I haven't had my heart broken in loooongggg time (romantically speaking that is) but i still have a penchant for love songs that speaks of unrequited love.
I've been on roadtrips for the past three weekends and one of the highlights of every roadtrip is that you get to hear songs inside the car either from a CD or the radio. During our Port Stephens roadtrip, I heard this song from Hilda's CD while we were on the way home and the following week, she sent me a copy via snail mail (How romantic is that??? I miss receiving snail mails!).
Last Friday while cleaning the house, I kept on playing this song over and over again...learning and memorizing it. This is the kind of song that makes me regret not learning how to play the guitar (But it isn't too late yet right? Maybe one day I'll get the discipline to learn it!).
And this song has been playing inside my head thousands of time since then...this morning, I found the MTV on youtube.
Teardrops On My Guitar lyrics
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I need everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without
Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's just so funny
That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night
[Chorus:]
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause
[Repeat Chorus]
So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into..
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.
