Break up songs


Recommended Posts

What? No mention of No Doubt -- Don't Speak? If you want to cry and wallow a bit, that is.

 

Song for the Dumped -- Ben Folds Five Warning: NSFW

 

And for anyone who ever wondered how someone could just turn on a dime and no longer seem to care -- Selfless, Cold, and Composed -- Ben Folds Five

 

You simply can't find it on the internet and the snippet on iTunes is dreadful but even though it's more of an unrequited love song, I've always thought that She Never Did by Lewis Taylor could also be a break up song, mainly because of the chorus. From the album Stoned Part I, if you're into Neo Soul, check it out.

 

You can't hide away,

look at the shape you're in,

is it taking over?

Don't know what to say,

at least admit defeat

and you got to know her.

 

So it takes a thousand years

but that's the way it goes.

 

Cos after all is said and done,

she never did for anyone.

The light of your life? Don't be so sure.

You better check yourself before you throw it all away.

 

Heavy nights

feels so good but what's going on inside her?

It's a mystery

To get this close without getting any wiser

 

So you wasted all your tears

but that's the way it goes.

 

Cos after all is said and done,

she never did for anyone.

The light of your life? Don't be so sure.

You better check yourself before you throw it all away.

 

What do you think of it all so far?

Seemingly lovesick fool you are

do you like what you find

Don't look to us when you lose your mind

caught in a trap, gotta break free

but that ain't done so easily

you know where you're bound

she don't stop dragging your heart around

how many times can you take a fall

for once in your life be sensible

beware of attack

you keep on running and don't look back

maybe too blind to see her plan

that kind of love could kill a man

you're all on your own

don't act so shocked when you turn to stone

 

So you wasted all your tears

but that's the way it goes.

 

Cos after all is said and done,

she never did for anyone.

The light of your life? Don't be so sure.

You better check yourself before you throw it all away.

Hanna Pestle - Need

 

I'm not quite sure how to breathe without you here

I'm not quite sure if I'm ready to say goodbye to all we were

Be with me

Stay with me

Just for now

Let the time decide

When I won't need you

My hand searches for your hand

In a dark room

I can't find you

Help me

Are you looking for me?

Can I feel anymore?

Lie to me, I'm fading

I can't drop you

Tell me, I don't need you

My hand searches for your hand

In a dark room

I can't find you

Help me

Are you looking for me?

Etch this into my brain for me

Tell me, how it's supposed to be

Where everything will go

And how I'll be without you by my side

My hand searches for your hand

In a dark room

I can't find you

Help me

Are you looking for me?

My hand searches for your hand

In a dark room

I can't find you

Help me

Are you looking for me?

Ween - It's Gonna Be Alright

 

 

 

Baby, what have I done? Gone and left you, all alone

It's hard for me to sing this song

We've been together for so long

 

I think I know what my soul's got to say

And it won't hurt as bad, someday

 

It's gonna be alright, baby, it's gonna be alright, love

And if the mist ever lets the sun through

I'll just hope I did the right thing for me and you

 

Guess I'm ruled by my heart

Built a life and I tore it all apart, it's just not our time

But you'll find a new love and you'll be fine

 

So many dark and lonely nights

But I believe someday I'll see the light

 

It's gonna be alright, baby, it's gonna be alright, love

And if the mist ever lets the sun through

I'll just hope I did the right thing for me and you

 

It's gonna be alright, baby, it's gonna be alright, love

And if the mist ever lets the sun through

I'll just hope I did the right thing for me and you

For me and you

 

 

This song makes me tear up, every time.

Tonight Alive - "Come Home"

 

Spinning around I’m weightless

Leaving it now just taste it

It’s begun

We’ve come undone now

Spinning and I am free here

Giving it all to be here

I’m the one

Will touch this sun

 

Oh oh ohohoh

Oh oh ohohoh

We’re so close

Oh oh ohohoh

Don’t let go

 

Well if you came home

You already know

That I would be waiting

Cause I have been praying

For you to stay close

Under the light of the full moon

(Whoa)

And if you can’t stay

I’ll wait for the day

When you can be all mine

Stay up with you all night

So don’t run away

I am your light, I will guide you home

(Whoa)

 

Taking a step back wishing

That you never left

I’m missing you so bad

You’re the best thing,

The best thing I ever had

Packing my bags I’m hoping

You still feel the same

And holding on like glue

Cause the one thing,

The one thing I need is you

 

Oh oh ohohoh

Oh oh ohohoh

We’re so close

Oh oh ohohoh

Don’t let go

 

Well if you came home

You already know

That I would be waiting

Cause I have been praying

For you to stay close

Under the light of the full moon

(Whoa)

And if you can’t stay

I’ll wait for the day

When you can be all mine

Stay up with you all night

So don’t run away

I am your light, I will guide you home

(Whoa)

 

So let me take you back

To the night we had

Laying under the light of the full moon

And I would give anything

To be there with you

 

Spinning around I’m weightless

 

Well if you came home

You already know

That I would be waiting

Cause I have been praying

For you to stay close

Under the light of the full moon

(Whoa)

And if you can’t stay

I’ll wait for the day

When you can be all mine

Stay up with you all night

So don’t run away

I am your light, I will guide you home

(Whoa)

depends... for a week or two it will probably be sad and soppy stuff... a lot of adele, mariah Carey and celiene dion type how do I go on music.

 

Once that (awful) initial stage has passed I usually switch to more uplifting music.

 

some of my favs:

Let It Go - Keysha Cole

Juciest - Alicia Keys

Shake it Out - Florence + The Machine

A Fine Frenzy - Almost Lover

 

Your fingertips accross my skin

The palm trees swaying in the wind

Images

 

You sang me Spanish lullabies

The sweetest sadness in your eyes

Clever trick

 

Well, I never want to see you unhappy

I thought you'd want the same for me

 

[Chorus]

Goodbye, my almost lover

Goodbye, my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

Should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do

 

We walked along a crowded street

You took my hand and danced with me

Images

 

And when you left, you kissed my lips

You told me you would never, never forget

These images

 

Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy

I thought you'd want the same for me

 

[Chorus]

 

I cannot go to the ocean

I cannot drive the streets at night

I cannot wake up in the morning

Without you on my mind

So you're gone and I'm haunted

And I bet you are just fine

Did I make it that easy to walk right in and out

Of my life?

 

[Chorus]

citizen cope

 

You know it ain't easy

For these thoughts here to leave me

There's no words to describe it

In French or in English

Well, diamonds they fade

And flowers they bloom

And I'm telling you

These feelings won't go away

They've been knockin' me sideways

They've been knockin' me out lately

Whenever you come around me

These feelings won't go away

They've been knockin' me sideways

I keep thinking in a moment that

Time will take them away

But these feelings won't go away
