musical messages in my head

My favorite CD right now is Usher: Confessions (very special thanks to Kymberlie for making the purchase from my Amazon wishlist - you rock, chickie!).
I play it every time I'm in Da Hussy, which isn't much, but it's often enough that two of the songs have lodged themselves in my brain.
Simple Things
It's the simple things in life we forget
You hear her talkin' but don't hear what she said
Why do you make something so easy so complicated
Searching for what's right in front of your face
But you can't see it
You need to pay her attention
Give her what she needs
Do the simple things
Before you lose your girl to me
Let It Burn
It's gonna burn for me to say this
But it's comin from my heart
It's been a long time coming
But we done been fell apart
Really wanna work this out
But I don't think you're gonna change
I do but you don't think it's best we go our separate ways
Tell me why I should stay in this relationship
When I'm hurting baby, I ain't happy baby
Plus there's so many other things I gotta deal with
I think that you should let it burn
When my mind locks onto words this way, to the point where I'm feeling worn down by their echo, I know I have to heed the message they represent: I've suppressed my own needs for some very simple things in a particular personal relationship, and the strain this has placed on my mental and emotional state has become painfully evident.
I ain't happy, baby, and despite all the "great talks", I still don't feel like I've been truly heard. So I'll simply give up this time around, rather than repeating myself yet again to someone who isn't really listening - or who just doesn't care enough to pay attention.
Comments
I really like Follow Me, Bad Girl and Caught Up from that CD. It's pretty good isn't it?
My original favorite (which I still love) is Yeah. Then Caught Up was my second. I also love Bad Girl, and Truth Hurts is starting to catch on too. Pretty soon, they'll ALL be favorites. ;)
