Stopped in my tracks....

A couple of days ago I was just pullin onto my drive when this song came on the radio. I just froze. I wasnt really paying attention but then the 2nd verse leapt out at me and I just couldnt get out of my car. I have played it over an over. I hope I dont depress too many of you but i needed to share it

Hi Maxineann1:

I down loaded "Hate Me" to my iPod months ago. This past Sunday while riding my bike, I was listining to that song. Tears where streaming down my face. The version I have on my iPod opens up to something like this: A mother leaves a message on her son's answering machine. She is calling him to check up on him as she hasn't heard from him in a couple days. She states that she knows he's been stressed and that she is concerned for him... Then the actual song kicks in. It reminds me of me and my father. My father calls me alot to make sure I'm alright. Just this past Saturday, my husband and I went on a 30 mile bike ride in New Hope, Pennsylvania. We both turned off our cell phones for the entire day. The following morning, I listened to my messages. Three of the messages were from my father. I immediately called him. I told him that I was fine and that I was 20 days AF. My father told me he was relieved. He thougth that maybe I relapsed and was avoiding him. Anyway... That wasn't the case. I'm now on day 23. This particular verse is the one that brings me to tears every time I hear "Hate Me":
"I’m sober now for 3 whole months it’s one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won’t touch again
In my sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
So I’ll drive so f----- far away that I never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind".

Maxinanne1: I think the verse I just quoted is your favorite as well. The one you keep replaying. Am I right?

Hey Maxineanne, I liked the song as well although as soon as I saw the title I was worried it may be a little morbid.
Theres a song by Alanis Morrissette - Mary Jane. Oh the pain!!
