Favorite Break-Up Song
 

Hey guys,
Long time, no post. Anywho, I am just getting out of a 14 month relationship where we lived together for a little over ten months, therein highly emotional and involved. I need help in dealing with it using music. What is everyone's favorite break-up song? It can be a take me back, or keep stepping song or any other emotion.
Let me know,
Diva

american hi fi --- the breakup song

it's good stuff!



I can’t believe I hung around with you
All this time
You drove me crazy with your ocd
Girl your out of your mind
I’m counting on ufo’s to beam me up
I just don’t know
How long I can take this shit
I’m over it girl you gotta go

It’s over were over
Just like in crimson and clover
Were sinking and I’m thinking
How the hell did we get so stupid
It’s the end ex girlfriend
I don’t care what you think of me now
So long your gone
This is the break up song

One more thing before you go
Would you please give me my records back
My bloody valentine, the pixies, cheap trick and back in black
You can keep the dog we bought
But you can’t go near the standard bar
Don’t hang around
Don’t call my friends
They wont know who you are

Its over we’re over
Just like in crimson and clover
Were sinking and I’m thinking
How the hell did we get so stupid
It’s the end ex girlfriend
I don’t care what you think of me now
So long your gone
This is the break up song

So long your gone
This is the break up song

Its over we’re over
Just like in crimson and clover
Were sinking and I’m thinking
How the hell did we get so stupid
It’s the end ex girlfriend
I don’t care what you think of me now
So long your gone
This is the break up song

So long your gone
This is the break up song [x3]

THIS IS THE BREAKUP SONG

Jonathan Coulton » Not About You

"Every time I ride past your house I forget it’s you who’s living there
Anyway I never see your face cause your window’s up too high
And I saw you shopping at the grocery store
But I was far too busy with my cart to notice
You weren’t looking at me "

Good bye to you - Scandal

Those times I waited for you seem so long ago
I wanted you far too much to ever let you go
You know I never got by, "I feel it too"
And I guess I never could stand to lose
It's such a pity to say

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

Could I have loved someone like the one I see in you
I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too
These last few weeks of holdin' on
The days are dull, the nights are long
Guess it's better to say

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

'Cause baby it's over now
No need to talk about it
It's not the same
My love for you's just not the same
And my heart, and my heart
And my heart can't stand the strain
And my love, and my love
And my love won't stand the pain
And my heart, and my heart
And my heart can't stand the strain
And my love, and my love
And my love.....

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

Now, could I have loved someone like the one I see in you
Yeah, I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too
These last few weeks of holdin' on
The days are dull, the nights are long
Guess it's better to say

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

Goodbye baby
So long, darlin'
Goodbye to you

Does this count as a break up song?

Scratch my leg with a rusty nail, sadly it heals
Colour my hair but the dye grows out
I cant seem to stay a fixed ideal
Childhood pictures redeem, clean and so serene
See myself without running lines
Whole days throwing sticks into streams
I have crawled so far sideways
I recognise dim traces of creation
I wanna die, die in the summertime
The hole in my life even stains the soil
My heart shrinks to barely a pulse
A tiny animal curled into a quarter circle
If you really care wash the feet of a beggar
I have crawled so far sideways
I recognise dim traces of creation
I wanna die, die in the summertime
I have crawled so far sideways
I recognise dim traces of creation
I wanna die, die in the summertime.

Limp Bizkit - Boiler

I'm loving Pink's "You and Your Hand" just now. Gets the blood movin'!

I listened to the first movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata on repeat for about a week after I broke up with my high school sweetheart.

A solid alternative would be VNV Nation's "Beloved" (which, incidentally, can also make for a great "I'm in love" song, depending on how you want to listen to it)(extra edit parenthesis OHNOEZ-I just read the lyrics since I'm at work and can't listen to it and they gave me chills, this song is amazing).

For the more angry phases of the break up process, I'd check out some Pantera. Cemetary Gates and The Sleep are my favorites, but there's plenty of furious thrashing to be had.

Of course the best break up song ever is Ben Folds Five - Song for the Dumped.

At least if you are in the get-over-it stage.

Otherwise Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye

I Am Crushed by the Vandals

The best suicide motivation / breakup song EVER.

Thanks to my exwife.

Get Gone by Fiona Apple

How many times do I have to say
To get away-get gone
Flip your shit past another lasses
Humble dwelling
You got your game, made your shot, and you got away
With a lot, but Im not turned-on
So put away that meat youre selling
Cuz I do know whats good for me-
And Ive done what I could for you
But youre not benefiting, and yet Im sitting
Singing again, sing, sing again
How can I deal with this, if he wont get with this
Am I gonna heal from this; he wont admit to it
Nothing to figure out; I gotta get him out
Its time the truth was out that he dont give a
Shit about me
How many times can it escalate
Till it elevates to a place I cant breathe?
And I must decide, if you must deride
That Im much obliged to up and go
Ill idealize, then realize that its no
Sacrifice, because the price is paid, and
Theres nothing left to grieve
Fuckin go-
Cuz Ive done what I could for you, and I do know whats
Good for me and Im not benefiting, instead
Im sitting singing again, singing again, singing again,
Sing, sing, sing again
How can I deal with this, if he wont get with this
Am I gonna heal from this; he wont admit to it
Nothing to figure out; I gotta get him out
Its time the truth was out that he dont give a
Shit about me

Train in Vain


You say you stand by your man
Tell me something I don't understand
You said you loved me, and that's a fact
And then you left me, said you felt trapped

Well some things you can explain away
But the heart aches in me till this day

You didn't stand by me
No, not at all
You didn't stand by me
No way

All the times
When we were close
I'll remember these things the most
I see all my dreams come tumbling down
I can't be happy without you around

So all alone I keep the wolves at bay
And there is only one thing that I can say

You didn't stand by me
No, not at all
You didn't stand by me
No way

You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me?

Did you stand by me?
No, not at all

Now I got a job
But it don't pay
I need new clothes
I need somewhere to stay
But without all of these things I can do
But without your love, I won't make it through

But you don't understand my point of view
I suppose there's nothing I can do

You didn't stand by me
No, not at all
You didn't stand by me
No way

You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me?

Did you stand by me
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way
