Regina Spektor - Fidelity

This is so frustrating to me, hearing this great stuff, knowing only that there's more out there just like it...or better.

If you've ever been in love or ever been me, you'll totally understand this song. Plus, the music is incredibly simple, but so fitting. The video is just as beautiful.

Regina Spektor - Fidelity

(Shake it up)

I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind, all of these voices
I hear in my mind, all of these words
I hear in my mind, all this music

And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
Well, it breaks my heart

And suppose I never, ever met you
Suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never, ever let you kiss me so sweet and so soft
Suppose I never, ever saw you
Suppose you never, ever called
Suppose I kept on singing love songs just to break my own fall
Just to break my fall
Just to break my fall
Just to break my fall
Break my fall
Break my fall

All my friends say that of course it's gonna get better
Gonna get better
Better better better better
Better better better

I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind, all of these voices
I hear in my mind, all of these words
I hear in my mind, all this music
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart

I hear in my mind, all of these voices
I hear in my mind, all of these words
I hear in my mind, all of this music
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart

Breaks my heart
Breaks my heart

Lots of things break my heart. I'm an emotional person. Always have been - always will be.

What breaks my heart is that I can't always be who I want to be. I can't take back the horrible things I've done. I'm forced to live with guilt of which I can't let go. Why is that? Even now, my stomach is in knots, thinking about being in the arms of the person that I love, despite our differences. How much do you have to push? How much should you give up? How many roads should a person travel? At what point do you stop being yourself and just become an extension of someone else?

Does any of this even matter as long as you're happy?
