    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


    Oh God.. I remember one night (before my husband moved out and I was still scared) listening to the whole album CRYING and drinking wine. NOT GOOD.



    My break up song is Kelly Clarkson's "Since You Been Gone". It's not depressing.. it's relieving! Whew!!!!

    Dixie Chicks - Am I the Only One

    There is no good reason
    I should have to be so alone
    I'm smothered by this emptiness
    Lord I wish I was made of stone
    Like I fool I lent my soul to love
    And it paid me back in change
    God help me
    Am I the only one who's ever felt this way?

    A heart that's worn and weathered
    Would know better than to fight
    But I wore mine like a weapon
    Played out love like a crime
    And it wrung me out and strung me out
    And it hung years on my face
    God help me
    Am I the only one who's ever felt this way?


    Now my sense of humor needs a break
    I see a shadow in the mirror
    And she's laughin' through her tears
    One more smile's all I can fake


    There is a wound inside me
    And it's bleeding like a flood
    There's times when I see a light ahead
    Hope is not enough
    As another night surrounds me
    And it pounds me like a wave
    God help me
    Am I the only one who's ever felt this way?

    God help me
    Am I the only one who's ever felt this way?

    Happy Happy Joy Joy from Ren & Stimpy

    OK maybe I don't really have one. But if I did, that would probably be it.

    Although, Tangled Up In Blue (Bob Dylan), Ghost (Indigo Girls), and Martha (Tom Waits) all have meaning to me to this day.

    "What have I done to deserve this" By The Pet Shop Boys and Dusty Springfield.

    I remember playing this over and over again (on vinyl) when I was dumped once.

    Picture perfect memories,
    Scattered all around the floor.
    Reaching for the phone cause, I cant fight it anymore.
    And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.

    Ha ha ha ha! Yeah, I've just gone through a long winded breakup and if I dwell on how hurt I was, or am, I'd never get out of bed. It's times like this I like to listen to a song or two that just mocks the whole thing. It's really therapeutic to listen to songs with those sorts of titles. If you like the titles, you should read the lyrics. :laugh:

    This song would upset me very much if I were going through a break up. LOL

    Break up songs! How negative! I love to get my blood pumping when I've been through breakups so fun dancey poppy stuff! Makes me happier and not fall in to a pool of self pity and comfort eating!

    Besides adele, which people have already listed......Gotye-somebody that i used to know

    Now and then I think of when we were together
    Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
    Told myself that you were right for me
    But felt so lonely in your company
    But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

    You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
    Like resignation to the end, always the end
    So when we found that we could not make sense
    Well you said that we would still be friends
    But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

    But you didn't have to cut me off
    Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
    And I don't even need your love
    But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
    No you didn't have to stoop so low
    Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
    I guess that I don't need that though
    Now you're just somebody that I used to know

    Now you're just somebody that I used to know
    Now you're just somebody that I used to know

    [Kimbra:]
    Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
    But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
    And I don't wanna live that way
    Reading into every word you say
    You said that you could let it go
    And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

    [Gotye:]
    But you didn't have to cut me off
    Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
    And I don't even need your love
    But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
    And you didn't have to stoop so low
    Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
    I guess that I don't need that though
    Now you're just somebody that I used to know

    Somebody
    (I used to know)
    Somebody
    (Now you're just somebody that I used to know) [x2]

  • Breathe Again
    By: Sara Bareilles
    Lyrics
    Car is parked, bags are packed
    But what kind of heart doesn't look back
    At the comfortable glow from the porch
    The one I will still call yours

    All those words came undone
    And now I'm not the only one
    Facing the ghosts that decide
    If the fire inside still burns

    All I have, all I need
    He's the air I would kill to breathe
    Holds my love in his hands
    Still I'm searching for something
    Out of breath
    I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
    I'll breathe again

    Open up next to you
    And my secrets become your truth
    And the distance between
    That was sheltering me comes in full view

    Hang my head, break my heart
    Built from all I have torn apart
    And my burden to bear
    Is a love I can't carry anymore

    All I have, all I need
    He's the air I would kill to breathe
    Holds my love in his hands
    Still I'm searching for something
    Out of breath
    I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again

    It hurts to be here
    I only wanted love from you
    It hurts to be here
    What am I gonna do?

    All I have, all I need
    He's the air I would kill to breathe
    Holds my love in his hands
    Still I'm searching

    All I have, all I need
    He's the air I would kill to breathe
    Holds my love in his hands
    Still I'm searching for something
    Out of breath
    I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
    I'll breathe again....
