You Love Me (2012-04-04)

First of all great song I was going to blog about the entire album because there is so many good tracks on it, Kelly Clarkson’s Stronger album is sick. I mean the title song Stronger, You Love Me, Einstein, The Sun Will Rise, Alone, Hello, You Can’t Win, Breaking Your Own Heart I think all of them are great. I chose this one because I read the title and thought awe a love song or ballad NO, it is empowering and loud and raw. The lyrics are amazing of course I goggled them; it is great to listen to a song like this at this moment. She talks about the parallel of dating someone and how they try to make you seem dumb or less then you are when it’s clear that it’s them. 
She says about the song "Sometimes people get really confused on what the idea of love really means."In the song she goes…

You say, I'm not good enough, I'm not good enough

But what you really mean is,

You're not good enough, you're not good enough

You can't deliver so you turn it around

[Chorus]

You didn't let me down, you didn't tear me apart

You just opened my eyes, while breaking my heart

You didn't do it for me I'm not as dumb as you think,

 You just made me cry While claiming that you love me

You love me, you love me

You said you loved me

but that I'm not good enough, i'm not good enough

Amazing I know and if you don’t think so that’s fine I am not the one to judge. My roomie put me up on this song cause I heard it but I was in love with Einstein then he said play this and thousands of plays later both on my laptop and headphones I blogged about it. I love it; it must suck to be with someone that manipulates your love or plays the poor me card to keep you. Let me say this is in no way about me LOL cause most of them are but this one is about the song I fell in love with it and the words and the meaning I got from it. Like the end of the verse trying to make you feel less to make them more or places blame on you when it is actually them. In the chorus she finds the power or the meaning of this awful relationship “You didn’t tear me apart, you just opened my eyes while breaking my heart.” I love that line because most people think in a bad situation that there is no silver lining, light at the end of the tunnel, or purpose in that bad situation and she says exactly what the lesson learned is, You didn’t tear me apart but you did open my eyes while breaking my heart. The best part is the heart can mend and over time and recovery it will be stronger then before that is why I love the phoenix every time it dies it rises stronger than before. In the end of the track she kind of repeats the chorus but she switches it up with this:

You just made me cry While claiming that you love me

You love me, you love me

You said you loved me

But the TRUTH is that your not good enough, your not good enough

Great way to end the song just in case they thought you were damaged by what they said BAM, Got’em your good. I think the song is amazing I will say it again IT, lol no seriously there are men and woman out there who bend the world to their reality so they feel Superior and more while thinking you less. How do you know? I have no idea I am not a therapist but I will say in experience when you start apologizing for being you it’s time to think about the situation you are in. Promises not met, dates forgotten, things over looked for you, but for them it is the end of the world if you miss anything. It’s a sad day when you wake up feeling as if that person doesn’t really care or that your lives aren’t on the same path.  Like she sings “you can’t deliver so you turn it around” it happens I know that to be true, when you’re made to feel like you’re wrong when you know that isn’t the case I know something is off. Love is not all it takes at the end of the day you need some compassion, understanding, compromise, and trust if those things are missing your screwed and you will feel trapped in an emotionless situation. You got to pick your battles and learn that not everything will work that life isn’t going to giving you lemonade all the time sometimes you get lemons it’s what you do with them that defines who you are, and the caliber of person you want to be. I guess in the interest of finishing this thought I will go “No man or woman is worth your tears, but the one who is will never make you make cry sad tears.”  There is ups and downs in relationships but when the bad outweighs the good RUN, just because they say they love you doesn’t mean they aren’t really saying “You’re Not Good Enough”.
