Soprano Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Always - Bonjovi That song either makes me really happy, or break down crying. Link to comment
bronte Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 "The Cheapest Key" by Kathleen Edwards (or her song "In State", if you want to fantasize about your ex being a criminal and calling the cops on him--which is a more satisfying fantasy than you might think! Kathleen Edwards is all kinds of awesome.) "Easy" or "Jenny Says" by Cowboy Mouth "Don't Waste Your Time" by Kelly Clarkson "Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)" by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss Link to comment
WomanWriter Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Personally, anything having to do with relationships (especially slow or angry songs) doesn't do it for me at all. I NEED some dance, jazz, face-paced 80s New Wave. I recommend Joe Satriani, Depeche Mode, Men Without Hats (nothing break-uppy about them!), Wang Chung, etc. Their songs are so cheesy, lots of rythm and beat, etc. you will be thinking about getting in the groove of what you're doing...no ex wallowing there!

OliStu Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Tina Turner Tina Turner Tina Turner. She is one strong woman. She left a terrible situation with only the clothes on her back and some change in her pocket. She is one tough mama. Another thing is to listen to music that you only associate with good times. Right now I am totally into Michael Jackson (RIP) and "Off the Wall" and "Thriller" albums. I have only good memories associated with it and it was before any heartbreak I had ever gone through. If you want angry break up music- Three Days Grace --"I hate everything about you" P.S. Watching a marathon of "Sex and the City" always helps too. This short clip has a great line and some fabu chill music in the background Link to comment

Talus Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Breakeven - The Script I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing, Just prayin' to a god that I don't believe in, 'Coz I got time while she got freedom, 'Coz 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 first, While I'm wide awake, she's no trouble sleeping, 'Coz when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even no. What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're 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 'Coz she's moved on while I'm still grieving And when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even no. What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok I'm falling to pieces, yeah I'm falling to pieces, yeah I'm falling to pieces, (One still in love while the other one's leaving) I'm falling to pieces, ('Coz 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 tryna make sense of what little remains, oh. 'Coz you left me with no love, with no love to my name. I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing, Just prayin' to a god that I don't believe in, 'Coz I got time while she got freedom, 'Coz when a heart breaks no it don't break, no it don't break, no it don't break even no. What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok I'm falling to pieces, yeah I'm falling to pieces, yeah I'm falling to pieces, (One still in love while the other one's leaving) I'm falling to pieces, ('Coz when a heart breaks no it don't break even) Oh, it don't break even, no Oh, it don't break even, no Oh, It don't break even, no The Man Who Can't be Moved - The Script Going Back to the corner where I first saw you Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand saying, "if you see this girl can you tell her where I am" Some people try to hand me money, they don't understand I'm not broke I'm just a broken hearted man I know it makes no sense but what else can I do How can I move on when I'm still in love with you Cuase If one day you wake up and find your missing me and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be Thinkin maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street So I'm not moving, I'm not moving Policeman says, "son you can't stay here" I said, "there's someone I'm waiting for If it's a day, a month, a year" Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go Cause If one day you wake up and find your missing me and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be Thinkin maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street So I'm not moving, I'm not moving, I'm not moving, I'm not moving People talk about the guy that's waiting on a girl There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world Maybe i'll get famous as the man who can't be moved Maybe you wont mean to but you'll see me on the news And you'll come running to the corner cuase you'll know it's just for you Im the man who can't be moved Chorus 2x Going Back to the corner where I first saw you Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move If You See Kay - The Script If you see my friend, doesn't matter where or when, tell me if you see Kay, tell me if you see Kay. x 2 She said i won the battle but i lost the war, and now my head is sore, and if i try sail back in, shes gon' push me from the shore, now i won't ever get the time of day, No way, no way, no now for what i said, but for what i didn't say x 2 so Chorus If you see kay will you tell her that i love her if you see kay let her know i want her back if she listens say i'm missing everything about her make sure you say, i'm sweet FA without her If you see kay She got me saying sorry through the door, She don't care anymore, She says its too late now, Should have thought of this before, But i ain't gonna take this as defeat, No way No way no, Cos i'm gonna shout it out to everyone, Everyone I meet Chorus Now i'm sitting here in disbelief, At how it truly broke my heart to have to watch her leave, But she was torn between what she wants and what she needs, They say you love someone enough you gotta set them free, She said that was born to leave this town behind, Knew the truth but still she looked me in the eyes and lied, Saying its time to cut the ties, Time to say goodbye, So she left But she never never left my.. never never left my mind.. Chorus Before the Worst - The Script It's been a while since the two of us talked About a week since the day that you walked Knowing things would never be the same With your empty heart and mine full of pain So explain to me, how it came to this Let’s take it back to the night we kissed It was Dublin city on a Friday night With vodkas and coke, I was getting(… We were sitting with our backs against the world Saying things that we thought but never heard Who would have thought it would end up like this? But everything we talked about is gone And the only chance we have of moving on Was trying to take it back before it all went wrong Before the worst Before we met Before our hearts decided it’s time to love again Before today Before too long Let’s try and take it back before it all went wrong There was a time that we’d stay up all night Best friends, yeah, talking til the daylight Took the joys alongside the pain With not much to lose but so much to gain Are you hearing me? Cuz I don’t wanna miss That you would drift on memory bliss It was Grafton street, on a rainy night I was down on one knee and you were mine for life We were thinking we would never be apart With your name tattooed accross my heart Who would have thought it would end up like this? But everything we talked about is gone And the only chance we have of moving on Was trying to take it back before it all went wrong Before the worst Before we met Before our hearts decided it’s time to love again Before today Before too long Let’s try and take it back before it all went wrong Link to comment
