Like We Never Loved at All-Faith Hill & Tim McGraw

It sounds like a pretty sappy, sad breakup song.

I Never Wanted You by Headphones

I never wanted you.
I never wanted two.
I know I told you I did
in front of witnesses.
And then we lit one wick,
but now I get my kicks.
I know you never suspected
because I never said
but Baby I was faking the whole time.
How could you ever have guessed it
with no accomplices?
That Baby I was faking the whole time.
You know it isn't like me to be inflammatory.
But rather than let you think that I was so naive
I'd have you believe
I never wanted you.
I never wanted two.
You never had my heart.
Our love was never true.
I know you never suspected
because I never said.
But Baby I was faking the whole time.
How could you ever have guessed it
with no accomplices?
Baby I was faking the whole time.
You know we never connected,
you only thought we did.
Baby I was faking the whole time.
Baby I was faking the whole time.
Baby I was faking the whole time.

Little Goodbyes
SheDaisy

I'm gonna tell you something you don't wanna hear
You never listen when I talk
Maybe you'll listen when I walk
So I made my mind up and made a sandwich
And I didn't shed a tear
I gave you one last minute of my time
In this mess I left behind
When you come home tonight
And turn on the light
Don't you be surprised to find

My little good-byes
Empty hangers by the closet door
Lipstick tube on the bathroom floor
My little good-byes
Unpaid bills by the kitchen phone
I took the Beatles, left Billy Joel
Little good-byes, little good-byes

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 you're wondering
When you're gonna hear from me
Well, take a real good look around boy
And it won't hard to see
When you come home tonight and turn on the light
Don't you be surprised to find

My little good-byes
Took your favorite Dodger's hat
Left the litter, but I took the cat
My little good-byes
Loaded up the TV in the back of my car
Have fun watching the VCR
Little good-byes, oh baby, little good-byes

So, cry to your mama
And your sympathetic friends and tell'em
And tell them how the story ends

My little good-byes
Took the hourglass, left the sand
Now you got time on your hands
My little good-byes
Took the statue from Japan
Funny little Buddha man

My little good-byes
Change my voice on the machine
Or there'll be little good-byes with every ring
My little good-byes
Left the pictures and took the frame
I've got the umbrella, here comes the rain

Shellac - Prayer To God

This is an angry FU song if your girlfriend cheats on you. It's pretty funny ( in a not funny way).

To the one true God above:
here is my prayer -
not the first you've heard, but the first I wrote.
(not the first, but the others were a long time ago).
There are two people here, and I want you to kill them.
Her - she can go quietly, by disease or a blow
to the base of her neck,
where her necklaces close,
where her garments come together,
where I used to lay my face...
That's where you oughta kill her,
in that particular place.
Him - just fucking kill him, I don't care if it hurts.
Yes I do, I want it to,
fucking kill him but first
make him cry like a woman,
(no particular woman),
let him hold out, hold back
(someone or other might come and fucking kill him).
Fucking kill him.
Kill him already, kill him.
Fucking kill him, fucking kill him,
Kill him already, kill him.
Fucking kill him, fucking kill him,
Kill him already, kill him.
Just fucking kill him! Fucking kill him,
Fucking kill him already, kill him.
Ah Fucking kill him, fucking kill him,
Kill him already, kill him.
Kill him already, kill him already
Kill him, fucking kill him.
Just fucking kill him, fuckin kill him,
Kill him already, kill him.
Fuckin kill him, kill him,
Fucking kill him already, kill him.

Kill him, fucking kill him,
Kill him, just fucking kill him.
Kill them already, kill them already,
Kill him.
Amen.

This song got me through some rough times last year.

Wonderful, Annie Lennox:


I wanna have you
'Cause you're all I've got
Don't wanna lose you
'Cause it means a lot
All the joy this world can bring
Doesn't give me anything
When you're not here ...

Idiot me
Stupid fool
How could you be
So uncool?
To fall in love with someone who
Doesn't really care for you
It's so obscure...

But I feel...
Wonderful
Yes I feel...
Wonderful

God it makes me be so blue
Everytime I think about you
All of the heat of my desire
Smokin' like some crazy fire
Come on here
Look at me
Where I stand
Can't you see my heart burnin'
In my hands?
Do you want me?
Do you not?
Does it feel cold baby?
Does it feel hot?

I wanna hold you
And be so held back
Don't wanna need you
But it's where I'm at
Thinkin' bout you every day
How come I was made that way?
It's so surreal...

But I feel... wonderful
Yes I feel ... wonderful

One More Minute or You Don't Love Me Anymore(?) by Weird Al. Not sure about the second song title.

Some great snippets:

"I'd rather rip out my intestines with a fork, then watch you going out with other men" (One more min.)

"I guess I lost a little self-esteem, when I heard that you mated with the whole hockey team" (You Don't Love...)

[James]

This is more for when you realize your EX moved on. . . cause lets face it, they should never really get over us right?


Expose "I'll never get over you, getting over me"

I hear you're taking the town again
Having a good time.
With all your good time friends.
I don't think that you think of me.
You're on your own now.
And I'm alone and free.
I know that I should get on with my life.
But a life lived with out you could never be right.

As long as the stars shine down from the heavens.
Long as the rivers run to the sea.
I'll never get over you gettin' over me.

I try to smile so the hurt won't show.
Tell everybody
That I was glad to see you go.
But the tears just won't go away (won't go away)
Lonliness found me.
Looks like it's here to stay.
I know that I ought to find someone new.
But all I find is myself always thinkin' of you.

As long as the stars shine down from the heavens.
Long as the rivers run to the sea.
I'll never get over you gettin' over me.

oh... No matter what I do.
Each night's a lifetime to live through.
I can't go on like this. (I need your touch)
You're the only one I ever loved... oh.

And as long as the stars shine down from the heavens.
Long as the rivers run to the sea.
I'll never get over you gettin' over me.
I'll never get over you gettin over.
Never get over you... gettin over.
I'll never get over you gettin' over me.

Randy Rogers Band, "Somebody Take Me Home"

Same old bedroom floor
Some old empty sheets
I hate this haunted bed
So down here is where I sleep

I tried to find a place
To hide what you had left
Somethings never change
My heart hasn't yet

I don't wanna go out tonight
Yeah but I can't be alone
Standing underneath this broke street light
Can somebody take me home
Somebody take me home

The hope that we had left
I wrapped around your ring
That river just rolled on by
When I watched it sink

I don't wanna go out tonight
Yeah but I can't be alone
Standing underneath this broke street light
Can somebody take me home
Somebody take me home

Out of this bar, out of this heartache
Out of this world, I just keep breaking down
I keep breaking down

I don't wanna go out tonight
Yeah but I can't be alone
Standing underneath this broke street light
Can somebody take me home
Somebody take me home

"Since You've Been Gone"- Kelly Clarkson
"Out Tonight"- From RENT

[LiquorBox]

"The Curse" by Dwight Yoakam is my alltime favorite breakup song!

Don't you sleep.
Don't you have a single moment's peace
Just walk through the darkness with fears that are deep
And don't you even sleep

Don't you smile.
Don't you have happy thoughts for a while
'Til teardrops and sadness both go out of style
No, don't you even smile

These are the things I wish for you
Deep in my heart how I hope they come true
And then you'll know when bad turns to worse
What it's like to live under love's curse

[Elsa-town77]

LOVE that song. What a good one! Had forgotten all about that.

Maybe we should do a thread on best new relationships songs? I just made one in my itunes. :-)
