Well... the past week has been quite a roller coaster. "On toppa the world ma" to "why me, not again". And i have seen just how much i've improved over the past six months. Sure OCD still has a spot in my life, but it's a supporting character, no longer the name in lights. Went from thinking i've found love, to having to accept being alone for a while longer all in a matter of days. And at the moment, Elton John (or i should really say Bernie Taupin, his lyricist) have a song that pretty much says what i'm feeling. If you're too busy, or too sad, or too fucked up to have me in your life, i'm not gonna cry over it. "this train don't stop there no more"... but, this is one of elton's newest songs. will never be a single, too country to be on the radio... but he can BELT a country-ish tune... This is called "turn the lights out when you leave".

Your bags out on the bed
Your closet's all cleared out
You say you're goin' to Jacksonville
'Cause our love's all worn out
You're searching in my eyes
To try and find a tear
But the well of my forgiveness
Has dried up with the years

You might still look pretty
In that lacey little dress
But I think you've got your signals crossed
If you think that I'm a mess

I ain't gonna die, I ain't gonna cry
I won't wear my heart out on my sleeve
You can take the car, but you won't break my heart
Oh and darlin' turn the lights out when you leave
I ain't gonna shake, I ain't gonna break
I ain't gonna fall down on my knees
So if everything's been said I'm heading back to bed
Oh and darlin' turn the lights out when you leave

It's like a prime time movie
You play the part so well
You do believe you're Heaven sent
And livin' here is hell

I hear it's hot in Florida
And it's raining here tonight
But the sun's gonna shine tomorrow
And I'm gonna do alright

You might still look pretty
In that lacey little dress
But I think you've got your signals crossed
If you think that I'm a mess

I ain't gonna die, I ain't gonna cry
I won't wear my heart out on my sleeve
You can take the car, but you won't break my heart
Oh, and darlin' turn the lights out when you leave
I ain't gonna shake, I ain't gonna break
I ain't gonna fall down on my knees
So if everything's been said I'm heading back to bed
Oh and darlin' turn the lights out when you leave

You might still look pretty
In that lacey little dress
But I think you've got your signals crossed
If you think that I'm a mess

I ain't gonna die, I ain't gonna cry
I won't wear my heart out on my sleeve
You can take the car, but you won't break my heart
And darlin' turn the lights out when you leave
I ain't gonna shake, I ain't gonna break
I ain't gonna fall down on my knees
So if everything's been said I'm heading back to bed
Oh and darlin' turn the lights out when you leave

So if everything's been said I'm heading back to bed
Oh and darlin' turn the lights out when you leave

Thank you Elton John, for still standing.
