The saddest song

She is so direct. She is in such love she's willing to look the other way. Its not a Say You Love me song "if you use me again it will be the end of me" She's telling him, its ok, I love you so much. It wont make me cry and guess what? I wont hound you and make you cry about it either.
I am guessing this song is about Dennis who was a complete psycho. She also wrote Only Over You and Ask Anybody about him. Those songs also have this thread of you are such a bad guy but I love you so much I dont care what anyone says or what you do. I am loyal to you. One More Lonely Night is another such song. In any other woman, the lyrics would be a metaphor. But Chris wrote like this her entire career. She always seemed to fall for a bad guy or someone that did not treat her right all the time. She apparently made peace about it with herself. She ends the song, "Don't worry baby, I'll me alright You'll never make me cry"
I cant imagine a love so strong that she loves him so much that no matter what he does, she will never cry about it.

Chris had a propensity for picking men who did not do her right. She took too much **** from all the men in her personal life.....

Feels like maybe by the end she plucked herself up, and realized she indeed is "Christine F*cking McVie" and should be treated with proper respect.

It kills me that in her personal possessions listed for sale in the upcoming auction are numerous teeshirts and things with "Christine F*cking McVie" emblazoned on them in glittery sparkles.
