Good songs to get over a breakup????? :)


Recommended Posts

I'm big on alternative and hard rock, but there are quite a lot of songs that I enjoy for some reason, that really help me with a breakup. Add on to the list if you

can think of some more. I'm mostly into rock, but breakups make me cheesy and make me listen to cheesy music. Some of the ones I've listened to include

 

Offspring-Can't Repeat

N'Sync-ByeByeBye

Britney-Stronger

Joee-Better Than You

Fleetwood Mac-Go Your Own Way

Chris Isaak-Somebody's Lying

 

 

 

 

that's all I have so far, anyone have anymore suggestions ;)

what a shame - Tesla

 

Here are some of the lyrics to it.. It really hits home with me.. I have listened to it about 100 times since the break up.. Its a nice "F" You song. :)

 

What A Shame - Tesla

 

 

Genre/Lang. : Rock/Metal

 

Did you think it wouldn't show, you're here with me, but I'm so alone

And now this house don't feel like home, I can't believe how much we've grown

So far apart, so far away, you just can't hide something as plain as day

I think it's safe to say, that's it's just no good

 

And I don't need you in my life, the way you cut me like a knife

You burned me once, but now that it's done, you'll never burn me twice

 

Now that it's all been said and done, do you like what you've become

Now that it's all but over, you haven't changed, and what a shame

 

I know you think you're always right, and just because, you've got God in your life

But he don't appreciate the way you lied, he can't believe how hard you tried

To take me down, to take it all, hanging around, and making sure I fall

Then say it was me to blame, and I was, for trusting someone like you anyways

For some reason the "City of Angels" soundtrack always helps me through a depressing moment.

The Ramones - "I Don't Want You" off the Road to Ruin record.

 

Denim Demon by Turbonegro is really good, too, not because it is about breaking up but because it rocks so hard and the lyrics are hilarious.

Dunno. Sum 41, pretty much all songs, worked for me. Just my kind of music. Most of the songs are probably for the dumpER, but they work for me, if you like meldoy/soft core.
