You and me both, CT4 (re: Usher ~ Let it burn) Here are some others:

I told the Storm~ Gregg O'Quinn

One last Cry~ Brian McKnight

Any song by Sade' (just because it makes me think of my ex; we used to tell each other we loved each other every time we heard a song by her; I KNOW...corny, but I didn't think so at the time)

Nobody's supposed to be here~ Deborah Cox

I thought~ Brandy (off her full moon CD)

I wish I never met her (him in my case)~ Carl Thomas

truthfully ~ Brandy

Broken-Hearted~ Brandy f/ Wanya from BoyzIIMen

Separate ~ Avant f/ Kelly from Destiny's Child

I think that's it for now.

Here are my favorites-
*and let me say, some of these ladies are not the uh, hem, greatest singers but the lyrics are hitting the spot so I can listen to the song for that reason*

I used to love him-Lauryn Hill and MJB

I see him sometimes and the look in his eye
Is one of a man who's lost treasures untold
But my heart is gold I took back my soul
And totally let my creator control
The life which was His
The life which was His
The life which was His
to begin with

Ex-Factor-Lauryn Hill

It could all be so simple
But you'd rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle
And we both end up with scars
Tell me, who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will

Rain on Me-Ashanti (a non singer)
Im so tired of this rain
in my life
and I'm so tired of this strain
and I ain't gonna lie
cause sometimes I can't sleep at night and
this here it just don't seem right and
sometimes I just wonder why I
almost let my life go by...
Rain on me
Lord, won't you take this pain from me

Caught out there- Kelis
I HATE YU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW!!

Get along with you-Kelis

Try me cause I'd be
The one that makes you happy
But the part that I don't get is
Why me? You deny me...
You took my heartbeat from me
This is the saddest story
What was wrong with my love?
You took my heartbeat from me
Was it I loved you poorly?
Whatever it was, I just wanna get along with you

Gonna be Alright- J-ho (I know I know another non singer)

Said I couldn't walk away
Some days I want to stay
But leaving you is what I need to do to be okay
I never thought it would be true
Me living with out you
But now it's time for me to make that move

Unfoolish-Ashanti (I know there she is again)
I think I found my strength to finally get up and leave
No more broken heart for me
No more tellin' your lies to me
I'm lookin' like I got my head on right so now I see
No more givin' you everythin'
There's no more takin' my love from me

Bitter-Chante Moore
I'm just gonna speak from my heart
This song ain't about every man
But sometimes when you have had your heart broken
And there's pain
You gotta let it out exactly how you feeling it
I realize right no I'm just bitter
I remember the times we shared and I
Remember the long phone calls at night
You used to say the sweetest things
But today my phone rings and I wish
That you would just stop talking
I just can't take this anymore

Everyday it Rains- MJB




More to come...

Mariah Carey Breakdown lyrics
[Krayzie Bone - 1]
Break, breakdown, steady breaking me on down
Break, breakdown, steady breaking me on down
Break, breakdown, steady breaking me on down
Break, breakdown, steady breaking me on down

[Mariah Carey]
You called yesterday
To basically say
That you care for me but
That you're just not in love
Immediately I pretended to be feeling similarly
And led you to believe I was OK
To just walk away from the one thing
That's unyielding and sacred to me

[Chorus]
Well I guess I'm trying not to be nonchalant about it
And I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
Underneath the guise of smile gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise till I go home at night
Then turn down all the lights and then I breakdown and cry

[Mariah Carey]
So what do you do when somebody you're so devoted to
Suddenly just stops loving you and it seems they haven't got a clue
Of the pain that rejection is putting you through
Do you cling to your pride and sing "I Will Survive"
(Gotta get control and roll roll roll on) (x4 in background)
Do you lash out and say
How dare you leave this way
Do you hold on in vain as they as they just slip away

[Chorus] - with 1 repeated in background

[Wish Bone]
Yeah, come on, yeah come on come on

[Mariah Carey]
I'm gonna breakdown

[Krayzie Bone]
Break, breakdown
Gotta get control and roll roll roll on
Steady breaking me on down
Gotta get control and roll roll roll on

[Mariah Carey]
I'm gonna breakdown

[Krayzie Bone]
Break, breakdown
Gotta get control and roll roll roll on
Steady breaking me on down
Gotta get control and roll on

[Wish Bone]
Gonna break you down
Only if you let it
Everyday crazy situations rocking my mind
Trying to break me down
But I won't let it
Forget it (Forget it)

[Krayzie Bone]
I be feeling like your breaking me down
Kicking me around, stressing me out
I think you better go and get out
And let me release some stress (stress)

[Wish Bone]
Don't ever wanna feel no pain (pain)
Hoping for the sun but it looks like rain (rain, rain, rain)
Lord, I just wanna maintain

[Krayzie Bone]
Yeah, I'm feeling pressures y'all
But nevertheless Krayzie won't fall
It's over, it's ending here (here)

This is not a song, but I thought it would be encouraging for anyone with a broken heart. Hopefully, this will help during the healing process. It's surely helping me.


Just because

Just because no one has been fortunate enough to realize what a gold mine you are, doesn`t mean you shine any less.

Just because no one has been smart enough to figure out that you can`t be topped, doesn`t stop you from being the best.

Just because no one has come along to share your life, doesn`t mean that
day isn`t coming.

Just because no one has made this race worth while, doesn`t give you permission to stop running.

Just because no one has realized how much of a woman you are, doesn`t mean
they can affect your femininity.

Just because no one has come to take the loneliness away, doesn`t mean you
have to settle for a lower quality.

Just because no one has shown up who can love you on your level, doesn`t
mean you have to sink to theirs.

Just because you deserve the very best there is, doesn`t mean that life is always fair.

Just because God is still preparing your king,doesn`t mean that you`re not already a queen.

Just because your situation doesn`t seem to be progressing right now,
doesn`t mean you need to change a thing.

Keep shining, keep running, keep hoping, keep praying, and keep being
exactly what you are already... COMPLETE
