You're Not Here - Akira Yamaoka

This is the first song of the PS2 Silent Hill 3 game. It's great. I think it speaks a great deal to what Western culture holds as the ideal concept of "romantic love." Take that thought, and run with it where you will.

Blue sky to forever, 
                           Green grass blows in the wind, dancing. 
                           It would be a much better sight with you, with me.
                           If you hadn't met me, I'd be fine on my own, baby.
                           I never felt so lonely, then you came along.
                           
                           So now what should I do? I'm strung out, addicted to you;
                           My body it aches, now that you're gone. 
                           My supply fell through.
                           
                           You gladly gave me everything you had and more,
                           You craved my happiness.
                           When you make me feel joy it made you smile,
                           But now I feel your stress.
                           Love was never meant to be such a crazy affair, no.
                           And who has time for tears?
                           Never thought I'd sit around and cry for your love,
                           'till now.
