Story Behind The Song
Well, I really like this song because it parallels listening to heartbreak songs, with actually living them, which I think is unique. I also like it because it can be performed with either a female or male vocal.
Song Description
A sad, yet original heartbreak song with good dynamics, good lyrics and nice melody. Might be a classic with a good voice and tight instrumentation.

Lyrics
Heartbreak Songs
(Jason Rowe)
I?ve been so blue, as blue as someone can be,
Since you went away, I?ve known only misery,
Now I always find myself singing along,
With all those lonely, heartbreak songs,
I may seem silly, but I don?t really care,
The one I?m singing for, isn?t even here,
I turn up the radio until the music?s gone,
Then I look, for another one,
You said simply, we weren?t meant to be,
I said what does that mean, is it you or is it me?
Long summer days couldn?t keep you from moving on,
Now I?m here, living a heartbreak song,
When I come home, with a heavy head,
I hope your waiting there, lying in my bed,
I open the door to find another night alone,
Just me and my heartbreak songs,
Nothing I said, could make you realize,
No one looked as deep as me, into your eyes,
Still you turned away, and took my pride along,
Leaving me, with a heartbreak song
I?m my own shadow, but I still feel your near,
I can see your face, but can?t whisper in your ear,
My only hope is that your singing along,
With your own heartbreak songs
