Check out the lyrics in this song...
The first time I heard this I had one of those 'this song was written just for me' moments.
Anyone who has suffered at the hands of a narcissist should hear this.
Sad but healing...

"Trigger Happy Jack" by Poe. Album-Hello. Describes the experience PERFECTLY!!!!

Trigger Happy Jack lyrics:

He scares easily
It makes him so angry
At me

And his head it spins around
Just like the exorcist and i
Find it ever so
Hard to resist his cries

But theres nothing more sadistic than an infant
Waving his pistol in my face
He wants me right down on my knees
Crumbling in disgrace

But he underestimates my mind
I know hes messing with my head
My only weakness is
I cant believe the guy could be entirely dead

Chorus:

Cant talk to a psycho like a normal human being
Cant talk to a psycho like a normal human being
Trigger happy jack
Youre gonna blow
But Im gonna get off
Before you go
My trigger happy jack is just a
Drive by a go-go

And after awhile he calms down
And he looks at me like a prince
But I know I better bite the bullet
cause its just another one of his
Jedi mind tricks

But this aint no headtrip honey
This is a collision on the road
And youve got me feeling oh just like a roadkill
And you know deep down I know

*Chorus*

Why do you make me feel like this?
Why do you gotta be such a ****?
Why do you make me feeling like this?
Why do you gotta be such a ****?
Go-go

And I hate myself
Just enough to want him
But I hate him just enough to get off
But I understand him
Maybe Im just crazy enough
To love him
Why not? (why not? )

You cant to a psycho like a normal human being...

Fiona Apple - Sleep to Dream

"I tell you how I feel, but you dont care.
I say tell me the truth, but you dont dare.
You say love is a hell you cannot bare.
And I say gimme mine back and then go there - for all I care."

"SCARS" Papa Roach

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And my scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

I'm Drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
I'm pissed 'cause you came around
Why don't you just go home?
'Cause I channeled all your pain
And I can't help you fix yourself
You're making me insane
All I can say is...

[Chorus:]
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That you're drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassion's in my nature
Tonight is our last stand

[Chorus]

I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
You shoulda' never come around
Why don't you just go home?
'Cause you're drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
I left my heart open
But you didn't understand
But you didn't understand

Go fix yourself

I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life

good day

so you dont want to hear about my good song?
and you dont want to hear about how i am getting on
with all the things that i can get done
the sun is in the sky & i am by my lonesome
so you don't want to hear about my good day?
you have better things to do than to hear me say

god its been a lovely day! everything is going my way
i took out the trash today and i'm on fire...

so you don't want to hear about my good friends?
you dont have the guts to take the truth or consequence
success is in the eye of the beholder
and its looking even better over your cold shoulder

i'm not suggesting you up and line me up for questioning
but jesus think about the bridges you are burning
and i'm betting
that even though you knew it from the start
you'd rather be a bitch than be an ordinary broken heart

so go ahead and talk about your bad day...
i want all the details of the pain and misery
that you are inflicting on the others
i consider them my sisters and i'd like their numbers <-- love that :)

god its been a lovely day! everything is going my way
i took up croquet today and i'm on fire

i picked up the pieces of my broken ego
i have finally made my peace as far as you and me go
but i'd love to have you up to see the place
& i'd like to do more than survive i'd like to rub it in your face.....

hey! its been a lovely day! everything is going my way
i had so much fun today and i'm on fire
god it's been a lovely day everything's been going my way
ever since you went away hey i'm on fire.....
i'm on fire...
i'm on fire...
so you dont want to hear about my good day?

When I read about all of the dysfunctional relationships with Ns
putting us in N-fogs and then their hoovering and causing us to
forget about No Contact, it's sad and I think of this song:

My Life Would Suck Without You
(sung by Kelly Clarkson)

Guess this means you're sorry
You're standing at my door
Guess this means you take back
All you said before
Like how much you wanted
Anyone but me
Said you'd never come back
But here you are again

'Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you

Maybe I was stupid for telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong for tryin' to pick a fight
I know that I've got issues
But you're pretty messed up too
Either way, I found out I'm nothing without you

'Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you

Being with you
Is so dysfunctional
I really shouldn't miss you
But I can’t let you go
Oh yeah

'Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you

'Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you

dazzled duck, you are too cool for knowing the song good day! i love that song too!

When I first heard 'Going under' by evanescence. Listen to the lyrics, you'll see what I mean.
Everybodys fool by Evanescence is another one, though I think the singer Amy lee meant it in a different way.......
Come to mention alot of her songs are about suffering - Bring me to life....etc.

All on utube with lyrics as you listen

Radiohead - Just
You do it to yourself you do, and that's why it really hurts,
You do it to yourself it's true, you and no one else...

This song keeps me strong. N's are responsible for the life they choose, just like I am responsible for the people that I let into my life. We all have a choice so it is inncorrect to blame your problems on anyone else but you!

This one's got to be about N parents, don't you think?

Can't Win by Richard Thompson

http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp& ... 94030d2d34

I started to cry, they put gin in my cup
I started to crawl, and they swaddled me up
I got up and run, they said "Easy, son,
Play up, play the game"

They told me to think and forget what I'd heard
They told me to lie and they questioned my word
They told me to fail, better sink than sail,
Just play the game

Oh, towers will tumble and locusts will visit the land
Oh, a curse on your house and your children and the fruit of your hand

They said "You can't win. You can't win.
You sweat blood. You give in.
You can't win. You can't win.
Turn the cheek. Take it on the chin.
Don't you dare do this. Don't you dare do that"
We shoot down dreams, we stiletto in the back
Oh the nerve of some people, the nerve of some people,
The nerve of some
I don't know who you think you are, who you think you are

Oh what kind of mother would hamstring her sons?
Throw sand in their eyes and put ice on their tongues
Ah better to leave than stay here and grieve
And play the game

Don't waken the dead as you sleepwalk around
If you have a dream, brother, hush, not a sound
Just stand there and rust, die if you must
But play the game

Oh, if we can't have it, why should a wretch like you?
Oh, it was drilled in our heads, now we drill it into your head too.

They said "You can't win. You can't win.
You sweat blood. You give in.
You can't win. You can't win.
Turn the cheek. Take it on the chin.
Don't you dare do this. Don't you dare do that"
We shoot down dreams, we stiletto in the back
Oh, the nerve of some people, the nerve of some people,
The nerve of some people
I don't know who you think you are
The nerve of some people, the nerve of some people
The nerve of some people, the nerve of some people

This was always a good one for folks struggling to get out. I couldn't listen to this song for a very long time...

Sarah McLachlan
Surfacing (1997)
Do What You Have To Do

What ravages of spirit
conjured this temptuous rage
created you a monster
broken by the rules of love
and fate has led you through it
you do what you have to do
and fate has led you through it
you do what you have to do ...
And I have the sense to recognize that
I don't know how to let you go
every moment marked
with apparitions of your soul
I'm ever swiftly moving
trying to escape this desire
the yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
the yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
but I have the sense to recognize
That I don't know how
to let you go
I don't know how
to let you go
A glowing ember
burning hot
burning slow
deep within I'm shaken by the violence
of existing for only you
I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do
I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do
and I have sense to recognize but
I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go

Of course, we can never go without the Foos. This one is for the male survivors:

Foo Fighters
Stacked Actors
Album: There is Nothing Left to Lose

Oh mirror mirror, you're coming in clear,
I'm finally somewhere in between.
I'm impressed, what a beautiful chest,
I never meant to make a big scene.
Will you resign to the latest design,
You look so messy when you dress up in dreams.
One more for hire, a wonderful liar,
I think it's time that I should come clean.

Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters,
Line up the bastards all I want is the truth.

Hey, hey now, can you fake it,
Can you make it look like we won.
Hey, hey now, can you take it,
And we cry when they all die blonde.

God bless, what a sensitive mess,
Yeah, but things aren't always what they seem.
Your teary eyes, your famous disguise,
Never knowing who to believe.
See through, yeah but what do you do,
When you're just another aging drag queen.

Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters,
Line up the bastards all I want is the truth.

Hey, hey now, can you fake it,
Can you make it look like we won.
Hey, hey now, can you take it,
And we cry when they all die blonde.

Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters,
Line up all the bastards all I want is the truth.

Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters,
Line up all the bastards and we cry when they all die blonde.

Hey, hey now, can you fake it,
Can you make it look like we won.
Hey, hey now, can you take it,
And we cry when they all die blonde.

Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters,
Line up all the bastards all I want is the truth.
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters,
Line up the bastards...

Cry when they all die blonde.

Of course, I always mention Joey Cape/Lagwagon. I don't like how the song ends, but man, I relate when I was leaving and the pain of the confusion. My exN was a sailor. Go figure.

Joey Cape/Lagwagon
Wind in Your Sails
Album: Bridge

It's negative
I wish you the worst dear,
to feel the greatest pain a positive
you say it's all in vain I know I felt,
and i won't feel again
I know you

Hours of madness
Years of dysfunction
The deepest embitterment
No will to strive or achieve
Finally in breakdown
Perpetual fall on your knees
As you crawl back to me

It ends like this
I can hope for bliss
if you fail again
'cause i'm right here
to witness every step
and when you trip
I will cherish it

Hours of madness
Years of dysfunction
The deepest embitterment
No will to strive or achieve
Finally in breakdown
Perpetual fall on your knees
As you crawl back to me

I live to watch you fail
I live to watch you fail
I live to watch you fail
I am the wind in your sail

I wish you the worst dear
to feel the greatest pain
'cause i'm right here
to retrieve all you stole
every tear and everything you own
i wish you...

Hours of madness
Years of dysfunction
The deepest embitterment
no will to trust anyone
this is how i lived
this is how you left me blue
and I'd crawl back to you
