When there is nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire.

Hi -

Recently the song 'Your Ex-Lover is Dead' was brought to my attention on Facebook and I'm obsessed with it, obsessed I tell you. I've already listened to it 5 times today, and I've googled the band to see what other songs they have to see if I might enjoy them as well. There is something so hauntingly beautiful about it. The video is pretty good as well.

It doesn't really apply to me seeing as how its about lost love and things, but nonetheless I love it. There are just some really great lyrics in it. - "Live through this, and you won't look back..."

Just wanted to share.

Love you forever, miss you always.

God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before'
In that instant it started to pour,
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of the time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name...

This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
Tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in
Now you're outside me
You see all the beauty
Repent all your sin

It's nothing but time and a face that you lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard
I'll send you the news
From a house down the road from real love...

Live through this, and you won't look back...
Live through this, and you won't look back...
Live through this, and you won't look back...

There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted
I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save

I'm not sorry there's nothing to save...
