Nothing Left to Say

When I first heard this song, I thought it was another great song by a group I have come to love over the years. Today as I have realized that I will be soon joining the ranks of the failed marriage statistics in this country, Pandora continues to amaze me playing this song... reminds me of the old Tom Joyner bit "Howdoitknow"... I was brought to tears listening to the words as they almost seemed as if someone was following us around and writing a song about our relationship.

I truly hoped and prayed that our marriage would be able to get past our issues with each other and grow into a thriving relationship. Now that it has become apparent that one has become two again it is my hope that all of our well-wishers for us when we started our life together will remain as enthusiastic as we end our life together.

Other than that, there's nothing left to say.

Love was so strong
At least at the beginning
Who wouldve thought
There'd ever be an ending
We had it all
But it's like we've run into a wall

Now we try to talk
But just end up fighting
Try making up
But there's just no denying
Just ain't the same no more
What are we putting ourselves through all this for

You talk and hear me
But you can't communicate
Cause you're not listening
Know these are two different things
Now I see what it means to have been
Blinded by the one you love so deeply
Cause,

The very things that made me love you
Are the things pushing me away now
In tears we stand here
With nothing left to say

And all I could do for you
I should've done before now
In tears we stand here
There's nothing, nothing left to say

You touched my heart
And were so givin
Spirit so free
You threw me in it
I fell so deep
I could not see my life
Without you in it

Girl you gave me
A lot of attention
Somehow the feeling turned
Into crazy possessive
It was always there
But I didn't look deeper
If I would've I'da seen the limits

You talk and hear me
But you can't communicate
Cause you're not listening
Know these are two different things
Now I see what it means to have been
Blinded by the one you love so deeply

I had my pride girl
And you had your pain
So deep inside you
Wanted to have your say
Irritated, frustrated and third baby
This is so confusing
Girl I though this was the one thing for sure

The very things that made me love you
Are the things pushing me away now
In tears we stand here
With nothing left to say

And all I could do for you
I should've done before now
In tears we stand here
There's nothing left to say

Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing

Wish I had more words
To try and encourage
Us to find a way
Cause there's nothing left to say

The very things that made me love you
Are the things pushing me away now
In tears we stand here
With nothing left to say

And all I could do for you
I should've done before now
In tears we stand here
There's nothing left to say

Things that made me love you
Are the things pushing me away now
In tears we stand here
With nothing left to say

And all I could do for you
I should've done before now
In tears we stand here
There's nothing left to say

Baby, there's nothing left to say

You'll definitely know who's written this once I finish up this post (if not from this first line). I've continued to read your blog off and on for the last year or so just to see how things were going on your end as I was genuinely hoping that all was well with you even though things didn't work out with us. I don't even know where to begin honestly and I probably shouldn't even be writing you but I feel compelled to do so anyway. I know that you must be hurting to have taken the step to get married and ultimately have it fail. I hope that you are able to heal and pick up the pieces so that you can move forward with your life and determine what truly enhances your happiness. I am going to follow up with an email as there are things that I want to say that I'm not going to post here, but I wanted to be sure that I caught your eyes. When you've given the best that you can give, only to be left alone in the end, it certainly feels as if the world has ended but it hasn't. The world around you has simply changed, just know that even though you may not see it right now in this moment, life will get better and you will embrace and be thankful for the lesson learned. You shouldn't be surprised to know that this is one of my favorite MC songs and I found myself singing the same tune a few months ago.
