Sucker-punched by Song Lyrics

Have you ever had a song that just moved you beyond words? I have one that has haunted me for several years now. The first time I heard it, I felt like I had been punched in the stomach. Each and every time I hear it, I still think about this one event/person. I remember it like it was yesterday and have never gotten over it. I replay that evening in my head and try to imagine how different things might be if I had reacted differently. I froze. It's that simple. I froze and did nothing. I play the "what if" game in my head. It's not exactly about not being happy where I am now or anything like that because in some ways, I know I am where I need to be, and I mightn't have my beautiful children if I had made a different decision. The song just symbolizes a lost moment and the what ifs that resulted from it. It is simply one unforgettable moment in time. I know Linda Perry, the Dixie Chicks, et. al. had one event in mind when it was written, but wow, they nailed me as well. I wasn't exactly a kid as the song starts, but I was young and naive. This will forever be one of my favorite songs, and I doubt I'll ever escape the meaning it holds for me. Does anyone else have a song that gets to them as this one does me? I'd love to hear about it...

Voice Inside My Head

I was only a kid
When I said goodbye to you
Ten summers ago
But it feels like yesterday

Lost, scared and alone
Nothing I could give to you
I tried, I really did
But I couldn't find another way

And I want and I need
Somehow to believe
In the choice I made
Am I better off this way

I can hear the voice inside my head
Saying you should be with me instead
Every time I'm feeling down, I wonder
What would it be like with you around

So I, I made my way
Cold and roaming in the wild
I'm forever changed
By someone I never knew

Now I've, I've got a place
I've got a husband and a child
But I'll never forget
What I've given up in you

And I want, I need
Somehow to believe
In the choice I made
Am I better off this way

I can hear the voice inside my head
Saying you should be with me instead
Every time I'm feeling down, I wonder
What would it be like with you around

And I want, I need
Somehow to believe
In the choice I made
Am I better off this way

I can hear the voice inside my head
Saying you should be with me instead
Every time I'm feeling down
I wonder what would it be like with you around
What would life be like with you around...
