I was driving in to work today and some of the songs I listened to during some breaks-ups in the past came on and it got me to thinking about what break-up songs other people listen to. Also why does it seem like women have better break-ups songs? Is it because guys mess up more or because women are more emotionally expressive?

Here are a some of the one I Like..


112- Ain't Nobody Gonna Love You LIke I Did
Carl Thomas - Wish I never met her
Avant - Separated
Lauryn Hill - Ex-Factor
«134

    Break Even - By The Script

    I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
    Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in
    I got time while she got freedom
    when a heart breaks no it don't break even

    Her best days will be some of my worst
    She finally met a man that's gonna put her 1st
    While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
    when a heart breaks no it don't break even

    What am I suppose to do when the best part of me was always you
    What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and your ok
    I'm falling to pieces
    I'm falling to pieces

    They say bad things happen for a reason
    But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
    she's moved on while I'm still grieving
    when a heart breaks no it don't break even

    What am I suppose to do when the best part of me was always you
    What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and your ok
    I'm falling to pieces
    I'm falling to pieces
    (One still in love while the other ones leaving
    when a heart breaks no it don't break even)

    You got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
    You took your suitcase, I took the blame.
    Now I'm tryin to make sense of what little remains
    you left me with no love, no love to my name.

    Adele.... Her album 21 is all about a break up and I found it at the right time. The whole album goes through the stages of a break up, all the way to getting over the guy and then having him want you back once he can't have you. It paralleled my life at the time.

    Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead...Adele

    You Are Everything by the Stylistics.

    Today I saw somebody
    Who looked just like you
    She walked like you do
    I thought it was you
    As she turned the corner
    I called out your name
    I felt so ashamed
    When it wasn't you
    Wasn't you

    You are everything
    And everything is you
    Oh, you are everything
    And everything is you
    'Cause you are everything
    And everything is you

    How can I forget
    When each face that I see
    Brings back memories
    Of being with you
    I just can't go on
    Living life as I do
    Comparing each girl with you
    Knowing they just won't do
    They're not you

    'Cause you are everything
    And everything is you
    Oh, you are everything
    And everything is you
    You are everything
    And everything is you

    Break Even - By The Script

    ^^^^^This! And Stronger - Sara Evans

    Woke up late today,
    And I still feel the sting of the pain,
    But I brushed my teeth anyway.
    I got dressed through the mess,
    And put a smile on my face.
    I got a little bit stronger.

    Riding in the car to work,
    And I'm trying to ignore the hurt.
    So I turned on the radio,
    Stupid song made me think of you.
    I listened to it for a minute,
    But then I changed it.
    I'm getting a little bit stronger,
    Just a little bit stronger.

    And I'm done hoping we can work it out,
    I'm done with how it feels
    Spinning my wheels,
    Letting you drag my heart around.
    And I'm done thinking you could ever change,
    I know my heart will never be the same.
    But I'm telling myself I'll be okay,
    Even on my weakest days,
    I get a little bit stronger.

    It doesn't happen overnight,
    But you turn around and a months gone by,
    And you realize you haven't cried.
    I'm not giving you an hour, or a second, or another minute longer.
    I'm busy getting stronger.

    And I'm done hoping we can work it out,
    I'm done with how it feels
    Spinning my wheels,
    Letting you drag my heart around.
    And I'm done thinking you could ever change,
    I know my heart will never be the same.
    But I'm telling myself I'll be okay,
    Even on my weakest days,
    I get a little bit stronger.
    I get a little bit stronger.

    Getting along without you baby,
    Better off without you baby,
    How does it feel without me baby?
    I'm getting stronger without you baby.

    And I'm done hoping we can work it out,
    I'm done with how it feels
    Spinning my wheels,
    Letting you drag my heart around.
    And I'm done thinking you could ever change,
    I know my heart will never be the same.
    But I'm telling myself I'll be okay,
    Even on my weakest days,
    I get a little bit stronger.

    I get a little bit stronger.
    Just a little bit stronger.
    Little bit, little bit, little bit stronger.
    Get a little bit stronger.

    Man, I love that song.

    Linkin Park - In Pieces

    Telling me to go
    But hands beg me to stay

    Your lips say that you love
    Your eyes say that you hate

    There's truth in your lies
    Doubt in your faith
    What you build you lay to waste

    This truth in your lies
    Doubt in your faith
    All I've got's what you didn't take

    [Chorus]
    So I, I won't be the one
    Be the one to leave this
    In pieces

    And you
    You will be alone
    Alone with all your secrets
    And regrets

    Don't lie
    [End Chorus]

    You promise me the sky
    Then toss me like a stone

    You wrap me in your arms
    And chill me to the bone

    There's truth in your lies
    Doubt in your faith
    All I've got's what you didn't take

    [Chorus]
    So I, I won't be the one
    Be the one to leave this
    In pieces

    And you
    You will be alone
    Alone with all your secrets
    And regrets

    Don't lie

    So I, I won't be the one
    Be the one to leave this
    In pieces

    And you
    You will be alone
    Alone with all your secrets
    And regrets

    Don't lie

    Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know
    Beyonce - Me, Myself, & I

    These. And anything by Keisha Cole. That woman is all about a break up. And early Mary J. Blige. "I can love you better than she can."

    McAlmont and Butler - Yes. (If you haven't heard this utter masterpiece please go to YouTube)

    So you wanna know me now
    How I've been
    You can't help someone recover
    After what you did
    So tell me am I looking better?
    Have you forgot
    Whatever it was that you couldn't stand
    About me about me about me?

    Because...
    Yes I do feel better
    Yes I do I feel alright
    I feel well enough to tell you what you can do with what you got
    To offer
