What was your break up song?

[joseffrost]

I know everyone has their songs that get them through the worst, what's yours?

 

I've been listening to a lot of Dylan and particularly Blood on the The Tracks. Just thought I'd post the lyrics to this little gem - it kinda sums up that period when you finally realise that no matter how much you love them, you just have to let them go. Over to Bob..

 

IF YOU SEE HER, SAY HELLO

 

If you see her, say hello, she might be in Tangier

She left here last early spring, is livin' there, I hear

Say for me that I'm all right though things get kind of slow

She might think that I've forgotten her, don't tell her it isn't so.

 

We had a falling-out, like lovers often will

And to think of how she left that night, it still brings me a chill

And though our separation, it pierced me to the heart

She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.

 

If you get close to her, kiss her once for me

I always have respected her for busting out and gettin' free

Oh, whatever makes her happy, I won't stand in the way

Though the bitter taste still lingers on from the night I tried to make her stay.

 

I see a lot of people as I make the rounds

And I hear her name here and there as I go from town to town

And I've never gotten used to it, I've just learned to turn it off

Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.

 

Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past

I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast

If she's passin' back this way, I'm not that hard to find

Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.

[shadowplay]

Look on the bright side. At least you have good taste.

[joseffrost]

Haha, I must confess that I do...

And regarding your name - Love Will Tear Us Apart is also relevant!

[dxb]

'Spare Me The Details' by the Offspring....

[shadowplay]

Haha, I must confess that I do...

And regarding your name - Love Will Tear Us Apart is also relevant!

 

Or

[Citizen Erased]

Tool and lots of it. I don't like to torture myself with music when I'm depressed so I listen to something that is dirty and involving a lot of cursing. It helps.

[Giha]

John Mayer - Good Love Is On The Way

 

And if I don't feel like being all optimistic and stuff, I just listen to Meshuggah hehe

[Danzig]

I've always liked this one by No Use For A Name

 

On The Outside

 

I'll see you on the outside and we'll

never be the same

after all that's happen what is it that

we've gained?

well I've made mistakes before and

never live them down

after all you've done for me I'm bound

(don't say another word)

To see you on the outside where we can

both be sane

(you're speaking for yourself) I'm

bleeding on the inside

a place you might have been but now I

know I'll (never be the same)

Well I heard you got a place and it's far

away from here

reality has sunk in now confirming

all my fears

I'm not gonna track you down and it's

too late to stop

thinking 'bout the time we have lost

(I'm happy without you)

I'm trying to forget you and everything

we had (we didn't stand a chance)

we're miserable and it's true, I haven't

learned a thing

but now I know I'll trust no one else

(There was a time when we were back

and forth, it wasn't easy)

I guess that we're back where

we belong

one thing is for sure, it wasn't strong

I'll see you on the outside, where we can

both feel shame

(You've never been more right)

I'm dying on the inside, you're never

coming back

and now I know that whatever we

go through

my heart is stuck with you

[SCooke]

Postal Sevice . "Nothing Better", mostly because it was almost word for word the convo's between me and my ex.

 

Guy:

Will someone please call a surgeon

Who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart

That you're deserting for better company

I can't accept that it's over...

And I will block the door like a goalie tending the net

In the third quarter of a tied-game rivalry

 

So just say how to make it right

And I swear I'll do my best to comply

 

Tell me am I right to think that there could be nothing better

Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together?

 

 

Girl:

I feel i must interject here...

You're getting carried away feeling sorry for yourself

With these revisions and gaps in history

So let me help you remember.

I've made charts and graphs that should finally make it clear.

I've prepared a lecture on why I have to leave

So please back away and let me go

 

 

Guy:

I can't my darling I love you so...

But oh, oh...

 

Tell me am I right to think that there could be nothing better

Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together?

 

 

Girl:

Don't you feed me lies about some idealistic future

Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures

 

 

Guy:

I know that I have made mistakes and I swear

I'll never wrong you again

 

Girl:

You've got allure I can't deny,

But you've had your chance so say goodbye

Say goodbye

Blood for Blood - So Common, So Cheap

 

****ing your pussy was like ****ing the wound from a shotgun blast... With gang green!

Sorry ladies but this song goes out to all the guys out there

that have been ****ed over by that lie known as love

Bottoms up.

 

Looking back at all the times we had, I wish I could tell ya' that they weren't all so bad.

But in the end we were just wasting our time,

Yeah I knew what you were but I was out of my mind.

Lost my mind...

 

I knew you were common when we started this thing,

So very common with you're everyday dreams.

But I was desperate for a heart of gold,

So I took a chance and I came in from the cold.

Life's so cold...

 

Let me let you in on a secret fellas

if she sucks great cock she's a pro

and if she spreads on the first date she's a hoe

 

I oughta' have my ****ing head examined for screwing with a skank like you.

But it wasn't like I really felt for you, I was just cold and empty through and through...

 

I thought you were something but you proved me wrong.

Money is your only god, what a tired boring old song.

Just another coward out to sell your soul but it just goes to show that

Nothing in this world is forever.

 

And people are all the same.

And there's no such thing as love.

It left me choking like a candle in the cold hard rain.

 

But there's just one thing I never told ya. You're numb ****ing broad

 

You were so common, you were so cheap,

Another coke snortin' slut from the barroom scene.

But brother, I was so empty, I was so blind,

I turned my back on the truth before my very eyes.

 

'cause sister, you could have been anybody.

You could have been anyone.

All I needed was anybody,

All I needed was anyone.

 

Check this out I was cold and empty and your body was warm

You could have been one of those ****ing blow up dolls for all I ****ing cared

Thanks for the ****ing memories you ****ing sow!

[heatherb16]

Unanswered Prayers by Garth Brooks. Fantastic song. Gives you hope

[Excellent]

My ex pretty much ruined my desire for several months to listen to my favorite band through 15 years, Pink Floyd, because she had the same songs as me as favorites. Songs like Comfortably numb and coming back to life would send me into wreck-mode for hours

[Beeotch]

Don't have one

[greymachina]

In Pieces by Linkin Park . Make me stronger about going through NC

[Pyro]

I never cared much to relate a song to a break-up of mine, except when an ex cheated on me.

 

My most recent GF apparently does, so she told me about the song Breathe by Taylor Swift.

[Ruby Slippers]

It was a couple weeks after the breakup when I randomly heard "Great Divide" by The Cardigans and just totally started bawling. It resonated particularly because one of our first dates was climbing a mile-high mountain, and we made a playful yet meaningful metaphor out of it, about facing our fears together. He was afraid of heights, in more ways than I knew.

 

There's a monster growing in our heads

raised up on the wicked things we've said

a great divide between us now

something we should know

 

There's something to remember

and something to forget

as long as we remember

there's something to regret

something we should know

 

There's a mountain higher than we knew

it's high but such a bitter view

a great divide between us now

something we should know

 

A great divide between us now

on different sides of a great divide

[sally4sara]

My usual break up song is Fiona Apple's "The Way Things Are"

 

I wouldn't know what to do with another chance

If you gave it to me

I couldn't take the embrace of a real romance

It'd race right through me

I'm much better off the way things are

Much much better off, better by far, by far

 

I wouldn't know what to say to a gentle voice

It'd roll right past me

And if you chalk it up you'll see I don't really have a choice

So don't even ask me

I'm much better off, the way things are

Much much better off, better by far

 

So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on

And Ill keep kicking the crap till its gone

If you keep on killing, you might get me to settle

And as soon as I settle, I bet I'll be

Able to move on

 

How can I fight, when we're on the same side?

How can I fight beside you?

 

So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on

And Ill keep kicking the crap till its gone

If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle

And as soon as I settle, I bet Ill be

Able to move on

So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on

And Ill keep kicking the crap till its gone

If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle

And as soon as I settle, I bet Ill be

Able to move on

[bluewolf17]

Randy Travis "I told you so".

 

Suppose I called you up tonight and told you that I loved you

And suppose I said "I wanna come back home".

And suppose I cried and said "I think I finally learned my lesson"

And I'm tired a-spendin' all my time alone.

 

If I told you that I realised you're all I ever wanted

And it's killin' me to be so far away.

Would you tell me that you loved me too and would we cry together?

Or would you simply laugh at me and say:

 

"I told you so, oh I told you so

I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in

I told you so, but you had to go

Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".

 

If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever

Would you get down on yours to and take my hand?

Would we get that old time feelin', would we laugh and talk for hours

The way we did when our love first began?

 

Would you tell me that you'd missed me too and that you'd been so lonely

And you waited for the day that I return.

And we'd live in love forever and that I'm your one and only

Or would you say the tables finally turned?

 

Would you say:

 

"I told you so, oh I told you so

I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in

I told you so, but you had to go

Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".

 

"Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".

[greymachina]

hm.... u guys post the lyrics as well. Let me post "In Pieces" by Linkin Park

 

[FONT=Verdana][sIZE=5][sIZE=2]Telling me to go

But hands beg me to stay

Your lips say that you love

Your eyes say that you hate

There's truth in your lies

Doubt in your faith

What you build you lay to waste

This truth in your lies

Doubt in your faith

All I've got's what you didn't take

 

[Chorus]

So I, I won't be the one

Be the one to leave this

In pieces

And you

You will be alone

Alone with all your secrets

And regrets[/sIZE][/sIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana][sIZE=5][sIZE=2]Don't lie

[End Chorus]

 

You promise me the sky

Then toss me like a stone

You wrap me in your arms

And chill me to the bone

There's truth in your lies

Doubt in your faith

All I've got's what you didn't take

 

[Chorus][/sIZE][/sIZE][/FONT]

[Narf]

Mest - Until i met you

 

Shaking on the outside

Because of what I'm feeling inside

My chest is fu*king hurting

And my stomach's fu*king burning

 

I laugh when you are crying,

You say inside you're dying,

Because you gave up way too early,

Your fu*king pain is so deserving...

 

Don't wanna take it

Because I fu*king hate it

Why do we talk when

All we do is argue

Nothing to be said

Except you make me wish I was dead

This time I'm breaking off for good

I never felt this way before

Open chest, heart on the floor

I never wished that I was dead

Until I met you

 

I fu*king hate the way I'm feeling

Because my fu*king life's not changing

You broke me down when you stopped caring

Your fu*king misery's my healing

 

Don't wanna take it

Because I fu*king hate it

Why do we talk when

All we do is argue

Nothing to be said

Except you make me wish I was dead

This time I'm breaking off for good

I never felt this way before

Open chest, heart on the floor

I never wished that I was dead

I never felt this way before

Open chest, heart on the floor

I never wished that I was dead

Until I met you

 

(Until I met you)

 

I never felt this way before

Open chest, heart on the floor

I never wished that I was dead

Until I met you

I never felt this way before

Until I met you

I never felt this way before

Until I met you

[MrGeorge]

Don't Let It End

 

Dennis DeYoung (Styx)

 

 

What can I do

Pictures of you still make me cry

Trying to live without your love

It's so hard to do

Some nights I'll wake up

I'll look at your pillow

Hoping that I'll see you there

But I get up each day, not much to say

I've nowhere to go

Loneliness fills me up inside

'Cause I'm missing you

So if you'll give us a chance to remember

The love we had once together

Wait and see

Time is all that we really need

I'm praying you won't say no

I mean to tell you

 

Dont let it end

Baby we could have so much more

Don't let it end

Honey please don't walk out that door

 

Im telling you babee

I've made my mistakes

but I'll make you this promise

to do what it takes

I'll be there to protect you

and hold you tight

you got my loving babee

every single night

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Cora]

I have too many to name, but this was one of my favorites when I was going through that angry stage.

 

"You Oughta Know"

 

I want you to know, that I'm happy for you

I wish nothing but the best for you both

An older version of me

Is she perverted like me

Would she go down on you in a theatre

Does she speak eloquently

And would she have your baby

I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

 

'cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able

To make it enough for you to be open wide, no

And every time you speak her name

Does she know how you told me you'd hold me

Until you died, till you died

But you're still alive

 

And I'm here to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you oughta know

 

You seem very well, things look peaceful

I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know

Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity

I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner

It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced

Are you thinking of me when you **** her?

 

'cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able

To make it enough for you to be open wide, no

And every time you speak her name

Does she know how you told me you'd hold me

Until you died, til you died

But you're still alive

 

And I'm here to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you oughta know

 

'cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me

And I'm not gonna fade

As soon as you close your eyes and you know it

And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back

I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

 

Well, I'm here to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you oughta know
