Once upon a time, I used to be an angst-ridden teen just looking for a little love from bad boys who rocked DC skateboarding kicks and smoked various leaves behind the bushes at school. Now that I’ve matured, changed my taste in men, and effectively become more boring, I don’t have much to complain about come Valentine’s Day. But sometimes re-living the past can be fun, so here’s a list of moody songs I would’ve listened to back in the V-D day. What are yours?
Something I Can Never Have: Nine Inch Nails
I still recall the taste of your tears.
Echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears.
My favorite dreams of you still wash ashore.
Scraping through my head 'till I don't want to sleep anymore.
Back In Your Head: Tegan and Sara
I just want back in your head
I'm not unfaithful
But I'll stray
Used To Love U: John Legend
Baby when I used to luv u
Theres' nothing that I wouldn't do
I went thru the fire for you, do anything you asked me to
But I tired of livin this lie
It's getting harder to justify
Realized that I just don't love u
Not like I used to
Nobody’s Fault But My Own: Beck
Treated you like a rusty blade
A throwaway from an open grave
Cut you loose from a chain gang
And let you go
Annie Waits: Ben Folds
Annie waits for the last time
Just the same as the last time
Annie waits for the last time
Just the same as the last time
And waits, but not for me
Warning Sign: Coldplay
A warning sign,
You came back to haunt me and I realized,
That you were an island and I passed you by,
You were an island to discover.
Screaming Infidelities: Dashboard Confessional
Your hair, it's everywhere.
Screaming infidelities
Say Goodbye: Dave Matthews
Tonight let's do this thing
All we are is wasting hours until the sun comes up it's all ours
On our way here
Tomorrow go back to being friends
Tear In Your Hand: Toris Amos
All the world is all I am
The black of the blackest ocean
You don't know the power that you have
With that tear in your hand
Tear in you hand
With that tear in you hand
Where I End and You Begin: Radiohead
I am up in the clouds
And I can't and I can't come down
I can watch and cant take part
Where I end and where you start
Where you, you left me alone
Without You I’m Nothing: Placebo
I'm unclean, a libertine
And every time you vent your spleen,
I seem to lose the power of speech,
Your slipping slowly from my reach.
You grow me like an evergreen,
You never see the lonely me at all
Take the plan, spin it sideways.
Without you, I'm nothing at all.
When You Were Young: The Killers
You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes
Kim: Eminem
So long, b*tch you did me so wrong
I don't wanna go on
Living in this world without you
From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea:The Cure
i wish i could just stop
i know another moment will break my heart
too many tears
too many times
too many years i've cried for you
it's always the same
wake up in the rain
head in pain
hung in shame
a different name
same old game
love in vain
