You Don't, You Don't, You Don't,, You Don't Mean Anything to Me

The title of this post is a Simple Plan lyric from "You Don't Mean Anything."

I've been listening to some music lately. Mostly about heartbreak and being hurt. This just happened to be one of the songs. I also have Augustana's "Stars and Boulevards", Papa Roach's "Scars", Blink 182's "Adam's Song", and My Chemical Romance's "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)".

Like Keith Urban said about heartbreak in his song "Tonight I Wanna Cry", he croons, "It's gonna hurt bad before it gets better." And maybe I'm only feeling a lot of emotions and guilt since my break up with my boyfriend. I bet you Mr. Urban is right about that.

And I'll admit I still had feelings for my ex-boyfriend but after a while, I started to think, "You don't, you don't, you don't mean anything to me," as Simple Plan will rock out. And while I'm a little screwed up, music seems to make some things better. But "I'm not okay," continues My Chemical Romance, so I'm probably not really okay. "Adam's Song" is just totally about offing yourself, but Augustana, in "Stars and Boulevards" give a melancholy chorus of "Oh...seems like like I'm always on my own/Seems like I'm never coming home/Seems like I'm always on my own and I.../All the stars and boulevards aren't close enough for you".

So am I hurt? "It's gonna hurt bad before it gets better". Does my ex mean anything to me? "You don't....You don't mean anything to me!" Am I okay? "I'm not okay!" How's my hear and mental stability? "I tear my heart open/I sew myself shut/My weakness is/I can't do much/My scars remind me/The past is real" ("Scars" by Papa Roach). Will I do anything drastic? "Tomorrow holds such better days/Days when I can still feel alive" ("Adam's Song" by Blink 182).

Songs can explain for me. But I don't care what you think about me because, "You Don't, You Don't, You Don't,, You Don't Mean Anything to Me"
