Describe an ex with a song

An oldie, but goodie

"You Give Love A Bad Name" by Bon Jovi

Shot through the heart and you're to blame
Darling, you give love a bad name

An angel's smile is what you sell
You promised me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison, you can't break free

Whoa, you're a loaded gun, yeah
Oh, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me, the damage is done

Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
Yeah, you give love a bad name

Paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye

Whoa, you're a loaded gun
Oh, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me, the damage is done

Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
You give love a—

Oh, shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (Bad name)

Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (Bad name)

You give love
You give love, bad name
You give love
You give love, bad name
You give love
You give love, bad name
You give love
You give love, bad name
 
This song tore me apart when it was sent to me and again when I realized it didn't mean anything. Now, it is the benchmark of how far I've come and not letting my emotions control me. I can listen to it for the beautiful, love-filled song that it is and appreciate and enjoy it without hurt.
 
I spent the last 45 minutes searching through my library to find the perfect song to describe my ex. I had a wonderful moment of realisation as I decided I was done searching... I don't have a song for my ex because I don't have strong positive or negative feelings towards him anymore. What a wonderful weight to feel lift from my heart 🖤

So here's a good breakup song, in my opinion.
Fast Car - Tracy Chapman
🎶I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me'd find it
I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere
Take your fast car and keep on drivin
g🎶

Except it's my fast car and I'll keep driving and paying all the bills and keep hoping for better 🖤
 
I used to sing this while hanging washing in the backyard, but usually when I pissed off at him for refusing to acknowledge how much he had going for him. If I had half the opportunities he had...


I used to finish that sentence with "I'd be so far ahead of where I am"

Now I finish it with "I wouldn't have the opportunities I have now."
