Hi Ada,
I am new to this site, but have read some of your posts and have been very touched by them. I just wanted to share a song that I have found very cathartic for a broken heart. I put the lyrics in the message, but much of the song's beauty is in the vocals - his voice escalates to such a strong ache by the end. I felt it was one of the better songs for capturing that type of pain.
Heart is out to you,
Bedrock
Jeff Buckley
Grace (1994)
Lover, You Should've Come OverLooking out the door i see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
And maybe i'm too young to keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you're on my mind so you never knowWhen i'm broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it
Where are you tonight, child you know how much i need it
Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and runSometimes a man gets carried away, when he feels like he should be having his fun
And much too blind to see the damage he's done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that really, he has no-oneSo i'll wait for you... and i'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return
Oh will I ever learnOh lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too lateLonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that will never comeIt's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when i slept so soft against her
It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul foreverWell maybe i'm just too young
To keep good love from going wrongOh... lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too lateWell I feel too young to hold on
And i'm much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage i've done
Sweet lover, you should've come over
Oh, love well i'm waiting for youLover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late
