"One - Mary J Blige ft U2"
Don't know why, I know I had already noticed and loved the passion and intensity in this song but for some reason I heard it today and I heard it... again and again, it hit me...
Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
You say one love, one life (one life)
It's one need in the night
One love (one love), get to share it
Leaves you darling, if you don't care for it
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's too late, tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One...
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head
Well, did I ask too much, more than a lot?
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got
We're one, but we're not the same
Well we, hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love is a higher law
Love is a temple
Love is the higher law
You ask me to enter
Well then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters and my
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...
One love
Is it getting better

There is probably a number of reasons why it hit me more now than before... I guess it takes time to fully let go, if this ever does happen, I guess it takes moments and bits and pieces out of us. It has been such an emotional month and a long time ago I would have cried on your shoulder, now I recall things have changed and this is just the way it needs to be...

this song, haven't heard it in so long and today when you were copying them to me i could hear it sharp and clear in my head. my whole body shivered. i can still remember the emotion that came along with it. (i can still remember)
it gets into your head and takes a long time to leave but i guess that's the lesson it is trying to give: the things that meant something to us one day will take a certain amount of time to become only the memory attached to a certain tune. and maybe one day we hear it somewhere else and go "wait a minute, this sounds vaguely familiar...".
:)
love you hon * [ ]
Never had paid attention to the lyrics.Now i did as i read your post and almost cried with the emotions within those words.We never forget something that used to bring pain into our lives but i'm with sarinha,someday,afar from today,it will only be a memory attached to a certain tune.
You will find peace and happiness my dear:)
