Corinne Bailey Rae * Just Like a Star

Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands,
Oh.. I do love you,

Still i wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

You've got this look i can't describe,
You make me feel like I'm alive,
When everything else is a fade,
Without a doubt you're on my side,
Heaven has been away too long,
Can't find the words to write this song,
Oh.,..
Your love,

Still i wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

I have come to understand,
The way it is,
It's not a secret anymore,
'cause we've been through that before,
From tonight I know that you're the only one,
I've been confused and in the dark,
Now I understand,

I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
I wonder why it is,
I wont let my guard down,
For anyone but you
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands

frenzyskye: jo, you think after we heard all these stories, witnessed how everything so beautiful turned so ugly, do you think one day if it happens to us, would we be able to stand up to it and face it?

Lady Luthien: i think our stories are pretty ugly too you know

Ugly indeed. Listening to this song gets me feeling all so sentimental-ish. Memories from the past evoked within me. I got sad, teary-eyed a bit. The very act of betrayal was too much to bear. Even up till now. Still could feel the feeling of a very giving and naive heart  crushed back then. How the many shattered pieces of a broken heart poked and prodded deep within.

I am happy now, no doubt about it. Very thankful for that too. Blissful indeed. Though the paranoid being within me just couldn't help but wonder, what if IT happens again, will I be able to stand up stong and face it all with that been-there-done-that kinda attitude.

Or will I just ... die once more...
