​I could of been in love if it wasn't for you

You touched my heart but it wasn't real My soul was showing and you left it out in the cold

​I could of been in love if it wasn't for you

I could of been in love if it wasn't for you

You don't care no more

You aren't here no more

And I just want to know what I did wrong

I hate those nights...

Those nights when I lay awake wondering if you're thinking of me too

Wondering if I want you back...

Well I do

You weren't just some other guy, you were a fairy tale from another time

I swear I could of been in love if it wasn't for you

I called you last week

But you didn't answer

Then last night you left me a message and I deleted it

Because I didn't realize until then that I needed to pull the knife out and take care of this wound we called love

Goodbye love and say hello to loneliness

You weren't some other guy but I could of been in love if it wasn't for you

Without you I feel free

I am waiting for tomorrow where I can move on completely

If it wasn't for you I could of been in love by now

I was a different person before I met you

I was happy and carefree

And once you came into my life I was so afraid of losing you I lost myself

I gave you everything and now there is nothing left for me

If it wasn't for you I would be in love

You touched my heart but it wasn't real

My soul was showing and you left it out in the cold

I was a queen a royal bitch but you made me a peasant nothing more than a speck drifting in your world

I would be in love if it wasn't for you

I've been thinking of you

Thinking of the times we had together

Thinking of all of the laughs we shared

But also the tears we both shed

For a moment I missed what we were I wanted to be with you once more

In the beginning I didn't want romance only to have someone there when I came home at night

But you made me crazy

Always questioning myself

you weren't like the other guys but I know if it wasn't for you I could of been in love instead of thinking of you

You showed me love that wasn't real

Containing yourself so you seemed sincere

When I was trying to hold you close you were pushing me away

For some reason I was tethered to you

no matter where you went I followed

No matter what you did I was right behind you

If it wasn't for you I would be in the arms of the one that I love

I wish I could go back to the day before I met you so you would of never had the chance to hurt me

It kills me to admit that I did love you

Not because I lost you but because you never loved me back

But if it wasn't for you I would of never loved

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
