Sing it 'til it hurts

Current top ten songs that make the heart wrench just a little more. Some of which I found from our playlist. 


10. If you ask me how I’m doing 
     I would say I’m doing just fine
     I would lie and say that you’re not on my mind
     But  I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
     And finally I’m forced to face the truth
     No matter what they say, I’m not over you
     - "Not Over You"
 
9. Where have you gone?
   The beach is so cold in winter here
   And where have I gone?
   I wake in Montauk with you near
 
   Remember the day 
   ‘Cause this is what dreams should always be
   I just want to stay
   I just want to keep this dream in me
   - "Losing Your Memory"

8. And I'd give up forever to touch you
   'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
   You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
   And I don't want to go home right now
   - "Iris"
 
7. You never get to choose
   You live on what they sent you
   And you know they’re gonna use
   The things you love against you 
   - "Falling Awake"
 
6. Oh lover I’m old
   You’ll be out there and be thinking just of me
   And I will find you down the road
   We’ll return back home to where we’re meant to be
   - "Duet"
 
5. I’d like to linger with you til the morning
   And pretend the winter has given to spring
   Conjure up guilty reminders together
   Fade into this like we both used to be To carry you on
   - "Tied to Me"
 
4. Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
   And feather canyons everywhere, looked at clouds that way
   But now they only block the sun, they rain and they snow on everyone
   So many things I would have done but clouds got in my way

   I've looked at clouds from both sides now
   From up and down, still somehow
   It's cloud illusions I recall
   I really don't know clouds at all
   - "Both Sides Now"
 
3. You can’t play on broken strings
   You can’t feel anything that your heart don’t want to feel
   I can’t tell something that ain’t real
   - "Broken Strings"
 
2. Are you really here or am I dreaming?
   I can’t tell dreams from truth
   For it’s been so long since I have seen you
   I can hardly remember your face anymore
   When I get really lonely
   When the distance causes only silence
   I think of you smiling 
   With pride in your eyes, a lover that sighs
   - "If You Want Me"


1. Et nous aurons pour nous l'éternité
   Dans le bleu de toute l'immensité
   Dans le ciel plus de problèmes
   Mon amour crois-tu qu'on s'aime
   Dieu reunit ceux qui s'aiment

   (We would have eternity for ourselves
   In the blue of all the immensity
   In heaven, no more problems
   My love, do you believe that we love each other?
   God reunites those who love each other)
    - "Hymne à L’amour"
