Men + Expectations = Disapointment .........or maybe not

I've had one of those weekends.........yep those where you go from loving something or someone to hating them in a matter of moments and for no good reason really.

Ok long story short, men + expectation = disapointment or so I thought.

Yes, I have a new man in my life and far from disapointing me at every turn as almost every single one of them have in the past, he is turning out to be a huge surprise in more ways than one and I'm loving it. Now if I can just get used to things actually going well for a change.........that would be a turn out for the books

On a slightly different note I was listening to Kelly Clarkson over the weekend and realised that the words to this one are actually not so much a negative commentry on relationships as a commentary on learning from others mistakes which I finally seem to be doing ..........

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way, to never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake, a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you
