Robyn 'Be Mine'. Chorus includes the lyrics 'You never were & you never will be mine'. Could see it that way as the BPD person or the non I guess? Title: Re: Songs of the BPD Relationship Post by: jambley on July 20, 2017, 05:22:03 PM Madonna "borderline"

I don't know if I can yell any louder How many time I've kicked you outta here? Or said something insulting? I can be so mean when I wanna be I am capable of really anything I can cut you into pieces When my heart is, broken Please don't leave me Please don't leave me I'm always saying how I don't need you But it's always gonna come right back to this Please, don't leave me How did I become so obnoxious? What is it with you that makes me act like this? I've never been this nasty Can't you tell that this is all just a contest? The one that wins will be the one that hits the hardest But baby I don't mean it I mean it, I promise Please don't leave me Please don't leave me I'm always saying how I don't need you But it's always gonna come right back to this Please, don't leave me I forgot to say out loud how beautiful you really are to me I can't be without, you're my perfect little punching bag And I need you, I'm sorry. Please, please don't leave me Baby, please don't leave me No, don't leave me Please don't leave me I'm always saying how I don't need you But it's always gonna come right back, It's gonna come right back to this. Please, don't leave me. I always say how I don't need you But it's always gonna come right back to this Please don't leave me Baby, please don't leave me "Somebody I used to know"-Gotye [Verse 1: Gotye] Now and then I think of when we were together Like when you said you felt so happy you could die Told myself that you were right for me But felt so lonely in your company But that was love and it's an ache I still remember [Verse 2: Gotye] You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness Like resignation to the end, always the end So when we found that we could not make sense Well you said that we would still be friends But I'll admit that I was glad it was over [Chorus: Gotye] But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing And I don't even need your love But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough No you didn't have to stoop so low Have your friends collect your records and then change your number I guess that I don't need that though Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now you're just somebody that I used to know Title: Re: Songs of the BPD Relationship Post by: SurvivingBPDex on July 20, 2017, 11:13:27 PM Unsteady X Ambassador.

Title: Re: Songs of the BPD Relationship Post by: Harley Quinn on July 21, 2017, 06:39:53 AM From the perspective of my ex, who used to use songs to describe how he was feeling inside, one he used to play over and over was Ellie Goulding - Still falling for you. I think in idealisation stages we both could relate to this one.
"Still Falling For You" Fire and ice This love is like fire and ice This love is like rain and blue skies This love is like sun on the rise This love got me rolling the dice Don't let me lose Still falling for you Still falling for you Beautiful mind Your heart got a story with mine Your heart got me hurting at times Your heart gave me new kind of highs Your heart got me feeling so fine So what to do Still falling for you Still falling for you It took us a while With every breath a new day With love on the line We've had our share of mistakes But all your flaws and scars are mine Still falling for you Still falling for you And just like that All I breathe All I feel You are all for me I'm in And just like that All I breathe All I feel You are all for me No one can lift me, catch me the way that you do I'm still falling for you Brighter than gold This love shining brighter than gold This love is like letters in bold This love is like out of control This love's never growing old You make it new Still falling for you Still falling for you It took us a while 'Cause we were young and unsure With love on the line What if we both would need more But all your flaws and scars are mine Still falling for you Still falling for you Still falling for you And just like that All I breathe All I feel You are all for me I'm in And just like that All I breathe All I feel You are all for me No one can lift me, catch me the way that you do I'm still falling for you Falling, crash into my arms Love you like this Like a first kiss Never let go Falling, crash into my arms Never breaking what we got Still falling for you Still falling for... . And just like that All I breathe All I feel You are all for me I'm in And just like that All I breathe All I feel You are all for me All for me And just like that All I need is you All I feel is you You are all for me I'm still falling... . And just like that All I need is you All I feel is you You are all for me No one can lift me, catch me the way that you do I'm still falling for you At the end of the r/s this is what he sent me a video of on Youtube. Queen - Love of my life: "Love Of My Life" Love of my life, you've hurt me, You've broken my heart and now you leave me. Love of my life can't you see, Bring it back, bring it back, Don't take it away from me because you don't know what it means to me. Love of my life, don't leave me, [Album version:] You've taken my love, you now desert me, [Live version:] You've stolen my love, you now desert me, Love of my life, can't you see? Bring it back, bring it back, Don't take it away from me because you don't know what it means to me. You will remember When this is blown over And everything's all by the way When I grow older I will be there at your side to remind you how I still love you, I still love you. [Album version:] Back, hurry back, [Live version:] Hurry back, hurry back, [Album version:] Please, bring it back home to me because you don't know what it means to me. [Live version:] Don't take it away from me, because you don't know what it means to me - Love of my life Love of my life... .

Well here it goes again Another losing streak Guess I'm on a roll I haven't got a chance I'm too weak She sucks my soul And this St Christopher That hangs around my neck Has got to be a fake 'Cause I crash every time The same old wreck The same mistake And I make a mental note so I don't forget A little reminder of what hasn't happened yet Well maybe she's bad for me But I don't care to see 'Cause what I want and what I need Are the same to me In the end And there is a voice in my head saying no But my mouth says yes I should stop I know but I really wanna go it's okay I guess And I've played with fire so many times before Guess I'll never learn Just like an addict I keep coming back for more Come to love that burn And I make a mental note so I don't forget A Little reminder of what hasn't happened yet Well maybe she's bad for me (Bad for me) But I don't care to see 'Cause what I want and what I need (What I need) Are the same to me Well maybe she's bad for me (Bad for me) But I don't care to see 'Cause what I want and what I need (What I need) Are the same to me There is a feeling that I get deep in my gut But I pay no mind Instinct out of sync but so what Love is blind And I make a mental note so I don't forget A Little reminder of what hasn't happened yet She's gonna be the death of me Here it comes again The only leaf left on the tree And blowing in the wind Well maybe she's bad for me (Bad for me) But I don't care to see 'Cause what I want and what I need (What I need) Are the same to me In the end In the end Title: Re: Songs of the BPD Relationship Post by: OptimusRhyme on July 24, 2017, 11:44:19 AM I was reticent to post this cuz it feels a little too self interest and ego, but if it helps anyone to hear the way it helped me to write - a musical project I'm in has a song about BPD experiences. It's "The Caption - Crutch".
When you pack your bags, I hope you leave what's mine. It happened way too fast, Love is always blind. So many ways around the truth, All of these ways lead back to you, Don't be afraid to follow through. Don't be afraid to cut me loose. I was looking for a lover, You were looking for a crutch. I've had the music and the moonshine, I need a woman I can trust. We were dancing with the devil, Oh, my feet could only take so much. I was looking for a lover, You were looking for a crutch. No, we can't go back, To the mess we made. But it'd be so much worse, If the story changed. Come on and own the hand you played, I know you never meant to stay, I'm not so good at faking love, I know damn well we made it up. I was looking for a lover, Oh, but you were looking for a crutch. I've had the music and the moonshine, I need a woman I can trust. We were dancing with the devil, My feet could only take so much. I was looking for a lover, You were looking for a crutch. I am filled, with jealousy and wildness. And I want you to be happy, But I cannot fix your sadness. The rules we broke, the plans we made, The fights we had and the blood we gave, Yeah I know that it was madness, But sometimes I miss the madness. I was looking for a lover, Oh, but you were looking for a crutch. I've had the music and the moonshine, I need a woman I can trust. We were dancing with the devil, I think we both have had enough. I was looking for a lover, You were looking for a crutch. Title: Re: Songs of the BPD Relationship Post by: CarlJungJr on July 24, 2017, 12:01:07 PM Bob Dylan - Don't Think Twice, It's Alright

[Verse 1] The day breaks, your mind aches You find that all her words of kindness linger on When she no longer needs you She wakes up, she makes up She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry She no longer needs you [Chorus] And in her eyes you see nothing No sign of love behind her tears Cried for no one A love that should have lasted years [Verse 2] You want her, you need her And yet you don't believe her when she says her love is dead You think she needs you [Chorus] And in her eyes you see nothing No sign of love behind her tears Cried for no one A love that should have lasted years [Verse 3] You stay home, she goes out She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone She doesn't need him Your day breaks, your mind aches There will be times when all the things she said will fill your head You won't forget her [Chorus] And in her eyes you see nothing No sign of love behind her tears Cried for no one A love that should have lasted years Title: Re: Songs of the BPD Relationship Post by: Less than nothin on May 25, 2022, 07:01:47 AM Wounds fresh tear the scabs off again one more time,

It's never enough to say I'm sorry It's never enough to say I care But I'm caught between what you wanted from me And knowing if I give that to ya I might just disappear Nobody wins when everyone's losing It's like one step forward and two steps back No matter what I do you're always mad, and I, I can't change your mind It's like trying to turn around on a one-way street I can't give you what you want and it's killing me And I, I'm starting to see Maybe we're not meant to be It's never enough to say "I love you" No, it's never enough to say I try It's hard to believe that there's no way out for you and me It seems to be the story of our life Nobody wins when everyone's losing It's like one step forward and two steps back No matter what I do you're always mad, and I, I can't change your mind It's like trying to turn around on a one way street I can't give you what you want and it's killing me And I, I'm starting to see Maybe we're not meant to be There's still time to turn this around Should we be building this up instead of tearing it down?

Narcissist Song by Avery Anna Lyrics Out of touch with my feelings I can't help it if I'm happy or sad Today I cried for no reason Made me feel like a psychopath I should hate you 'cause I love you You should hate yourself for treating me like that We both know you only love you Did you know they have a name for that? You say that I'm crazy You say that you're sorry Won't happen again You say I'm dramatic I'm overreacting And maybe I am And I know you'll get over me But can you get over yourself? Before you go and love somebody else You should probably get some help My parents don't like you Why would they want to? After they found me crying on the bathroom floor I don't even like me anymore 'Cause you say that I'm crazy You say that you're sorry Won't happen again You say I'm dramatic I'm overreacting And maybe I am And I know you'll get over me But can you get over yourself? Before you go and love somebody else You should probably get some help You lose your voice when you yell too much Don't say you love me until you mess up Phone calls past twelve o'clock, wanting me back Don't you know that they got a name for that? You say that I'm crazy You say that you're sorry Won't happen again You say I'm dramatic I'm overreacting And maybe I am And I know you'll get over me But can you get over yourself?

Barely Breathing Duncan Sheik I know what you're doing I see it all too clear I only taste the saline When I kiss away your tears You really had me goin' Wishin' on a star The black holes that surround you Are heavier by far I believed in your confusion You were so completely torn It must've been that yesterday Was the day that I was born There's not much to examine There's nothing left to hide You really can't be serious If you have to ask me why I say goodbye 'Cause I am barely breathing And I can't find the air I don't know who I'm kidding Imagining you care And I could stand here waiting A fool for another day I don't suppose it's worth the price And worth the price, the price that I would pay And everyone keeps asking, "What's it all about?" I used to be so certain and I can't figure out What is this attraction? I only feel the pain There's nothing left to reason and only you to blame Will it ever change? 'Cause I am barely breathing And I can't find the air I don't know who I'm kidding Imagining you care And I could stand here waiting A fool for another day I don't suppose it's worth the price And worth the price, the price that I would pay But I'm thinking it over anyway I'm thinking it over anyway I've come to find I may never know Your changing mind Is it friend or foe? I rise above Or sink below With every time You come and go Please don't Come and go 'Cause I am barely breathing And I can't find the air I don't know who I'm kidding Imagining you care And I could stand here waiting A fool for another day I don't suppose it's worth the price And worth the price, the price that I would pay But I'm thinking it over anyway I'm thinking it over anyway And I know what you're doin' I see it all too clear Title: Re: Songs of the BPD Relationship Post by: AlienGoat on June 07, 2022, 01:12:23 PM There are quite a few that come to mind and so I won't be posting any lyrics, just song titles:
From a more BPD sufferer perspective: Imminence - Saturated Soul nothing, nowhere - deadbeat valentine (my ex used to play that regularly when we got back together) Nico Collins - Hate Me From the perspective of someone who has a BPD ex they are still in love with or who they have gone back to for it to fail again like me: Ed Sheehan - Bad Habits Illenium - Story of my Life All Time Low, Demi Lovato - Monsters In Flames - Stay with Me There are definitely some I am forgetting Title: Re: Songs of the BPD Relationship Post by: Every day on June 07, 2022, 03:13:25 PM The are so many times that my I’m dealing with my husband’s dysfunctional behaviors that this song pops into my head (as if from the individual with BPD’s perspective)
Never Enough from The Greatest Showman I'm trying to hold my breath Let it stay this way Can't let this moment end You set off a dream in me Getting louder now Can you hear it echoing? Take my hand Will you share this with me? 'Cause darling, without you All the shine of a thousand spotlights All the stars we steal from the night sky Will never be enough Never be enough Towers of gold are still too little These hands could hold the world but it'll Never be enough Never be enough For me Never, never Never, never Never, for me For me Never enough Never enough Never enough For me For me For me All the shine of a thousand spotlights All the stars we steal from the night sky Will never be enough Never be enough Towers of gold are still too little These hands could hold the world but it'll Never be enough Never be enough For me Never, never Never, never Never, for me For me Never enough Never, never Never enough Never, never Never enough For me Title: Re: Songs of the BPD Relationship Post by: badknees1 on February 07, 2023, 02:10:45 AM WHY by Annie Lennox also perhaps
NO MORE I LOVE YOUs by Lennox Title: Re: Songs of the BPD Relationship Post by: MamaLife222 on July 06, 2023, 09:07:15 PM Ok, as someone who fell in love with someone that had severe BPD as well as several other conditions, I relate to this song the most. I find this song healing since I was the one addicted to his push pull and that massive dopamine spike he’d give me to try his best for me not to leave him. He was like spicy food but it was an unhealthy unstable untrusting love with so many more downs than ups. He was void-filling from emotional abuse from my mom, made worse since she loved him and us together because he didn't show the angry side of himself to anyone else.
He was the most depressed/upset/offended with deaths, loss of friendship or fear of loss of friendship/love. I am fairly sure I was the only one to ever date him so far and he’s 41 years old. This song is for you, when I ran and couldn’t talk to you anymore afraid I’d get trapped again its too painful feeling your feels. I wish I could have convinced you to get treatment. I wish I didn’t give into your suicidal threats, burning and cutting to see me again. I was too young and too addicted to you not understanding mental health. I wish you didn’t avoid all the issues we had, and instead change horrible behaviors even just a little. I loved you so much I wrote you love poems and said I said no to all the other boys asking me out when I was with you. No one ever took me from you, I ran. I love you and I miss you but “I am sorry” over and over can never ever undo the trauma you did to me. I can never even talk to you again. Thank you for staying away and angry its been an amazing gift. Just Like a Pill by Pink I'm lyin' here on the floor where you left me I think I took too much I'm crying here, what have you done? I thought it would be fun I can't stay on your life support There's a shortage in the switch I can't stay on your morphine 'Cause it's making me itch I said I tried to call the nurse again But she's being a little bitch I think I'll get outta here, where I can Run just as fast as I can To the middle of nowhere To the middle of my frustrated fears And I swear you're just like a pill 'Stead of makin' me better You keep makin' me ill You keep makin' me ill I haven't moved from the spot where you left me This must be a bad trip All of the other pills, they were different Maybe I should get some help I can't stay on your life support There's a shortage in the switch I can't stay on your morphine 'Cause it's making me itch I said I tried to call the nurse again But she's being a little bitch I think I'll get outta here, where I can Run just as fast as I can To the middle of nowhere To the middle of my frustrated fears And I swear you're just like a pill 'Stead of makin' me better You keep makin' me ill You keep makin' me ill Run just as fast as I can To the middle of nowhere To the middle of my frustrated fears And I swear you're just like a pill 'Stead of makin' me better You keep makin' me ill You keep makin' me ill I can't stay on your life support There's a shortage in the switch (just like a pill) I can't stay on your morphine 'Cause it's making me itch (just like a pill) I said I tried to call the nurse again But she's being a little bitch (just like a pill) I think I'll get outta here, where I can Run just as fast as I can To the middle of nowhere To the middle of my frustrated fears And I swear you're just like a pill 'Stead of makin' me better You keep makin' me ill You keep makin' me Run just as fast as I can To the middle of nowhere To the middle of my frustrated fears And I swear you're just like a pill 'Stead of makin' me better You keep makin' me ill You keep makin' me ill Run just as fast as I can To the middle of nowhere To the middle of my frustrated fears And I swear you're just like a pill 'Stead of makin' me better You keep makin' me ill You keep makin' me ill Run just as fast as I can To the middle of nowhere To the middle of my frustrated fears Title: Re: Songs of the BPD Relationship Post by: OKrunch on July 07, 2023, 10:05:15 AM Always a Woman to Me - Billy Joel
She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies And she only reveals what she wants you to see She hides like a child but she's always a woman to me She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you She can ask for the truth but she'll never believe you And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free Yeah, she steals like a thief, but she's always a woman to me Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants She's ahead of her time Oh, and she never gives out and she never gives in She just changes her mind And she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding But she'll bring out the best and the worst you can be Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's always a woman to me Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants She's ahead of her time Oh, and she never gives out and she never gives in She just changes her mind She is frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel But she can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool And she can't be convicted, she's earned her degree And the most she will do is throw shadows at you But she's always a woman to me Title: Re: Songs of the BPD Relationship Post by: OKrunch on July 07, 2023, 10:06:56 AM "Dirty Magic" By: The Offspring
In my own simple way I think she wants me only She said, "Come over right away" But she's just not that way Her little soul is stolen See her put on her brand new face Go on and pull the shades Razor blades You're so tragic Go on, I hate you so But love you more I'm so elastic Of all the things you say The games you play Dirty magic stuff I should know better than to think I'd reach inside her It's all a cloudy kind of daze She's not so sweet today She mocks me, I'm no fighter It all just seems like such a waste Go on and pull the shades Razor blades You're so tragic Go on, I hate you so But love you more I'm so elastic Of all the things you say The games you play Dirty magic stuff It's oversimplified It's oversimplified It's oversimplified Go on and pull the shades Razor blades You're so tragic Go on, I hate you so But love you more I'm so elastic Of all the things you say The games you play Dirty magic stuff Title: Re: Songs of the BPD Relationship Post by: StartingHealing on July 17, 2023, 11:44:44 AM I've recently ran across Sleep Token. Not really a specific track by them, it seems to me that the majority of their catalog has connotations to being in a relationship with a BPD.
Title: Re: Songs of the BPD Relationship Post by: Biggus on July 19, 2023, 11:11:49 PM I've always thought Nick Cave's "When I first came to town" is not really about becoming disillusioned with places, but a rough and fascinating, almost opera-like song about a guy who feels like he's doomed to meet BPD types only, and in time has become fearful and hate-filled.
When I first came to town All the people gathered round They bought me drinks Oh Lord, how they quickly changed their tune When I first came to town People took me round from end to end Like someone may take around a friend Oh how quickly they changed their tune Suspicion and dark murmurs surround me Everywhere I go they confound me As though the blood on my hands Is there for every citizen to see Oh sweet Jesus There is no turning back There is always one more town A little further down the track And from my window, across the tracks I watch the juicers burn their fires And in that light Their faces leer at me How I wish they'd just let me be When I first came to town Their favors were for free Now even the doors of the whores of this town Are closed to me I search the mirror And I try to see I search the mirror And I try to see Why the people of this town Have washed their hands of me Oh sweet Jesus There is no turning back There is always one more town A little further down the track Oh lord, every goddamn turn I take I fear the noose, and I fear the stake For there ain't a bone They did not break In all the towns I've been before Well those that sin against me are snuffed out I know that from every day that I live Goddamn the day that I was born The night that forced me from the womb And goddamn this town For I am leaving now But one day I will return And the people of this town will surely see Just how quickly the tables turn Oh sweet Jesus This really is the end There is always one more town A little further round the bend Title: Re: Songs of the BPD Relationship Post by: badknees1 on February 05, 2024, 08:56:15 PM Turning Tables by Adele from loved one’s POV
