There’s no better place to start than at the end,  
When the shouting quiets  
And the single sheet is back on the bed.  
 
We walk away from each other 
Like we’re set to hold a duel,  
But we don’t turn,  
We march on, targets 
Only in the mind’s eye 
Stalking in a shape and a form 
That will live till the moment we die.  
 
Let me hold you in my head and hands,  
There’s no truth without you,  
No measured breathing,  
Only recklessness  
And no-one left who’ll understand.  
 
We walk away from each other 
Like we’re set to hold a duel,

Winter in Hearts

By Karlo Čavlović

Even though some relationships feel perfect due to our adoration for the other person, in most cases the real situation is nowhere near. Perfection is not achievable, but mediocrity is even worse. We should never settle for someone who does not cherish us, but we also shouldn't be the person who doesn't cherish their partner fully. When we feel that something is off and that our love for our partner is simply fading away, it's better to be honest than continue to hurt both ourselves and our partner.

So wie immer

By NiS

Zwei Leben eines Mannes, die er parallel lebt. An seinem Wohnort lebt er mit ihr (1. Strophe) und an seinem Arbeitsplatz lebt er mit ihr (2. Strophe). Diese Situation gibt es gar nicht so selten, es gab sie immer und es wird sie wohl auch immr geben. Jeder kannte oder kennt jemanden oder hat zumindest davon gehört oder war selbst ein Teil davon?

The Art of Dispute

By Melanie Thompson

All couples fight. That is a given. And I think we should fight. We should be able to express ourselves to the ones we love or to strangers. It is something that we should not avoid. Clear the air sometimes and you breath better. However, I think that when we do fight or argue we should do it in a manner that doesn't lead to hatred or violence. Make it a fair fight. Fair fights are permitted. Take the art of boxing for example. I love watching a good boxing match. And when I wrote this song I thought about boxing and all the rules that apply to that sport. If you are in a relationship learn to adjust. Learn to respect the one you love. Make some rules about how to argue your issues. And then follow them. Learn the art of dispute.

Another empty night

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about having a relationship with a prostitute. I could say that in my life I've had a couple of those, and thought that they could turn into something, like love. But I was definitely under the influence of substances, and my mind was not thinking clearly. Even if there was a prostitute next to me in my bed, I knew it was going to be another empty night. These things never last, and really they're just wrong. I know my morals would not allow that today. I know that if I wasn't using drugs and alcohol, I would never have engaged in that type of behavior. Every man does have his needs, but it's okay to wait until you find the right one.

Upside down, Outside in

By Lucy Nolan

New love in confusing. Love that brings heartbreak and build to be stronger too. You can't always see the turmoil caused by love, because its on the inside. Sometimes love just makes you feel upside down inside.
