This is more about being with someone you shouldn't....Del Amitri are masters of the poignant longing stuff. Check out Driving With Your Brakes on or Running Shoes...meanwhile

Be My Downfall.

The bus is pulling out and I guess I?d better go

Before I make a grave mistake and let my feelings show

And twenty miles away she waits alone for me

But when I try to picture her you?re the one I see

And in another situation I could put up a fight

But you will be my downfall tonight

So the night is coming down, drowning us in blue

And it all points towards the things we know we shouldn?t do

And as I look at you and I fall under your spell

Well I know I should be thinking of her lying there herself

And when faced with temptation you know a man should stand and fight

But you will be my downfall tonight

Be my downfall be my great regret be the one girl

That I?ll never forget

Be my undoing be my slow road to ruin tonight

So the bus is pulling out and I?m grounded here with you

And I want to say the sweet things babe I?ve always wanted to

So tell me now the tail-lights have gone out of sight

Baby won?t you be my downfall once again tonight

So far away, doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

Doesn't help to know you're just time away

Long ago I reached for you and there you stood

Holding you again could only do me good

How I wish I could, but you're so far away

One more song about movin' along the highway

Can't say much of anything that's new

If I could only work this life out my way

I'd rather spend it bein' close to you.

But you're so far away, doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

Doesn't help to know you're so far away

Yay-uh-ay-eee

Oh, so far away

Travelin' around sure gets me down and lonely

Nothin' else to do but close my mind

I sure hope the road don't come to own me

There's so many dreams I've yet to fin-ind

But you're so far away, doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

And it doesn't help to know you're so far away

Yay-uh-ay-eee

Oh, so far away

Yay, you're so faaaaaar away

Carole King....probably the best.....ever

This is sort of a song like that...

I Can't Make You Love Me

written by Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin

as performed by Bonnie Raitt

Turn down the lights

Turn down the bed

Turn down these voices

inside my head

Lay down with me

Tell me no lies

Just hold me close,

don't patronize

Don't patronize me

Cause I can't make you love me

if you don't

You can't make your heart feel

something it won't

Here in the dark

in these final hours

I will lay down my heart

And I'll feel the power

but you won't

No, you won't

Cause I can't make you love me

if you don't

I'll close my eyes

then I won't see

the love you don't feel

when you're holding me

Morning will come

and I'll do what's right

just give me till then

to give up this fight

and I will give up this fight

Cause I can't make you love me

if you don't

You can't make your heart feel

something it won't

Here in the dark

in these final hours

I will lay down my heart

And I'll feel the power

but you won't

No, you won't

Cause I can't make you love me

if you dont

I love this one...so sad

He Stopped Loving Her Today

Sung by: George Jones

Written by: Bob Braddock and Claude Putman, Jr.

He said "I'll love you till I die",

she told him "You'll forget in time"

As the years went slowly by,

she still preyed upon his mind

He kept her picture on his wall,

went half-crazy now and then

He still loved her through it all,

hoping she'd come back again

Kept some letters by his bed

dated nineteen sixty-two

He had underlined in red

every single "I love you"

I went to see him just today,

oh but I didn't see no tears

All dressed up to go away, first time

I'd seen him smile in years

He stopped loving her today

They placed a wreath upon his door

And soon they'll carry him away

He stopped loving her today

(Spoken)

You know,

she came to see him one last time.

Aww, 'n' we all wondered if she would.

And it kept runnin' through my mind

"this time he's over her for good."

He stopped loving her today

They placed a wreath upon his door

And soon they'll carry him away

He stopped loving her today

About a guy, everytime you try to go with him it just doesn't work out..everyday he goes through you're mind. Just every little thing doesn't want you two together and so therefore you can never be together but you wanna be with them so bad.

I've been through the same with a woman that I genuinely love unconditionally and would lay down my life for.... we had the hardest time trying to even had a friendship for the longest time because every time we had something figured out life threw a curve ball... the thing about love is that if your relationship can't handle what life throws at you it bot who you are meant to be with... if you tackle life curves together and come out stronger there is nothing that can hold you apart

 

it's not* 

 

I wish yu the best with your realand my only advice is if you want it to work you have to want your relationship as much as your next breath
