My iPod reads my mind

I've had a bad week. I won't divulge all the details but needless to say, I've shed some tears, most of which have fallen on the subway (safely hidden behind some sunglasses) while listening to my iPod. Anything and everything from Neutral Milk Hotel to the Once soundtrack to LCD Soundsystem can set me off. And then my iPod delivered the coup de grĂ¢ce in the surprising form of Matchbox Twenty. In case you've forgotten, and I had, they had some good songs, "Leave" being one of them. And this song's relevance was not lost on my tear ducts. Some choice lines

It's amazing.
How you make your face just like a wall
How you take your heart and turn it off
How I turn my head and lose it all

It's unnerving
How just one move puts me by myself
There you go just trusting someone else
Now I know I put us both through hell

I'm not saying there wasn't nothing wrong
I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me
I'm not saying we ever had the right to hold on
I just didn't wanna let it get away from me

But if that's how it’s gonna leave
Straight out from underneath
Then we’ll see who’s sorry now
If that’s how it’s gonna stand, when
You know you’ve been depending on
The one you’re leaving now
The one you’re leaving out

Oh, Rob Thomas. You get me. Cue tears.

Judging.

But I get it.
