Was It A Dream?- 30 Seconds To Mars
for me; this song is symbolic as it revolves around how my boyfriend and I just seem like a dream; he's somewhere half way across the world cause he's in the army and the thought that he was once here just reminds me of everything being an illusion

What Love Really Means- JJ Heller
Its good to know that there is always someone who cares and loves about you. This song has helped me through my most recent break up and even though it helped me I still cried. But if your trying to make it through a really tough break up I promise you this song will help you with your tears and how you feel inside. Just listen to it!

And Still - Reba McEntire
Well for one, I didn't see any of her music up here and quite frankly there should be plenty of her's. This one, talks about loving a guy but not speaking up and he moves on. Only to see him again later down the road and catch up and find out he's married and you still very much are in love with him. It happens more and more everyday and it's a situation I hope I'm never in. My heart mourns for those that are. Any of her ballads are definitely qualified to be up here. Her music can fit to everyone and she's just a classic singer with tons of emotion and talent.

It's about this guy and his ex has a new boyfriend. Lyrics: "Does he watch your favorite movies? Does he hold you when you cry? Does he let you tell him all your favorite parts when you've seen it a million times? Does he sing to all your music while you dance the purple rain? Does he do all these things? Like I used to." and in the ending: "Will he love you like I loved you? Will he tell you everyday? Will he make you feel like you're invincible with every word he'll say? Can you promise me if this was right, don't throw it all away? Can you do all these things? Will you do all these things? LIKE WE USED TO."
