best breakup songs

I can't believe I forgot about SheDaisy's "LITTLE GOODBYES"...

I'm sure you're sure I'll be back in just an hour or two
You'll tape a Hallmark to my door
They always said it better than you
And if ya wonderin' if you're gonna hear from me
Well take a real good look around boy
And it won't be hard to see

When you come home tonight
And turn on the light
Don't you be surprised to find
My little good-byes

My top 5:

"Don't Speak"- No Doubt

"Breathe Again" - Toni Braxton

"End of the Road"- Boys II Men

"Take a Bow"- Madonna

and my favorite of all time...

"The Dance"- Garth Brooks

[kddani]

The Dance makes me cry no matter what mood i'm in. Great song.
Fun F-you kinda of songs:
I Hate Everything About You- Ugly Kid Joe
Mr. Personality- Gilette
Two GREAT songs to yell when you're pissed off at someone.

[SigmaChiCard]

i was gonna say the ugly kid joe song......but also
"I used to love her but i had to kill her" by GnR always gets me deep down, when i think about those past women. haha.

How has no one said "What It Takes" By Aerosmith




Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pains suppose to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep
in the night
without thinking you lost everything that was good

[DeeGeePee]

sweetestone was right on the money with her list for real.

The NUMBER 1 song, for me, is You Oughta Know, by Alanis Morrissette. I love her and had heard the song a million times, but when I actually LISTENED to the words, I cried, cuz she wrote it just for me.

The runners up (in order)...

2. How Does it Feel, Kelly Price (its new, it goes, How does it feel, now that you know, you coulda had me, but you let me go. You're on the outside of your own world, cuz someone else married your girl. That song is DEEEEEEP!!!)

3. I wish I didn't miss you anymore, Angie Stone (this song is TOOOO true)

4. Gone, N'sync

5. You remind me, Nickelback

6. Not Gon Cry, Mary J. Blige

7. Fallin, Alicia Keys

8. Why does it hurt so bad, Whitney Houston

9. Have you ever, Brandy

10, Half Crazy, Musiq

[Hootie]

Ahanti "Unforgiven/Forgiven"
Both are AWESOME and have totally been my anthem since my breakup!!!!!

Hootie

[AGDPrincess70]

I can't believe no one said my favorite breakup song: LOVE STINKS!!!

That's my theme song right now

~Holly

[DeeGeePee]

Ahanti "Unforgiven/Forgiven"

Hootie, I forgot those two!!

[DolphinChicaDDD]

Even though I haven't needed them in awhile....heres some more for the list

Smile- Lily Allen (Great for moving on: I was so lost back then/But with a little help from my friends/ I found a light in the tunnel at the end/ Now you're calling me up on the phone /So you can have a little whine and a moan/ And it's only because you're feeling alone/ At first when I see you cry, /yeah it makes me smile, yeah it makes my smile /At worst I feel bad for a while,/ but then I just smile I go ahead and smile)

ShadowBoxer- Fiona Apple (Once my lover, now my friend/ What a cruel thing to pretend/ What a cunning way to condescend/Once my lover, now my friend)

Untouchable Face- Ani DiFranco (tell you the truth i prefer the worst of you
/too bad you had to have a better half/ she's not really my type/ but i think you two are forever/ and i hate to say it but /you're perfect together/ so f*&k you/ and your untouchable face/ and f*&k you/ for existing in the first place/ and who am i that i should be vying for your touch/ and who am i/ i bet you can't even tell me that much)

[33girl]

Amy Winehouse's whole "Frank" album.

yeah that one is good, although I liked when I wasn't just broken up, just thought it was clever (especailly the word play with wine/whine)

My suggestion:
"Deutche Girls" by Adam Ant or it might have Adam & the Ants, yeah I think he still had his band then. Either way, "You know I told you, you could be classy, oh why did you have to be so nasty? I remember the curls..."

Great stuff, great stuff indeed.

[ZHLyreGirl]

ok this is really cheesy, trust me, but "I Will Survive" gets me through everything! ...well...almost It's great to stick it in the cd player , turn it up really loud, drive around, and sing at the top of your lungs,............. until you see the guy/ family in the car next to you looking at you like you are completely and totally insane...but nothing's wrong with that ... There's other songs that make me think about breakups i've gone through like Brandy "Have You Ever" (that song still makes me want to cry when i hear it ) and the one from Eve 6 that came out last year, crap ! I can't remember the name of it. Oh Well. "I Will Survive" Always pulls me out of a bad mood though
