Person’s Story
I would love to get an upbeat song telling someone that I love them still and I believe we are supposed to be together. We started hanging out 18 months ago, I fell in love fast though I wasn't looking for love at the time. He had been hurt pretty badly in his last relationship and wasn't ready for a relationship. I had just ended a long marriage so didn't want to start anything right away, but I'm not the type that would push love away either. We decided to stay friends and just hang out. After a little over a year we decided to give a relationship a try. He ended it after a month and a half because he said that I was putting more into the relationship than he was and it wasn't fair to me. He said that I was the nicest person he has ever dated and he didn't want to hurt me but he wanted that spark and he didn't feel it. I think he was just afraid because things were starting to get real. Within 3 weeks of him breaking up with me we were right back to hanging out "friends with benefits". I think he is afraid to admit to having feelings because he is afraid to get hurt again. But he can't seem to let go and I don't want to let go. He is a great guy! He is funny, easy going, a great father, always looking at the bright side of things, and always trying to improve himself. I ride with him every Sunday for his work and we are in the car for anywhere from 5-7 hours and it is my favorite part of the week! When we are driving he will just randomly break out singing or dancing and it is the cutest thing ever. It makes me smile every time. He has this grin that would literally make me do anything. I even listen to and watch football for him! I have felt so much more with him in these 18 months than I did throughout my previous 19 year relationship. We have fun no matter where we are or what we are doing. We have been able to be ourselves around each other since day 1. It was never awkward. I would rather take a chance and get hurt again with him than just give up and move on. My friends and family all think that I'm crazy for putting up with him still, but I just know that he needs someone that is willing to wait for him to work through his issues from his past relationship. I try to be patient but sometimes it gets hard. His name is ….. but I call him Perky (if you could squeeze perky into the song that would be great, it doesn't have to be as a name but just a word). If you need more information please let me know, I wasn't sure what to share.
Lyrics
You’ve been hurt, but your not dead
Life is too short not to take a chance
I want you to jump and dive right in
Don’t be afraid to start sinkin
Breathe in breathe out
Take a deep breath
And fall into all of your insecurities and doubts
Trap me in a car with you
6-7 hours yes that will do
I tried not to fall
But I fell so hard for you
We tried to take to the next level
Dug a hole and you held the shovel
Now were back but not together
Friends with benefits, Never say Never
You’ve been hurt, but your dead
Life is too short not to take a chance
I want you to jump and dive right in
Don’t be afraid to start sinkin
Breathe in breathe out
Take a deep breath
And fall into all of your insecurities and doubts
Wipe that perky grin off your face
You know I’m weak my heart starts to race
Where’s this going I don’t want to chase
Lets take a leap, and just have some faith
Family says I’m crazy
You say your not ready
I’m sick and tired of waiting
For Something that just might be nothing
You’ve been hurt, but your not dead
Life is too short not to take a chance
I want you to jump and dive right in
Don’t be afraid to start sinkin
Breathe in breathe out
Take a deep breath
And fall into all of your insecurities and doubts
