Dedicating Butterfly
I'm a huge fan of Sarah McLachlan, and I've always loved this song. Which one in particular am i talking about? Fallen.Over a month ago, I was listening to it on my cd player, and for obvious reasons, I was relating to it more so than usual, thinking that I had stuffed us up. It used to be tear me apart every time i heard it. I was listening to it again today and was reminded of the last time we'd talked and how you'd told me it actually *wasn't* my fault.... and if anyone was to blame, it would be you.
In which case, I now dedicate this song to you. I find it not only provides an apt representation of Us, but for some strange reason it consoles me to know that 1. you have this song (i gave you a copy), and 2. when your cd player plays this song, i hope you can relate to the parts that i've bolded (because i feel that this how you should - or in my case, *want* you to - feel about us when you hear this song).
yes i know, bitter, bitter, bitter...

Heaven bend to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight
Truth be told I tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear
I have sunk so low
I've messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so
We all begin with good intent
When love was raw and young
We believe that we can change ourselves
The past can be undone
But we carry on our back the burden time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning
In the wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
I've held so dear
I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I've messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so
Heaven bend to take my hand
With no where left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turn their heads embarrassed
Pretend that they don't see
That it's one missed step, one slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed
Though I've tried I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I've messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so
I've messed up
Better I should know
Don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so
Fallen - Sarah McLachlan

No, i wouldn't come around to tell you 'i told you so.' at the most, i'll walk on by. but if there was one song this year that i'd want you to hear, it would be this one. and i know how much of a fan you are of Sarah also. and you have all her cds. so it shouldn't be a problem.
