The closest thing to crazy
How can I think I’m standing strong,
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep,
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?
CHORUS:
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
I was never crazy on my own:
And now I know that there’s a link between the two,
Being close to craziness and being close to you.
How can you make me fall apart
Then break my fall with loving lies?
It’s so easy to break a heart;
It’s so easy to close your eyes.
How can you treat me like a child
Yet like a child I yearn for you?
How can anyone feel so wild?
How can anyone feel so blue?
CHORUS
The song is sung by Katie Melua and was introed to me by Winnie. The first time I listened to it which is this afternoon, I almost tear-ed in the office. It brought back some memories that were some what sweet and sour. The song is just so, how you say true in so many ways, well at least to me.
It’s just so hard learning all the fundamental and experimenting with love, and then just to find out that it cuts deep and the would almost never heals. The scar that remains refreshes our memories of all the good times and also the not so good times. The way of life is just mystical and unpredictable.
We spend so much time, all our time, learning to love…
But in the end we learn that love hurts deeper than any physical hurt…
Is it all worth it, or is it not?

Love hurts more than physical hurt because love is an emotion. Everything that has to do with emotions and matters of the heart will hurt the most. There is no explanation for that because no one can ever toy around with people’s emotions. It’s really bad.
I’ve been hurt - emotionally before and obviously I know what it’s like. It’s really painful. Though the other party may not know about it or that person knew about it but decided to close an eye and shrug it off.
I would say that one should not let someone hurt their emotions though it’s unpredictable but prevention is better than cure. Not all the time but it’s better to be careful.

There is always more than 1 side to a story and therefore we could never comprehend what another is feeling be it joy or hurt. It’s always good to be alert and prevention is definitely better than cure, for a lot of things especially physically. However in emotion wise, too much prevention may cause inability to live life fully… a big contradiction…
