By request, a mix for the times when you feel as if you ought to come with a warning label stating, “Caution!  Not worth the trouble!  Excess baggage and emotional damage!  Run, don’t walk.”  Although frankly, I’d hardly label the requesting individual as such, I relate to the feeling all too well.  Spanning covers and the full gamut of emotion from confusion over being someone’s love to regretting being so difficult to love, this mix hits a little of this and that.

Comment if taking and please enjoy (and buy some CDs).  *wink*

Why you treat me so goddamn well?”

Fast as you can…”

With a perfect you
We fit perfectly
And for once in my life I feel complete

I want you to be free
I want you to be free from me…”
