Summary: Next part in my mix series History Of An Almost Something. Previous mixes can be found here.
It's Friday night, and you're alone. It doesn't matter why. Maybe he left six months ago, maybe it's only been over for a few hours. Maybe you never told her. Maybe he turned you down. You're not ready to start the healing process, you want a minute to just revel in the feeling of sitting absolutely alone in the dark, when you should be out having the time of your life. You take a deep breath, close your eyes, and put on these songs.

After The Storm, Mumford & Sons
I will die alone and be left there. Well I guess I'll just go home, oh God knows where. Because death is just so full and man so small. Well I'm scared of what's behind and what's before.
Don't Get Around Much Anymore, Natalie Cole
Been invited on dates. I might have gone, but what for?It's awfully different without you. Don't get around much anymore.
Candles, Hey Monday
Been black and blue before, there's no need to explain. I am not the jaded kind, playback's such a waste. You're invisible, invisible to me. My wish is coming true: Erase the memory of your face.
I Don't Sleep Well, Hello Saferide
There is someone else right beside me, he kept every secret I told. He giggled his way straight through fall, and I don’t sleep well at all. He knows when I’m happy and nods when I’m sad. And he puts out when I come home drunk. And suddenly I stand real tall, but I don’t sleep well at all.
You Each Time, Ani DiFranco
So my heart finally broke. It was so long bent and it broke in three places, when it finally went. It wanted only to say what it meant, so it suffered every punishment. Now it lives in a shack outside of town, and only the wolves are out there listening. And in her dreams they chase her down, their moonlit eyes are glistening. And it is you each time, it is you.
Deep Talk In The Shallow End, Ben Lee
If you were 'round I'd show you wounds and scars, the proof that you were here. And then I'd make you cry like I did, if my point still was not clear. If you were here I'd scream and maybe trash the room if I had time. And then one single word would break your spirit, just the same as you broke mine.
Someone Like You, Adele
Nevermind, I'll find someone like you. I wish nothing but the best for you. Don't forget me, I beg. I'll remember, you said. Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead.
It's Okay, Land of Talk
Long way round, don't care what I find. A little thunder's good, I thought maybe you would... But it's okay, we all feel left out. sometimes growing up, it can get you down.
Diamond State Heartbreak
Wish I didn't want you, didn't want you back. But you were my biggest love so far, and you broke my heart. You broke my heart.
Fake EMpire, The National
Turn the light out say goodnight, no thinking for a little while. Lets not try to figure out everything at once. It’s hard to keep track of you falling through the sky.
Nevermind Me, Maria Mena
This facade that I'm stuck with has got me wondering. Just tell me how you want me, and I'll be naked stumbling, just to get a reaction, any signs of love. Nevermind me, I'll just cast shadows on the wall.
Pictues of You, The Cure
If only I'd thought of the right words, I could have held on to your heart. If only I'd thought of the right words I wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you.
Cold As You, Taylor Swift
You put up walls and paint them all a shade of gray. And I stood there loving you and wished them all away. And you come away with a great little story Of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you.
A Drop In The Ocean, Ron Pope
Misplaced trust and old friends,n ever counting the regrets. By the grace of God, I do not rest at all. And New England as the leaves change; the last excuse that I'll claim: I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl.
Half Boyfriend, Jay Brannan
I don’t know where we’re going, but i know we’ve gone too far andi hope it isn’t showing, but i think i love you. And i can’t believe you’re leaving just when i let you in. And when you had me believing i could feel again.
