People say they love U and they wanna help

but how can they when U can't help Urself?

The more they say they love U

the more U just wanna die

The two last lines are especially hurtful.

Pretty much all of the The Holy River gets to me whenever I listen to it. Although the emotion in the lyrics are mostly very hopeful it's the sense of regret of the life that's been led up until that point that really hits hard.

.

"So I went on down 2 the holy river

I called my girl and told her I had something 2 give her

I asked her 2 marry me and she said yes, I cried

Oh, that night I drowned in her tears and mine

And.. and instead of a glass of sorrow and wine

Looking back y'all, I don't miss nothing except the time"

.

I get similar feeling when I hear this part of The Breakdown:

.

"I used to throw the party at the New Year's Eve

First one intoxicated, last one to leave

Waking up in places that you would never believe

Give me back the time, you can keep the memories"

.

This last line is great.

"Some things are better left unsaid, some people are better left untrusted. Maybe, maybe...maybe it'll all make sense, when I'm dead....when I'm dead...." Quite possibly the saddest words ever written, and the WAY he sang them with such chilling finality...kills me everytime...

Old Friend 4 Sale, the whole song is quite sad.

I called an old friend of mine just the other day
No congratulations, no respect paid
All she did was wonder if the rumors were true
I said - "No, I ain't dead yet, but uh.. what about U?"
I can count my friends with a peace sign: 1, 2
It was Sunday night, instead of doing what I usually do I..

I scan my computer looking 4 a site
Somebody 2 talk 2, funny and bright
I scan my computer looking 4 a site
Make believe it's a better world, a better life

My Computer about loneliness and isolation.

There are so many, but this song always gets me choked-up......

I remember meeting you here in the good ole' days
I would never pick the flower of my favorite protege
Maybe if I would have
Then you would not treat me this way
You tricked me - but you will not anymore........

.......I love you, but I don't trust you anymore.....

......the melody is so very sad.

Sweet wind blew
Not a moment 2 soon I cried when I realized
That sweet wind was U
(about his son I believe)

I could tell from the moment U walked in the room
That it wasn't your dress U had on
That wasn't your perfume
And what happened 2 the ring that I gave U?
What am I 2 assume?
I love U, but I don't trust U anymore

U could tell from the moment U looked in my eyes
That I could see right through U
U must apologize
I've always given U the best in life
Even in the wrong, it was right
I know U trust me, but U don't love me anymore, no no

I remember meeting U here in the good ol' days
I would never pick the flower of my favorite prot'g'
Maybe if I would have
Then U would not treat me this way
U tricked me, but U will not anymore, no no
I love U, but I don't trust U anymore

All good things they say, never last

And love, it isn't love until it's past…



That's BIG!

Come back Nikki, come back!

But don't u have 2 have a heart 1st b4 u get it broken?

So what about the heartbreak? Everybody's had one c

Quick, would someone please open a "Most uplifting lines in Prince songs"?
This one keeps breaking me down, down, down...

'Those kinds of cars don't pass you every day'.

Makes me reflect on myself and on my friends, and evokes sadness when I think of what it would be like to lose a close friend.
