ghosts and faced all my demons…at once I’m at peace with myself.”
7. Leave the Pieces - The Wreckers: “It’s alright, I’ll be fine, don’t worry ’bout this heart of mine, take your love and hit the road.”
6. I Will Remember You -Sarah McLachlan:”I will remember you, will you remember me?”
5. Listen - Beyonce(Dreamgirls): “I am at alone at a crossroads…the time has come for my dreams to be heard. I am more than what you made of me…but now I’ve got to find my own.”
4. It Ain’t Me - Johnny Cash: “I’m not the one you want babe, I’m not the one you need, it ain’t me you’re looking for.”
3. Better in Time - Leonna Lewis: “I’ll be okay, thought I couldn’t live without you…it’ll all get better in time…even though I really love you, I’ll smile because I deserve to.”
2. One - U2: ”It’s too late tonight to drag the past into the light, we’re one, but not the same…love is a temple, love is a higher law…you ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl.”
1. I’m Still Standing -Elton John: “I’m still standing better than I ever did, looking like a true survivor…I”m still standing after all this time, picking up the pieces of my life without you by my side.”
