Ya think? I hope so. I may be asking for trouble, but I suppose that I am just a hopeless hopeful romantic.
If nothing else, lamenting lost loves has led to some good songs I think:
"Shades of Blue Fading to Gray"
When you have eyes only for yourself,
another's pain you cannot see.
And it gets too late to ease the hurt
when the knife has cut too deep.
Then one day you cut far enough
that she cuts and runs away
And now you find that you're living
in shades of blue fading to gray.
Shades of blue fading to gray color the night and color the day. Shades of gray fading to black and the blues keep coming on back.
You've taken too much for granted
and had too much your way.
You've seen the tears in her eyes,
but you've never seen the pain.
True love can't be a one way street
-if you travel too far that way,
someday you'll find the road has turned
to shades of blue fading to gray.
Shades of blue fading to gray color the night and color the day. Shades of gray fading to black and the blues keep coming on back.
Some walls you build will never fall,
some hurts will never heal.
The love that someone may have felt,
they may no longer feel.
Once you've caused a love to change,
it can never be quite the same -
you could end up with a different love
or shades of blue fading to gray.
Shades of blue fading to gray color the night and color the day. Shades of gray fading to black and the blues keep coming on back.
So now that you've come down to earth
and found you're not the sun,
have you also found that a world for two
can't turn around just one?
As the shock of loss weighs on you
and you see your mistakes,
do you see getting your old love back
or shades of blue fading to gray?
Shades of blue fading to gray color the night and color the day. Shades of gray fading to black and the blues keep coming on back.

Maybe we need a song lyrics forum?
Speaking of hearts, this one is kinda funny and way too true:
"The King of Fools With a Humpty Dumpty Heart"
I thought I was Prince Charming until I took a fall When the Queen of Hearts came and knocked me off the wall Now I'm picking up the pieces and trying to make a new start Because now I'm just the King of Fools with a humpty dumpty heart
Yeah, I'm just the King of Fools with a humpty dumpty heart Ever since the queen came and broke it all apart I'd like to put it back together but I don't know where to start Because I'm just the King of Fools with a humpty dumpty heart
She waltzed in like Cinderella in a sleeping beauty dream I should have known that dream things are seldom what they seem Then she left and my dream ended and I woke up with a start To find I was the King of Fools with a humpty dumpty heart
Yeah, I'm just the King of Fools with a humpty dumpty heart Ever since the queen came and broke it all apart I'd like to put it back together but I don't know where to start Because I'm just the King of Fools with a humpty dumpty heart
Now all of the king's horses and all of the King's men Cannot help me put myself back together again There are so many pieces no one knows where to start Helping out the King of Fools with a humpty dumpty heart
Yeah, I'm just the King of Fools with a humpty dumpty heart Ever since the queen came and broke it all apart I'd like to put it back together but I don't know where to start Because I'm just the King of Fools with a humpty dumpty heart
