Here's a break-up.. or soon-to-be-broken-up type song..

Insensitive by Jan Arden

How do you cool your lips,
after a summer's kiss?
How do you rid the sweat,
after the body bliss?
How do you turn your eyes,
from the romantic glare?
How do you block the sound of a voice,
you'd know anywhere?
Oh, I really should have known by the time you drove me home,
by the vagueness in your eyes, casual good-byes,
by the chill in your embrace, the expression on your face
that told me you might have
some advice to give, on how to be
insensitive
How do you numb your skin,
after the warmest touch?
How do you slow your blood,
after the body rush?
How do you free your soul,
after you've found a friend?
How do you teach your heart,
its a crime to fall in love again?
Oh, you probably won't remember me,
its probably ancient history.
I'm one of the chosen few
who went ahead and fell for you.
I'm out of vogue, I'm out of touch,
I fell too fast, I feel too much.
I thought that you might have
some advice to give, on how to be
insensitive.


Today My World Slipped Away
George Strait

We made it final today
I gave you all I had, you made your get-away
all the love we once made
turned to memories today

I left the courtroom
and went straight to the church
I hit my knees and told God how much I hurt
there's nothing left of my heart
it's going to be so hard to make a new start

'Cause today my world slipped away
we buried the plans that we made
and tonight I'm alone and afraid
'cause today my world slipped away

All my friends say I'll make it alright
I'll recover and start a new life
but that'll be so hard to do
'cause livin' ain't worth livin' without you

'Cause today my world slipped away
we buried the plans that we made
and tonight I'm alone and afraid
'cause today my world slipped away

'Cause today my world slipped away


ETA: Because I rock at the HTML thing.. :P

ok.. my last post.. I promise.. Here's an angry break-up song..

F.O.D. (F-ck Off and Die)
Green Day
______________

Something's on my mind
It's been for quite some time
This time I'm on to you
So where's the other face?
The face I heard before
Your head trip's boring me

Let's nuke the bridge we torched
2,000 times before
This time we'll blast it all to hell
I've had this burning in my guts now
for so long
My belly's aching now to say

Stuck down in a rut of dislogic and smut
A side of you well hid
When it's all said and done
it's real and it's been fun
But was it all REAL fun

Let's nuke the bridge we torched
2,000 times before
This time we'll blast it all to hell
I've felt this burning in my guts now
for so long
My belly's aching now to say

You're just... a f-ck,
I can't explain it 'cause I think you suck.
I'm taking pride
in telling you to f-ck off and die.

I've felt this burning in my guts now
for so long
My belly's aching now to sing
I'm taking pleasure in the doubts that
may still grow
So listen up cause you might miss it

You're just... a f-ck,
I can't explain it 'cause I think you suck.
I'm taking pride
in telling you to f-ck off and die.

And die.

They can have that shit!"

I didn't read the whole thread but,

"Hey, Mr. DJ" by Trent Tomlinson.

that may not be the song title. The song goes-

"Hey Mr. DJ can I make a request?
Somebody I love just up and left
And, if I know her she'll drive all night long
And she just might have her radio on.
Yeah, I pray she has her radio on."

I can't believe that no one posted this song already. It got me through the worst breakup ever. It's Mya feat. Dru Hill-- "If you died I wouldn't cry 'cause you never loved me anyway"

[Verse 1:]
Mmmmmmm
Oh you hurt me so bad
It started out so perfect
Something God could only create
a union of both me and you on this special day
Never once did I take for granted
That you've been hurt before
So you treated me like a lady and even more
So I can't understand why you brought the storms into my life
Tell me why?
You destroyed every part of me
Now what once a beautiful lady
That you showered with your love
Must live with a heart that bleeds

[Chorus Dru Hill (Mya)]
I hope you never have to come this way again (This way again)
You used to be my lover and my friend (That was the end)
[Mya: ]
So please don't take offense when I say what I have to say
Cause if you died I wouldn't cry cause you never loved me any way

[Verse 2]
Promises made and secrets told
late nights spent in ecstasy
We made love in a bed of roses
For the universe to see
There was no holding back from each other
Both of our minds were free
whenever we spent time apart
Boy it seems like eternity

So I can't understand why you brought this pain into my life
Oh tell me why
I gave you a reason to live
And you used my love in vain
So go on by yourself to survive this alone
You know you can't come back home

[Chorus]
I hope you never have to come this way again (I hope you never to come this way again)
You used to be my lover and my friend (You did you did)
[Mya: ]
So please don't take offense when I say what I have to say
If you died I wouldn't cry cause you never love me anyway
No way no way no way

[Verse 3:]
How could this be
After all the love you said we shared
You turn around and leave
Boy you know you were my heart and soul
But I can't be hurt I gotta let you go
Together forever that's what we both said
I didn't know that life could be so unfair

I hope you never have to come this way again (Baby you did this to me)
You used to be my lover and my friend (You were my lover)
[Mya:]
So please don't take offense when I say what I have to say
I hope you die, I hope you die
cause you never love me anyway(Cause you never loved me anyway)

I hope you never have to come this way again (you never never never never never never never never)
You used to be my lover and my friend (You use to be my best friend)
You can get struck by lighting
Washed away by the sea
Burned in a fire just don't bring it back to me Cause
Cause if you died I wouldn't cry cause you never love me anyway (Cause you never loved me anyway)

Seeing Things - Black Crowes

I find it hard to shed a tear
You brought it on yourself my dear
Wrong, yes I may be
Don't leave a light on for me
'Cause I ain't comin' home
It hurts me baby to be alone
Yes, it hurts me baby

A hundred years will never ease
Hearing things I won't believe
I saw it with my own two eyes
All the pain that I can't hide
And this pain starts in my heart
And this love tears us apart
You won't find me bent down on my knees
Ain't bendin' over backwards baby
Not to please

'Cause I'm seeing things for the first time
I'm seeing things for the first time, oh yeah
I'm seeing things for the first time
In my life, in my life

I used to dream
Of better days that never came
Sorry ain't nothin' to me
I'm gone and that's the way it must be
So please I've done my time
Lovin' you is such a crime
You won't find me down on, on my knees
Won't find me over backwards baby
Just to please

'Cause I'm seeing things for the first time
I"m seeing things for the first time
Seeing things for the first time
Oh I'm seeing things for the first time
Yeah, seeing things for the first time
I'm seeing things for the first time
Yeah, I'm seeing things for the first time
In my life, in my life
