There was this song by DIDO that I once dedicated to my ex-bf which was entitled WHITE FLAG. That was exactly I felt and perhaps the reason why we ended as good friends.
Now this one goes to him.

GWEN STEFANI---- COOL

It's hard to remember how it felt before
Now I found the love of my life...
Passes things get more comfortable
Everything is going right

And after all the obstacles
It's good to see you now with someone else
And it's such a miracle that you and me are still good friends
After all that we've been through I know we're cool

We used to think it was impossible
Now you call me by my new last name

Memories seem like so long ago
Time always kills the pain

Remember Harbor Boulevard
The dreaming days where the mess was made
Look how all the kids have grown
We have changed but we're still the same
After all that we've been through I know we're cool

And I'll be happy for you
If you can be happy for me
Circles and triangles, and now we're hangin' out
with your new girlfriend
So far from where we've been I know we're cool

I think many songs remind us of love Because sometimes the lyrics match (no matter how clichee ) and sometimes the music is just beautiful, even if the lyrics are wrong.
This is what i experience about Turkish music. The melody, the passion and the music remind me of love, tho the lyrics are sometimes completely wrong for the situation im in

Anyways i'd like to post this one because i like the song itself in particular and i could really dedicate it because i know how to play and sing it on the piano

Katie Melua - my Aphrodisiac is you

Some people say
That oysters make you come on strong,
But I don't buy it,
I don't believe my diet turns me on.
Won't take no pills,
That's the last thing that I need to do,
I can't deny it,
My aphrodisiac is you.

Alright, I could sniff some powdered rhino horn,
And go to bed in rubber gloves.
But I don't need no stimulation,
Potions, balms or embrocation,
I'm in love,
In other words...

Don't smoke no grass,
Or opium from old Hong Kong,
That hubble-bubble
Just makes me see you double
All night long.
Don't waste my time
With Spanish fly and roots to chew,
They cause me trouble,
Because my aphrodisiac is you.

Alright, I could sniff some powdered rhino horn,
And go to bed in rubber gloves.
But I don't need no stimulation,
Potions, balms or embrocation,
I'm in love,
In other words...

Some people like
To read the khama sutra first,
But I don't need it
I think if I should read it
I'd be worse;
Don't ask me why,
Because baby, I ain't got a clue.
I just concede it,
My aphrodisiac Is you

You are feeling so alone while walking down the street then suddenly a song caught your senses. You reached home but the song kept playing in your mind and just won't stop. Your last song syndrome started to bug you again so you try to erase your mind. You ask yourself a stupid question and burst in tears.

I Wouldn't Be Here If I Didn't Love You
Belinda Carlisle

Traffic lights shining in my eyes
Through the pouring rain
We had a terrible fight tonight
And I can't stand the pain
I've been searching for hours and hours
Up and down these lonely streets
I feel scared and alone and so incomplete

I wouldn't be here if I didn't love you
I wouldn't be here if I didn't care
I wouldn't waste your time or my time in a love that's going nowhere

It's been building up for quite sometime
Something had to break
But to just end it all like this
Would be the worst mistake
I know I don't wanna live without you
I know exactly what you mean to me
And I believe that inside, we still hold the key

I wouldn't be here if I didn't love you
I wouldn't be here if I didn't care
I wouldn't waste your time or my time in a love that's going nowhere

I wouldn't be here if I didn't love you
Freezing cold in the pouring rain
All I wanna do is find you
Let me set you home again

Someday we gonna look back on this
Throw away the cross we had to bear
We'll have a laugh and we'll have a kiss
We'll say all is fair

I wouldn't be here if I didn't love you
I wouldn't be here if I didn't care
I wouldn't waste your life or my life in a love that's going nowhere

I wouldn't be here baby
(I wouldn't be here if I didn't love you)
I wouldn't be here baby
(I wouldn't be here if I didn't love you)

Beverly Craven "Promise me" - sure it's oversentimental and somehow doesn't match the sarcastic cynical me but....I can't help loving it

You light up another cigarette
And I pour the wine
It’s four o’clock in the morning
And it’s starting to get light
Now I’m right where I want to be
Losing track of time
But I wish that it was still last night
You look like you’re in another world
But I can read your mind
How can you be so far away
Lying by my side
When I go away I’ll miss you
And I will be thinking of you
Every night and day just ...

Promise me you’ll wait for me
’cos I’ll be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon
Promise me you’ll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
And I’ll be home, I’ll be home soon

When I go away I’ll miss you
And I will be thinking of you
Every night and day just ...

Promise me you’ll wait for me
’cos I’ll be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon
Promise me you’ll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
And I’ll be home, I’ll be home soon

Promise me you’ll wait for me
’cos I’ll be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon
Promise me you’ll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
And I’ll be home, I’ll be home soon

This song makes me cry every time I hear it...
I dedicate it to the most wonderful man I have ever met, the father of my children.

Sometimes love just aint enough

Now, I don't want to lose you
but I don't want to use you
just to have somebody by my side.
And I don't want to hate you,
I don't want to take you
but I don't want to be the one to cry.

And that don't really matter to anyone anymore.
But like a fool I keep losing my place
and I keep seeing you walk through that door.

But there's a danger in loving somebody too much,
and it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust.
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are.
Baby, sometimes, love just aint enough.

Now, I could never change you
I don't want to blame you.
Baby, you don't have to take the fall.
Yes, I may have hurt you, but I did not desert you.
Maybe I just want to have it all.

It makes a sound like thunder
it makes me feel like rain.
And like a fool who will never see the truth,
I keep thinking something's gonna change.

And there's no way home
when it's late at night and you're all alone.
Are there things that you wanted to say?
And do you feel me beside you in your bed,
there beside you, where I used to lay?

And there's a danger in loving somebody too much,
and it's sad when you know it's your heart they can't touch.
There's a reason why people don't stay who they are.
Baby, sometimes, love just ain't enough.

Baby, sometimes, love... it just ain't enough.
Oh, Oh, Oh, No

Boy ! What a jolly morning.......
I am surrounded by crying sentimentalists....

We sentimental jerks thank God for having you around to cheer us up, AlphaF!!!

Cheer up, guys!
Top of the morning to you all !

My love lives on highlands,
Ice cold waters kiss her hands.
She now knows that love too deep,
Only brings loneliness.

Benim yarim yaylalarda oturur,
Ak ellerin soğuk suya batırır.
Demedim mi nazlı yarim ben sana,
Çok muhabbet tez ayrılık getirir.

(Not an exact translation, but carries the same meaning)

'i ll be near you, whenever u need me...'lol
there it goes... dedicated to him... dedicated to those moments i hate him for not keeping his promise...

I woke up in my sleep and heard two voices
One said to me 'forget him! and cease crying anymore!'
But the other was yours
Through the sleep's, the nightmare's lines
To me it said 'you sleep my love, i ll be near u whenever you need me...'

Years are innumerable but life is short
I got used to 'i love you's
You got used to them too
But years are containers
They are a cheap hotel for two moments
To host the pain at nights
Those nights when i remain alone
Measuring my silences
Remembering you when i suffer, telling me
'I ll be near you whenever you need me...'

The fairy tale has finished
And real life begins
Oh how i wish your truth was more truthful than your lie...
What do i need my life for?
I will throw it in the fairy tale to be drowned
Maybe this way i will make it believe in fairy tales again
Maybe i will make it believe in you all over again
Believe you when you touch me
Those nights when you whisper, when you say
'I ll be near you whenever you need me...'
