i love jason robert brown.
still hurting from the last 5 years is absolutely gorgeous...its one of those songs that just tears at your (your being my) heart...the first two times i listened to it i cried...and it was someone singing it in studio.
the musical is about a couple's relationship over 5 years. the male sings going chronologically while the woman goes backwards in time. this is the first song on the soundtrack, so she just found out that Jamie is cheating on her. god i love this song.
Still Hurting
*Jamie is over and Jamie is gone
Jamie's decided it's time to move on
Jamie has new dreams he's building upon
And I'm still hurting
Jamie arrived at the end of the line
Jamie's convinced that the problems are mine
Jamie is probably feeling just fine
And I'm still hurting
What about lies, Jamie?
What about things
That you swore to be true
What about you, Jamie
What about you
Jamie is sure something wonderful died
Jamie decides it's his right to decide
Jamie's got secrets he doesn't confide
And I'm still hurting
Go and hide and run away
Run away, run and find something better
Go and ride the sun away
Run away like it's simple
Like it's right...
Give me a day, Jamie
Bring back the lies
Hang them back on the wall
Maybe I'd see
How you could be
So certain that we
Had no chance at all
Jamie is over and where can I turn?
Covered with scars I did nothing to earn
Maybe there's somewhere a lesson to learn
But that wouldn't change the fact
That wouldn't speed the time
Once the foundation's cracked
And I'm
Still Hurting*
when a song has the power to do what this song does to me, i know that i'm in the right place.
