The break-up song: Stop Dragging My Heart Around by Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty





Did ever you ever remember those times when a relationship starts to sour and you both feel that it's going nowhere? Both of you want to end it but no one wants to make the first move for fear of being the bad guy? It's like being caught between a rock and a hard place and you don't know what to do. That's one way of getting caught in a in an emotional quagmire and it's can be a real pain. When I think about these kinds of relationships, the song "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" comes to mind.

The song tells about two people who want to call it quits because the thrill is gone. It's getting to a point where both are getting fed up, yet neither wants to make the first move to end. It boils down to a "He said, She said" situation wherethe male and female voices in the song begin to complain about the other. Stevie Nicks is the female sentiment and Tom Petty represents the male. Both take turns in voicing their frustrations on the other and they come together when they express a common sentiment: I want out!

Well I'm no expert when it comes to situations like this, but one thing is sure: Don't hide what you truly feel cause it in the end it will build inside you can cause more pain both to you and those around you. Best to end it and move on is what I would choose. It could be clean or it could be messy, but it's for the best. Time heals all wounds and when it does, life moves foward again. Break ups are never easy, but if it was not meant to be, end it and spare each other the grief because there are better things out there.
