Antibiotics for a Broken Heart (Break Up Songs)

[christiangirl]

So Sick ~ Ne-Yo
Anytime ~ Brian McKnight (not your typical breakup song, but it just does something for me when I'm sad)

[CrimsonTide4]

Bruised But Not Broken ~ Joss Stone
Losing You ~ Heather Headley

[stardusttwin17]

Not a song but may I suggest those with broken/aching hearts watch Kill Bill. If you can pretend you are the Bride/ and HE (whomever your HE is) is Bill and you visualize the payback at the end...well that made me finally today.

Don't Be A Victim - Joss Stone
Dirty Man - Joss Stone
Same Sh*t Different Day Part 2- Jaguar Wright

yeah... it's like that...

[Bluetiful]

My 2 favorite breakup songs: "What If" by Babyface and "I Wish I Wasn't" by Heather Headley. Oh, they both make me want to cry . . . I just had to post the lyrics!
(Plus of course, anything by Brian McKnight is just too depressing during a breakup!)


"What If" by Babyface is the perfect song for the good woman who was dumped! Just imagine the one who dumped you today is the same man who will one day too late regret (as they usually do) that he dumped the best thing that ever happened to him!

I ran into a friend of yours the other day
And I asked her how you've been
She said my girl is fine; just bought a house, got a job, real good man
I told her I was glad for you; that's wonderful
But does she ever ask `bout me?
She said she's happy with her life right now
Let her go, let her be
And I told myself I would, but something in my heart just would not let you go
I just wanna know

[Chorus:]
What if we were wrong about each other?
What if you were really made for me?
What if we was `sposed to be together?
Would that not mean anything?
What if that was `sposed to be my house that you go home to every day?
How can you be sure that things are better?
If you can't be sure your heart is still here with me
Still wanting me

Your friend asked me if there was someone special in my life that I was seeing
I told her there was no one in particular
There's just I, myself, and me
I told her that I dream of you quite often
She just cut her eyes at me
She said you got a home, you're very happy
So just stop your meddling
I told her that I won't
I said things were cool, but I guess I was wrong
I still can't move on

[Chorus]

Now that could be my car
That could be my house
That could be my baby boy that you're nursing
That could be the trash that I always take out
That could be the chair that I love to chill in
That could be my food on the table at the end of the day
Hugs and the kisses, all the love we make
What the hell do you expect me to say?
What if it's really `sposed to be this way?
What if you're really `sposed to be with me?


"I Wish I Wasn't" by Heather Headly is oh soooo sad but it can be empowering. It reminds you just how bad you've been treated and how unfair you are being to yourself by staying with that loser! This song is just REAL! It hits too close to home for too many of us good women!

[Verse 1]
I'm home alone again
And you're out hangin with your friends
So you say
Somehow I know it's not quite that way
It's getting pretty late
And you haven't checked on me all day
When I
called you didn't answer
Now I'm feeling like your ignoring me
I wish that you were home
Holding me tight in your arms

And I wish I could go back
To the day before we met
And skip my regret

[Chorus:] I wish I wasn't in love with you
So you couldn't hurt me
it just ain't fair the way you treat me
No you don't
deserve me
Wasting my time thinking bout you when you ain't never gon change
I wish I wasn't in love with you so I
wouldn't feel this way

[Verse 2]
When you touch me my heart melts
And everything you did wrong I forgive
So you play me and take advantage
Of the love
that I feel for you
Why you wanna hurt me so bad
I believed in you that's why I'm so mad
Now I'm drowning in
disappointment
And it's hard for me to even look at you
And I wish that you were home
Holding me tight in your arms
And
I wish I could go back
To the day before we met
And skip my regret

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Said you care about me
But from what I see
I ain't feeling that
So I disagree
Gave you all my love
And understanding

And you're treating me like your enemy
So leave me alone
Don't want nothing from you
Just go back where you came from

This house is no longer your home
You are not welcome no no no more

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Hear you knockin' at the door again
I'm wonderin' should I let you in
I open up the door and see
The flowers for me
So
beautiful in your hand
Please stop begging me to take you back
I've always been a sucker for romance
And before you know
it I concede
You're all over me
Oh no here I go again
I wish I wasn't in love with you
So you couldn't hurt me

Another goodie

Your Love's Not True ~ Today (came out when I was in 8th or 9th grade)

You all are suggesting really good songs. I am now motivated to burn a "Antibiotics for a Broken Heart" CD.

[AKA2D '91]

I made a CD a few years ago entitled "Songs of Heartbreak". I'm going to have to dig it up and find out what songs are on it.

[CrimsonTide4]

There will be a Get Yo Isht and Get Out play list added to my MP3 player today.
