best breakup songs

[PlymouthDZ]

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.

When it's a fresh breakup:

Putting the Damage on - Tori Amos


Once you are in the anger stage:

Tyrone - Erykah Badu


Once you are a few years out of the relationship and willing to look back on the good parts and have moved on:

The Dance - Garth Brooks

[Anvil_Lopper]

I prefer Cuts Like a Knife- Bryan Adams
He's a cousin of mine

[Im_just_me]

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

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
