This bitter pill I swallow
Is the silence that I keep
It poisons me I can't swim free
The river is too deep
Though I'm baptized by your touch
I am no worse than most
In love with your ghost

Gets me every time.


One of the best songs, ever. Sigh. Love the Indigo Girls. Better lyrics by a mile than anyone else who has ever written a song.

I cannot imagine. I am so sorry. I full on cry to that song if I let it play--usually I have to change the channel (at just the thought of losing a child).


I'm so sorry for your loss, PP.

The House that Built Me, Miranda Lambert. I cry every time. I think about all the time spent at my grandparents' house and the memories we made there.

I'm so sorry about your sister.

Can't listen to either song without tearing up.


Add to that - the Johnny Cash version of Hurt.
