    im having man troubles, and i no we all have songs we listen to when we wallow over lost love, so i was wondering, what are your break up songs?

    mine are:
    ray charles - yesterday
    stranglers - golden brown
    rem - losing my religion

    The one after breaking up with the girl who cheated on me was When by Megadeth

    No hears a word I say
    And my prayers are never answered
    But you'll never see the pain inside of me
    Stabbing me over and over and over
    I trusted you and I loved you
    And you spit back in my face
    How could you do this to me?
    When will you stop trying to hurt me?
    I've walked a minefield for you
    A career in hell with you
    I have made it through the things
    Others would surely die just watching
    And the oath I take on this day
    Is to know that you will be repaid
    One day the the sun will die and the night will crawl
    Until then, until I see your world implode
    I wish you death and suffering
    Misery to spare
    Time to rehearse your pain
    Face the last enemy
    I am the last thing you will know
    The last thing you will see
    I see your death surrounding me
    I know you, yes I do
    I know you

    Megadeth seems to be on pretty fucked up stoner.

    Donovan's Catch the Wind was always one of my favourite songs, but it especially affected me after I got ditched by one particular girl a couple of years back;

    In the chilly hours and minutes of uncertainty,
    I want to be in the warm hold of your loving mind,
    To feel you all around me,
    And to take your hand along the sand,
    Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind.

    Oh, it was so true.

    Love Hurts...by Nazareth...but only if you play it "for" the person that you are breaking up with...and it helps if that person is completely in love with you, and you just shattered their life!!!

    Half of the songs on Todd Rundgren's Something/Anything?

    Hopeful breakups will rock out to John Legend's Ordinary People.

    "There's No Home for You Here" ~The White Stripes

    This is a rather nasty break-up song, but I love it all the same.

    There's no home for you here girl, go away
    There's no home for you here

    I'd like to think that all of this constant interaction
    Is just the kind of make you drive yourself away
    Each simple gesture done by me is counteracted
    And leaves me standing here with nothing else to say

    Completely baffled by a backward indication
    That an inspired word will come across your tongue
    Hands moving upward to propel the situation
    Have simply halted
    And now the conversation's done

    There's no home for you here girl, go away
    There's no home for you here

    I'm only waiting for the proper time to tell you
    That it's impossible to get along with you
    It's hard to look you in the face when we are talking
    So it helps to have a mirror in the room

    I've not been really looking forward to the performance
    But there's my cue and there's a question on your face
    Fortunately I have come across an answer
    Which is go away
    And do not leave a trace

    There's no home for you here girl, go away
    There's no home for you here

    Waking up for breakfast
    Burning matches
    Talking quickly
    Breaking baubles
    Throwing garbage
    Drinking soda
    Looking happy
    Taking pictures
    So completely stupid
    Just go away

    There's no home for you here girl, go away
    There's no home for you here

    Well, for me there is only one break up song...

    Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye..

    This is our last goodbye
    I hate to feel the love between us die
    But it’s over
    Just hear this and then I’ll go
    You gave me more to live for
    More than you’ll ever know

    This is our last embrace
    Must I dream and always see your face
    Why can’t we overcome this wall
    Well, maybe it’s just because I didn’t know you at all

    Kiss me, please kiss me
    But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
    You know it makes me so angry ’cause I know that in time
    I’ll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye

    Did you say ’no, this can’t happen to me,’
    And did you rush to the phone to call
    Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
    Saying maybe you didn’t know him at all
    You didn’t know him at all, oh, you didn’t know

    Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
    Burning clues into this heart of mine
    Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories
    Offer signs that it’s over... it’s over

    Ahhh those songs won't make you feel better... This one will...

    Song for the dumped by Ben Folds

    So you wanted
    to take a break
    Slow it down some and
    have some space
    Well fuck you too
    Give me my money back
    Give me my money back
    you bitch
    I want my money back
    (And don't forget to give
    me back my black T-Shirt)
    Wish I hadn't bought you dinner
    Right before you dumped me
    on your front porch
    Give me my money back
    Give me my money back
    You bitch
    I want my money back
    and don't forget
    And don't forget.

    if you get dumped then the best is "i'll be missing you" or "every step you take"

    U2 - With or Without You

    I love how the tension builds gradually in this song! And has a beautiful bass that I love to follow with my bass drum like a wave. tootoOGAToodootoOGA

    I played it live with my band on a concert the week I broke up and it was a very intense moment.

    Gladly we are back together :)

    Good luck and be well!

    Todd Rundgren wins..

    "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference"
    Do you remember the last time I said
    If I ever thought about lying,
    I'd rather think of dying instead
    And maybe you remember the last time you called me
    to say we were through
    How it took a million tears
    just to prove they all were for you
    But those days are through

    'Cause it wouldn't have made any difference,
    if you loved me
    How could you love me
    When it wouldn't really make any difference,
    if you really loved me
    You just didn't love me

    'Cause I know of hundreds of times I could be
    In the most unfaithful arms that you always picture me
    And maybe you remember that
    though I can't always show proof I was true
    No one else could change my mind or
    stop me coming home to you
    But those days are through

    You just did not love me enough to believe me
    Enough not to leave me
    Enough not to look for a reason to be unhappy with me
    And make me regret ever wanting you
    But those days are through

    "Cold Morning Light"
    I believe if I was all alone,
    I would be better off in a world my own
    I'd forget I ever knew of you, and this dream every
    night that you put me through
    We walk along a Hollywood sea
    and you dance once again with me

    We are close, we are friends
    And our love never ends
    But in the cold morning light I see
    That you won't be back for me

    The wound you left is healing and then
    it starts itching and I scratch it open again
    So the pain comes out and I give in
    and indulge my imaginations, whims
    We sit and drink Victorian tea
    and your face wears a smile for me

    I was yours, you were mine
    Our hearts bound, lost in time
    But in the cold morning light I see
    That you won`t be back
    For me there can be no peace
    For me there can be no rest
    I believe though I've tried my best
    I'm condemned it seems to a life of
    restlessness and broken dreams

    "Hello It's Me"
    Hello, it's me
    I've thought about us for a long, long time
    Maybe I think too much but something's wrong
    There's something here that doesn't last too long
    Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine

    Seeing you
    Or seeing anything as much as I do you
    I take for granted that you're always there
    I take for granted that you just don't care
    Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through

    It's important to me that you know you are free
    'Cause I never want to make you change for me

    Think of me
    You know that I'd be with you if I could
    I'll come around to see you once in a while
    Or if I ever need a reason to smile
    And spend the night if you think I should

    "I Don't Want To Tie You Down"
    Sometimes it's hard to look up under
    The times we're going through
    I scratch my head and stare and wonder
    How to face the day anew
    But it gives my life a bit more meaning
    To feel in love with you, so heavy
    I don't want to weigh you down, oh baby
    I don't want to tie you down
    I don't want a thing to mar this ever
    The picture that we make
    The balance of our minds together
    The perfect give and take
    For me to let my love possess you
    Would be the worst mistake, I'm sorry
    I don't want to bring you down, oh baby
    I don't want to tie you down, oh Jesus
    I don't want to nail you down

    "The Last Ride"
    It's the last ride
    Our little game is over
    It's the last ride
    It's time to take you home
    And we can't cry 'cause we seen it coming
    No use running, take it slower

    It's a dangerous drive
    I'm afraid to arrive
    But I strive to survive
    More a fool than alive
    I thought I knew just everything
    I had it made and I could coast
    But I turned away love when I needed it most

    It's the last ride
    My little game is over
    It's the last ride
    It's time to take me home
    And I can't cry 'cause I seen it coming
    No use running, take it slower

    And the road rolls around
    And turns through the town
    The depression drips down
    And glazes the ground
    Horizons east and skylines west
    The moon, the sun, and all the rest
    The loving son, the faithful wife
    The burnt out wreck of a poor man's life
    The father, son, and holy ghost
    They all turned away love when they needed it most

    It's the last ride
    Their little game is over
    It's the last ride
    It's time to take them home
    And they can't cry 'cause they seen it coming
    No use running, take it slower

    "Can We Still Be Friends?"
    We can't play this game anymore
    But can we still be friends
    Things just can't go on like before
    But can we still be friends
    We had something to learn
    Now it's time for the wheel to turn
    Grains of sand, one by one
    Before you know it, all gone

    Let's admit we made a mistake
    But can we still be friends
    Heartbreak's never easy to take
    But can we still be friends
    It's a strange, sad affair
    Sometimes seems like we just don't care
    Don't waste time feeling hurt
    We've been through hell together

    Can we still get together sometime
    You know life will still go on and on and on

    We awoke from our dream
    Things are not always what they seem
    Memories linger on
    It's like a sweet, sad old song
