Is That Seat Taken?

September is here. If you don’t know that by now there is something seriously wrong with you, better get out of the rock you’re under. There’s something about the start of the -ber months that always dampens my mood. I tend to think about lots of stuff, assess my situation, worry about the world, and things like that. There is one big reason why I get like this, my family and friends know about it but I don’t think most of them realize it.

Here’s another reason… well…  these songs tell the story better than I do. Can you guess the theme? It’s pretty darn obvious.

It’s not your fault, so please stop your crying now.
- New Found Glory, “It’s Not Your Fault“

I don’t want it all back, I don’t mind where I’m at. I’ve been trying to stand tall. But I’ve been placing so much of my mind’s eye just trying to see over these walls I put in front of me.
- Peter Salett, “The Way Things Used To Be“

Old friendships fade away, love falls apart. And you’ve not spent a single day outside my heart. But, there’s just one more dream that I have left for you. I hope you’re smiling when he turns around and says I do.
- Jude, “I Do“

And I never thought it would hurt just to hear “I do” and “I do” and I do a number on myself and all that I thought to be. And you’ll be the one that just left me undone by my own, hesitation. And for the million hours that we were, well I’ll smile and remember it all then I’ll turn and go. While your story’s completed, mine is a long way from done… Your wagon’s been hitched to a star. Well now he’ll be your thing that’s new. Yeah what little I have you can borrow, ’cause I’m old and I’m blue…
- Sister Hazel, “Champagne High“

I came to see the light in my best friend. You seemed as happy as you’ve ever been. My chance of being open was broken. My words they don’t come out right, but I’ll try to say I’m happy for you… Is that seat taken? Congratulations.
- Blue October feat. Imogen Heap, “Congratulations“

Honestly over you… one lie short of true. I wished your love away…
- Cary Brothers, “Honestly“

Di siya nagbabasa ng blog na ‘to so I guess ok lang ipanglantaran ang mga ka-emo-han ko hehe. I’m sorry. Soon I will put it all behind me… soon.

To all the guys out there who know what I’m talking about, who feel these songs, this one’s for you!

Is there a cure for this?
