30 post song challenge #4- a song that makes me sad...
"Delicate" by Damien Rice. There's a story told in this one that is so personal that it feels almost inappropriate for us to listen, like we are eavesdropping on a lover's conversation. I have had an experience/relationship that can be so completely summarized by this song that my chest becomes tight at even the thought.
"It's not that we're scared, it's just that it's delicate"...
Sure, it's a love song, but it really speaks to the heartbreak of two halves that never become the whole they should have been. Have you ever known two people that should have been together but couldn't make it work? I was more concerned with the person I "should" have been than letting myself just be who I was. I wonder if he is happy... hope he is happy... and hate that I ended things so spectacularly terrible. I broke whatever we had and have never been able to repair it. I was the villain in our story, and I'll have to answer for that. Until then, I'll listen to Damien Rice break my heart while I pack this suitcase.
