Hey Baby they're playing our song

I've recently started dating someone new. That's not to say that I'm completely over my ex. He knows that, and he's ok with it. He's so good to me and, I'm not going to lie, I really like having someone I can see everyday. I thought I couldn't be in a relationship with someone so close because they'd drive me crazy. I'm glad to know and admit I was wrong! This song list is in no way reflective of his musical tastes. As the relationship grows and progresses, I'm sure I'll be adding songs.

*Way Back Into Love- Music and Lyrics
I needed to find a way back into love. I have been hurt, hurt someone, and thought that I wouldn't find anyone any time soon. He's willing to help me make that transition.
*Mine- Taylor Swift
There's a line in there about "I remember we were sitting there by the water". We were sitting by the water when he first put his arm around me. We've come a long way since then.
*Crazier- Taylor Swift
I know I have two Taylor Swift songs. He drives me crazy but in the good way! I get the feelings this song talks about, the tone is the melody in my heart when he's around.
*Underneath Your Clothes- Shakira
I'm running out of reasons to cry. You are exactly what I need at this time; you are so good to me and I care about you as you are, who you are.
*Fireflies- Owl City
The night we first kissed, there were fireflies all around us. It was so incredibly romantic; I'm such a hopeless romantic. No matter how much I'm hurt in Love, I still believe in it.
*If I Fell- The Beatles
My favorite band. I guess this is actually a song for the both of us. We were initially so afraid of hurting each other, uncertain of the repercussions, the future.
*Halo- Beyonce
Baby I can see your halo, you know you're my saving grace. Remember those walls I built? They're tumbling down and they didn't even put up a fight. You're everything I need and more.
*Good Enough- Evanescence
I'm in the process of forgiving myself for my past sins and I guess I'm good enough that someone can love me, flaws, mistakes, and all.

Goodbye Love soundtrack

For the past few months I have slowly picked songs as a kind of goodbye soundtrack to my ex. I never pick the same songs for different guys, and I try and match the lyrics and mood to the circumstances. The songs range in styles from pop to musicals to country and ballads. They are in no particular order. Usually I include a little information about the songs, why I chose them etc. but I'm not going to do that this time. I can't really bring myself to open up here. Perhaps at a later time, I'll post the poems I wrote in the course of our 3 1/2 year relationship. No promises however.

Already Gone- Kelly Clarkson
Already Gone- Sugarland
Breathe- Taylor Swift ft Colbie Caillat
Big Girls Don't Cry- Fergie
How To Save A Life- The Fray
Forgive Me- Evanescence
Goodbye My Lover- James Blunt
More Than A Feeling- Boston
What I Did For Love- A Chorus Line
Unfaithful- Rhianna
I Told You So- Carrie Underwood and Randy Travis

A couple of these songs I actually didn't like when they came out, or quickly got tired of them soon after they came out due to excessive radio play. But now they have such meaning to me that I had to include them on the list.
