Post Help Find an Appropriate Song

A friend of mine likes music a lot and really takes lyrics to heart, so I think that a good way to communicate something to this person is by introducing them to a song.

Okay, I hope a song like this even exists; try to suggest a song which focuses on the action of a person who has been hurt by their significant other but stays with the abuser anyway, and suggests that they, uh, shouldn't. Try and make it a popular song if possible.

I fail at music so I need help. Thanks a lot.

This is pretty much the exact premise of Love the Way you Lie by Eminem.

I was gonna recommend
Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Face Down and Shania Twain - Black Eyes, Blue Tears

But they're not EXACTLY what you're looking for I don't think.

^ Yeah, I was thinking Face Down, too. It's lyrics are completely obvious and to the point, though.

Two mainstream popular songs are "Luka" by Suzanne Vega, and "Better Man" by Pearl Jam.

"Pushit" by Tool is a great song, but you'd need to read the lyrics to get the full effect.

"Delilah" by The Dresden Dolls is from the perspective of the friend of an abused girl who watches her go back to him again and again.

Hope that helps, some, man.

Funny you mention that song, it happens to be one of her favorites actually.

^^ All of those song's lyrics were pretty good, but I think "Delilah" is one I'll try, and maybe "Face Down."

Well, I'm still open to more if anybody would like to add. And thanks a lot for suggesting accurate songs guys, it helps me a lot.
