Greed

"Grenade" - Bruno Mars

How I wish I could gain back the last 6-years that's gone by. I often revisit them, but sadly it's becoming more and more difficult to remember the good times. Besides the first 6-months of bliss, everything about it was all about you. It had always been about you. And after most of what you needed was taken care of, you walked away from me with nothing more than a thank you. Well, f@$k you very much. And let me tell you why.

I remember vividly the last night we were together. We were walking down a crowded hill when you looked at me and said, "Just let me do this." Well, do what exactly? All I've seen...all I've heard since you took the reigns is just how royally you're f@$kin' it up. I should've figured when the first weekend we were officially apart you somehow managed to go to an LA club for a change while I could barely stand up straight. Was this the real you I failed to see? Have I been so blind to let you take advantage of me? And if you didn't, then pay me back.

You know I did more for you than you could ever do for yourself. You know that I extended everything I had to push you as far up as you needed to go and in the process, I held myself back. And you're probably thinking, "Well, that's why I had to leave you." Well, again f@$k you very much. You should've left the night you first lied to me. You should've left after every single time you "disappeared" on me. You should've left when you put yourself before me. You should've left when you had to borrow from me. You should've left when things only made you happy. You should've left when you realized just how heavy your hand can be. You should've left when the courts drained me...You should've left me sooner.

I had my place. I had my sanity. I had my certain someone who could've taken care of me. And then you came along and I lost all sense of self. I believed you, but most of all I believed in you. And now what do I have to show for it, huh? I don't even get to be a part of what I fought so f@$kin' hard for. It's all yours. It's always been yours and God knows what you're doing with it now. You regressed, not progressed and the only thing you left me with was a hard slap in the face. "I give you nothing and take from you everything," huh? Well, ya that pretty much sums up what you did to me so f@$k you very much.

Lyrics:

Easy come, easy go, that's just how you live
Oh, take, take, take it all but you never give
Should've known you was trouble from the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open, why were they open?

Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
'Cause what you don't understand is

I'd catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I'd jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same
No, no, no, no

Black, black, black and blue, beat me 'til I'm numb
Tell the devil I said, hey, when you get back to where you're from
Mad women, bad women, that's just what you are, yeah
You'll smile in my face then rip the brakes out my car

Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, yes, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
'Cause what you don't understand is

I'd catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I'd jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for ya, baby
But you won't do the same

If my body was on fire
Ooh, you'd watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me, you're a liar
'Cause you never, ever, ever did, baby

But darling, I'd still catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I'd jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same

No, you won't do the same
You wouldn't do the same
Ooh, you never do the same
No, no, no, no

Welcome to People

Songs TBA Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.

Love Is Not Blind

"Colorblind" - Counting Crows I originally had a Dave Matthews Band song in my head, but like always I'm bending the rules a little bit and going with what's in my heart. After all, I couldn't follow my last blog with something you didn't like, could I? That just wouldn't fit and this seems to do just that. This song reminds me of the movie Cruel Intentions . It's hard not to think of it. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's chemistry was so strong, especially in their steamy love scene with this song playing in the background, that any other memory pales in comparison. I always thought the lyrics were so simple and romantic, but it became even clearer here. There was no doubt about it. I knew instantly that they were a real life couple even before they announced it. Love is obvious. Acting can never really be this good unless two people have genuine feelings for each. Look at Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in The Notebook and Angelina Jolie ...

Alter Ego

"Dancing in the Dark" - Tegan & Sara (Original by Bruce Springsteen) There's nothing like a set of twin sister lesbians to start my day right. At least that's how they were introduced to me by my co-worker as we sat inside a what-used-to-be-white PT Cruiser (it needs a car wash like no other). We were driving up Alvarado street passed MacArthur Park and Korea Town when this duo first came on. It was a bit soft at first, but I couldn't remember which song it was now that I think about it. I asked him who it was and he said their names so fast I thought he sneezed! It's funny how I discover things when I'm not looking. Anyway, he mentioned he loves covers and that these gals are known for doing pretty cool ones. However, since I'm not much of a fan of duplicates I was a little skeptical at first. I like originality, but lately I've been trying things on for size to see how well they fit. Going with the flow. Expanding my picky taste buds with ...
