These Days

Hearts Breaking Even
by Bon Jovi, from the album These Days (1995)

It’s been a cold, cold, cold, cold night tonight
And I can’t get you off my mind
God knows I’ve tried
Did I throw away the best part of my life?
When I cut you off, did I cut myself with the same damn knife?
Hide my tears in the pouring rain, had my share of hurt and pain
Don’t say my name, run away, ‘cause it’s all in vain

My hearts breaking even
Now there’re no use we even try
Hey, I cried
Yeah, I lied
Hell, I almost died
Both got our reasons
Let’s just fold the cards and say goodbye
It’s alright
Just two hearts breaking even tonight

It’s been a long, long, long, long time
Since I’ve had your love here in my hands
We didn’t understand it, we couldn’t understand it
But nothing’s fair in love and hate
You lay it all down and walk away before it’s too late
We danced all night as the music played
The sheets got tangled in the mess we made
There in the stains, we remain
No one left to blame

Go on, get on with your life
Yeah, and I’ll get on with mine
Broken hearts can’t call the cops
Yeah, it’s the perfect crime
Twisting and turning the night keeps me yearning
I’m burning alive burning alive
I’m paying the price again
But I’ll see the light again

^Song written with Desmond Child and sounds quite like an Aerosmith number.

[No hearts broken here]

I just have to say, as a fan, that Bon Jovi is a much under-appreciated band, and I’m definitely looking forward to Lost Highway.

Clichéd as it be, time surely flies. I took yesterday off for ‘nothing’ (why should one need a reason to take a day off?) and spent it sleeping in and doing some housecleaning. I figured that I might as well take a proper leave since I wouldn’t be doing anything at work anyway. Remember when time passed ever so slowly when we were young(er)? Perhaps it was because we really enjoyed every second of it and ‘tomorrow’ holds so much promise. Now, I guess, we worry a lot and tomorrows for the most part mean deadlines. It surely feels like it was just yesterday that we were plotting to overthrow the school authorities.
