See my days are cold without you, but I'm hurtin while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more, I keep on running back to you
See my days are cold without you, But I'm hurtin while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more, I keep on running back to you

Baby I don't know why ya treatin me so bad
You said you love me, no one above me, and I was all you had
And though my heart is eating for ya, I can't stop crying
I don't know how I allow you to treat me this way and still I stay

Baby I don't know why ya wanna do me wrong
See when I'm home, I'm all alone and you are always gone
And boy, you know I really love you, I can't deny
I can't see how you could bring me to so many tears
after all these years

Oohhhhh
I trusted you, I trusted you
So sad, so sad what love will make you do
All the things that we accept
Be the things that we regret
Too all of my ladies (ladies)
Feel me c'mon sing wit me
See, when I get the strength to leave
You always tell me that you need me
And I'm weak cause I believe you
And I'm mad because I love you
So I stop and think that maybe
You can learn to appreciate me
Then it all remains the same that
You ain't never gonna change
(never gonna change, never gonna change)

Baby why you hurt me leave me and desert me
Boy I gave you all my heart and all you do is tear it up
Looking out my window knowing that I should go
Even when I pack my bags
This something always hold me back

It’s really funny how we feel quite identified with a song. Uncanny it may sometimes seems, but these songs were as if narrating the story of our lives.

When me and my bestfriend were hanging out at Gloria Jeans Galleria last Friday, the song “Foolish” by Ashanti is being played at adjacent Oody’s. The moment I recognized the song, I can’t help but to hum and sing along with it. I was practically transported back in time and the song brought back [painful] memories. This song says it all. Memories. Emotions I had that time. What I wanted the relationship to be but it didn’t.

The only time I snapped out of Oblivionville is when my friend deliberately gesticulated her hand in front of me. I tried with much effort to listen to her but the song [and its memories] is too powerful for me to ignore. I had to beg her to allow me to finish the song first.

When she asked me what’s that all about, I told her that that was my break up song with this person. Back to those days when the memory of him is still fresh, I can’t help but cry [silently] and think how foolish I am to succumb to his every wish, just because I love him.

But listening to it now makes me reminisce the past without hurting. Though I can’t honestly say that I’m totally over him, this song still brings back bittersweet memories, of the love that has gone, and lost.
