Breakup songs

Recommended Posts

This one does it for me. It was the last song my man sent me. I'll always remember....

Put out your hand, open up your heart.
How can I love you when we're so far apart?
And all I want is your love.
All I want is your love.

Put out your hand, open up your mind.
How can you love me then just leave me behind?
When all I want is your love.
When all I-I want is your love.

Here I am waiting for you, here I am all alone.
Here I am waiting for you, tell me what went wrong.
All I want is your love.
All I want is your love.
I want your love.

Tell me that you love me, that you're never going leave me,
That you're never gonna hurt me, that you never will deceive me,
That you're thinking that you'll see me, that you're always thinking of me,
Tell me.
You want my love, you want my love.

Put out your hand, open up your heart.
How can I love you when we're so far apart?
When all I want is your love.
All I want is your love.

Here I am waiting for you, here I am all alone.
Here I am waiting for you, tell me what went wrong.
All I want is your love.
All I want is your love.
I want your love.

I want your love.
Oh.
Yeah.
I want your love, I want your love.
Oh, I want your love.


Heartbreak sucks.:(

"Just Another High", by Roxy Music (Bryan Ferry, Siren, 1975)

Maybe your heart is aching
I wouldn't know, now would I
Maybe your spirit's breaking up
I shouldn't care, now should I

Maybe you're thinking of me
Well I don't know, now do I
If only you knew how I feel
Wish I could die, now don't I

I'm just another crazy guy
Playing at love was another high
Just another high

Couldn't believe me eyes
You drifted into my life
But marriages made in heaven
Can they survive in this life

Surely it came as no surprise
Love was too hot to handle
Well I really blew my cool and you
You just blew out the candle

Didn’t you just try just another high
Didn’t you sigh as you waved goodbye
Just another high

I’m just another crazy guy
Playing at love was another high
Such a crazy high

Lately it seems so empty here
But I suppose I’m alright
Maybe tomorrow’s not so clear
Still I remember that night

Singing to you like this is
My only way to reach you
Though I´m too proud to say it
Oh how I long too see you

Shattered my dreams, by your goodbye
As shattered my goodbye, as filled the sky
Desolate am I

Just another crazy guy
Playing at love was another high
Such a crazy high

Maybe I should start anew
And maybe I should find someone who
Will maybe love me like I love you

Maybe I´m too stuck on you
Maybe I got stuck on you

This one dates me but....

Phil Collins "I don't care anymore"

Well you can tell ev'ryone I'm a down disgrace
Drag my name all over the place.
I don't care anymore.
You can tell ev'rybody 'bout the state I'm in
You won't catch me crying 'cos I just can't win.
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
I don't care what you say I don't play the same games you play.
'Cos I've been talking to the people that you call your friends
And it seems to me there's a means to and end.
They don't care anymore.
And as for me I can sit here and bide my time
I got nothing to lose if I speak my mind.
I don't care anymore I don't care no more
I don't care what you say
We never played by the same rules anyway.
I won't be there anymore
Get out of my way
Let me by I got better things to do with my time
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore
Well, I don't care now what you say
'Cos ev'ry day I'm feeling fine with myself
And I don't care now what you say
Hey I'll do alright by myself
'Cos I know.
'Cos I remember all the times I tried so hard
And you laughed in my face 'cos you held all the cards.
I don't care anymore.
And I really ain't bothered what you think of me
'Cos all I want of you is just a let me be.
I don't care anymore
D'you hear? I don't care no more
I don't care what you say
I never did believe you much anyway.
I won't be there no more
So get out of my way.
Let me by I got better things to do with my time
I don't care anymore
D'you hear? I don't care anymore
I don't care no more
You listening? I don't care no more
No more!
You know I don't care no more!

During and after my divorce some time ago this song really made me reflect. I don't know if it's just the lyrics or the melody that goes along with it.


CANDLEBOX "FAR BEHIND"

Now maybe
I didn't mean to treat you bad
But I did it anyway
And now maybe
Some would say your life was sad
But you lived it anyway
And so maybe
Your friends they stand around they watch your crumble
As you falter to the ground
And then someday
Your friends they stand beside as you were flying
Oh you were flying oh so high

But them someday people look at you for what they call their own
They watch you suffer
Yeah they hear you calling home
But then some day we could take our time
To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us
But you left me far behind

Now maybe
I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now maybe some would say you're left with what you had
But you couldn't share the pain

No, no, no
Couldn't share the pain, they watch you suffer

Now maybe I could have made my own mistakes
But I live with what I've known
And then maybe we might share in something great
But won't you look at where we've grown
Won't you look at where we've gone
But then someday comes tomorrow holds a sense of what I feel for you in my mind
As you trip the final line
And that cold day when you lost control
Shame you left my life so soon you should have told me
But you left me far behind
Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now maybe some would say you're left with what you had
But you couldn't share the pain
No, no, no

Oh no
Oh no no no no...
Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now maybe some would say you're left with what you had
But you couldn't share the pain
I said times have changed your friends
They come and watch you crumble to the ground
They watch you suffer
Yeah, they hold you down
Hold you down
Now maybe brother, maybe love
I didn't mean to treat you bad
But you left me far behind
Left me far behind
Left me far
Behind

I still like it alot

Blinc 182, Dude Ranch, Dammit, says it all. I've seen it on a couple of tandem vids, including my ex's.[:/]

It's alright, to tell me, what you think, about me
I won't try, to argue, or hold it, against you
I know that, you're leaving, you must have, your reasons
the season, is calling, and your pictures, are falling down

The steps that, I retrace, the sad look, on your face
the timing, and structure, did you hear, he fucked her?
a day late, a buck short, I'm writing, the report
on losing, and failing, when I move, I'm flailing now

And it's happened once again
I'll turn to a friend
someone that understands
sees through the master plan

But everybody's gone
and I've been here for too long
to face this on my own
well I guess this is growing up
well I guess this is growing up

And maybe, I'll see you, at a movie, sneak preview
you'll show up, and walk by, on the arm, of that guy
and I'll smile, and you'll wave, we'll pretend, it's okay
the charade, it won't last, when he's gone, I won't come back

And it'll happen once again
you'll turn to a friend
someone that understands
and sees through the master plan

But everybody's gone
and you've been there for too long
to face this on your own
well I guess this is growing up

Well, I guess this is growing up
well, I guess this is growing up
well, I guess this is growing up
well, I guess this is growing up
well, I guess this is growing up

Three Days Grace
Everything About You

everytime we lie awake
after every hit we take
every feeling that i get
but i haven't missed you yet
every room-mate kept awake
by every sigh and scream we make
all the feelings that i get
but i still don't miss you yet

only when i stop to think about it

i hate everything about you
why do i love you
i hate everything about you
why do i love you

everytime we lie awake
after every hit we take
every feeling that i get
but i haven't missed you yet

only when i stop to think about it

i hate everything about you
why do i love you
i hate everything about you
why do i love you

only when i stop to think about you,
i know
only when you stop to think about me,
do you know

i hate everything about you
why do i love you
you hate everything about me
why do you love me

i hate
you hate
i hate
you love me

i hate everything about you
why do i love you

Well since probably 80% of the songs that are out there are either about loving someone or being pissed off because they betrayed that love, it's pretty easy to just throw a dart in a general direction, with your eyes closed, and hit a song that could fit into this thread.

Anyway, here's another one:

Stabbing Westward (really any song by these guys would qualify)
I Don't Believe:

I'm such an asshole
God I'm such a stain
I just keep fucking up again and again
You crawled inside my mind when you crawled into my bed
Said everything I've ever longed to hear
So perfect, so alive, once inside you sucked me dry
Used me up and left me here for dead
I crave it desperately, a cancer eating me
An addiction too intense to be denied
Worthless, I'm a whore, crawling back for more
Pathertic how I feed off this abuse
You told me that you loved me
You swore that you loved me
And I believed, now I know it was a lie

[chorus]
I don't believe
I don't believe
That I could be so stupid and so naive
I don't believe
I don't believe
That there is nothing, nothing left for me

ROD STEWART LYRICS
" I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT "
LYRICS


I can tell by your eyes that you’ve prob’bly been cryin’ forever,
And the stars in the sky don’t mean nothin’ to you, they’re a mirror.
I don’t want to talk about it, how you broke my heart.
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
If I stay here, won’t you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?

If I stand all alone, will the shadow hide the color of my heart;
Blue for the tears, black for the night’s fears.
The star in the sky don’t mean nothin’ to you, they’re a mirror.
I don’t want to talk about it, how you broke my heart.
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
If I stay here, won’t you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
I don’t want to talk about it, how you broke this ol’ heart.

If I stay here just a little bit longer,
If I stay here, won’t you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
My heart, whoa, heart.


I guess that does it for me, love stinks!

I'm really surprised no one's mentioned it before now. One of the best 'angry break up' albums of all time is Broken by Nine Inch Nails.

Quote

Gave Up
perfect little dream
the kind that hurts the most
forgot how it feels
well almost
no one to blame
always the same
open my eyes
wake up
wake up
wake up
wake up
wake up in flames

it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me see the light

smashed up my sanity
smashed up integrity
smashed up what i believed in
smashed up what's left of me
smashed up my everything
smashed up all that was true
gonna smash myself to pieces
i don't know what else to do

covered with hope and vaseline
still cannot fix this broken machine
watching the hole it used to be mine
just watching it burn in my steady systematic decline
of the trust i will betray
give it to me i throw it away
after everything i've done
i hate myself for what i've become

it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me see the light

smashed up my sanity
smashed up integrity
smashed up what i believed in
smashed up what's left of me
smashed up my everything
smashed up all that was true
gonna smash myself to pieces
i don't know what else to do

i tried
i gave up
i tried
i gave up
i tried
i gave up
i tried
i gave up
i tried
i gave up
i tried
i gave up
i tried
i gave up
i tried
and i gave up

smashed up my sanity
smashed up integrity
smashed up what i believed in
smashed up what's left of me
smashed up my everything
smashed up all that was true
gonna smash myself to pieces
i don't know what else to do (throw it away)

smashed up my sanity
smashed up integrity (throw it away)
smashed up what i believed in
smashed up what's left of me (throw it away)
smashed up my everything
smashed up all that was true (throw it away)
gonna smash myself to pieces
i don't know what else to do (throw it away)

smashed up my sanity
smashed up integrity (throw it away)
smashed up what i believed in
smashed up what's left of me (throw it away)
smashed up my everything
smashed up all that was true (throw it away)
gonna smash myself to pieces
i don't know what else to do (throw it away)

smashed up my everything
smashed up all that was true (throw it away)
gonna smash myself to pieces
i don't know what else to do (throw it away)
(throw it away)
(throw it away)
(throw it away)
(throw it away)

two from Chris Cornell

I am the Highway

Pearls and swine bereft of me
Long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the cities
Alone in the hills
No sorrow or pity for leaving I feel

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky

Friends and liars don't wait for me
I'll get on all by myself
I put millions of miles
Under my wings
And still too close to you
I feel

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet
I am the sky
I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightning
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night


Like Suicide
Heard it from another room
Eyes were waking up just to fall asleep
Love’s like suicide
Dazed out in a garden bed
With a broken neck lays my broken gift
Just like suicide

And my last ditch
Was my last brick
Lent to finish her
Finish her

Bit down on the bullet now
I had a taste so sour
I had to think of something sweet
Love’s like suicide
Safe outside my gilded cage
With an ounce of pain
I wield a ton of rage
Just like suicide

With eyes of blood
And bitter blue
How I feel for you
I feel for you

She lived like a murder
How she’d fly so sweetly
She lived like a murder
But she died
Just like suicide

OK, going back a LONG way here....one of my favorite pissed off, hilarious break-up songs:

Tonio K - "Hatred"

(opening just acoustic guitar, sung in laid-back 70s singer-songwriter mode)

Now I know it's not unusual
There's nothing so unique
There's probably hundreds of wonderful love affairs,
that go bad in this town every week (it's a big town)
But all of them others, those sad-hearted lovers
can cry in their beer, what the hey
It didn't concern me, was none of my business,
I never had nothing to say

But suddenty darling, your table has turned,
you have left me for somebody new,
and now it's hard to express the resentment I feel
for the years that I've wasted on you

But lemme, kinda, put this another way...OK?

(Heavy, feedback-laden punk song starts here)

Eins, Zwei, Drei, Vier!

I know it's not unusual, there's nothing so unique
There's probably hundreds of wonderful love affairs,
that go bad in this town every week
But all of them others, those sad-hearted lovers
can cry in their beer, what the hey
It didn't concern me, was none of my business,
I never had nothing to say

But suddenly darling, your table has turned,
you have left me for somebody new
and now it's hard to express the resentment I feel
for the years that I've pissed away on you,
I'm so full of...

H-A-T-R-E-D
I'm bitter, I'm malign,
You've got me P-I-S-S-E-D off
I'm angry most of the time
Why don't you G-O-T-O-H-E-double L
You tramp, you philandering bitch,
I'm going to K-I-L-L one of us baby,
When I'm sober I'll decide on which.

I know I'm acting immatuuuure
I'm acting like a child,
I should display some self-control
Instead of gong wild like this
and I guess I should accept all this as simply life
which includes pain!
And act upon the actual fact that
NOBODY'S to blame

Ah yes I wish I was as mellow,
As, for instance, Jaskson Browne,
But "Fountain of Sorrow" my ass, motherfucker,
I hope you wind up in the ground, I'm so full of...

H-A-T-R-E-D
I'm bitter, I'm malign
You've got me P-I-S-S-E-D off
I'm angry most of the time
Why don't you G-O-T-O-H-E-double L
You tramp, you bitch,
I'm going to K-I-L-L one if us baby,
When I'm sober I'll decide on which.

(Note to Jackson Browne fans: he was actually a part of the session team that made this song, so I'm pretty sure he was OK with the reference ;))

A buddy of mine in England wrote a couple of good ones from totally different perspectives.

I'm Leaving Anyway
(A. Stedman)
I can't believe you blame me
For wanting to be free now that you've tried to change me
Don't you realise that you can't re-arrange me into a mirror-image of you?

In the beginning things were just fine
Until we started to spend just too much time together
Living in each others' shadows, now I've lost me and you've lost you

We can talk keep talking about it, there's nothing left to say
We can talk keep talking about it, we can talk all day
But I'm leaving anyway

If we're fighting all of the time, if we just can't make it
We should give it a break while we're still friends
What's the point of hating the time that we spend together
It's sad but this is the end

We can talk keep talking about it, there's nothing left to say
We can talk keep talking about it, we can talk all day
But I'm leaving anyway

We both know that the passion has gone
And it's time to move on


September Sun

The September sun pours through my window
And I wonder if I'll ever see you again
Why should it be so set in stone
Is there a heart beneath your skin
Beneath your bones, dear?
Will you always be alone, dear?

Please excuse me, if I'm sad for those days
Please excuse me if I feel I'm been fooled
Please excuse me if I thought that this was more than just a fling for the months of summer

All the moments we shared meant nothing to you
That I let you near meant nothing to you
All the records I played you meant nothign to you
The part of me that I gave you meant nothing to you

So please excuse me, if I feel I've been used
Please excuse me, for being myself
Please excuse me if I build up a wall around my soul
But I just can't let you do that to me
I've just got to forget you.


My wife is hotter than your wife.

I Fucking Hate You

For everything you do
I'd like to swallow you
And everyday I'm gonna blame you
Even if you justify
Every fucking bullshit lie
It only makes me want to break you
You pull me down
And you crucify my name
You make me insane
It's broken now
Don't ever look my way
Don't even think I'm playin'
'Cause I fucking hate you
You're such a liar
And I love to hate you
You're all the same to me
When you repeated me
Take advantage of me
The only thought I get of you sickens me
Everybody knows your fate
You're everything I fucking hate
And I'm everything that you could never be
You pull me down
And you crucify my name
You make me insane
It's broken now
Don't ever look my way
Don't even think I'm playin'
'Cause I fucking hate you
You're such a liar
And I love to hate you
You're all the same to me
I fucking you hate you
You're such a liar
And I love to hate you
You're all the same to me
(Fuck you)
(Fuck you)
(Fuck you)
You pull me down
And you crucify my name
You make me insane
It's broken now
Don't ever look my way
Don't even think I'm playin'
'Cause I fucking hate you
You're such a liar
And I love to hate you
You're all the same to me
And I fucking hate
You're such a liar
And I love to hate you
You're all the same to me
Fuck you (fuck you)
Fuck you (fuck you)
Fuck you (fuck you)
Fuck you (fuck you)


"...just an earthbound misfit, I."
