what's your heartbreak song?

[SuperDave71]

This one is my favorite:

 

 

Brian McKnight - One Last Cry

 

 

My shattered dreams and broken heart

Are mending on the shelf

I saw you holding hands, standing close to someone else

Now I sit all alone wishing all my feeling was gone

I gave my best to you, nothing for me to do

But have one last cry

 

Chorus:

One last cry, before I leave it all behind

I’ve gotta put you outta my mind this time

Stop living a lie

I guess I’m down to my last cry

 

Cry......

 

I was here, you were there

Guess we never could agree

While the sun shines on you

I need some love to rain on me

Still I sit all alone, wishing all my feeling was gone

Gotta get over you, nothing for me to do

But have one last cry

 

Chorus:

One last cry, before I leave it all behind

I’ve gotta put you outta my mind this time

Stop living a lie

I know I gotta be strong

Cause round me life goes on and on and on

And on.....

 

I’m gonna dry my eyes

Right after I had my

One last cry

 

Chorus:

One last cry, before I leave it all behind

I’ve gotta put you outta my mind for the very last time

Been living a lie

I guess I’m down

I guess I’m down

I guess I’m down...

To my last cry...

Break up songs? "Kickstart My Heart" and "Wild Side" by Motley Crue. They get me fired up to go out and do something better than sitting around wallowing in broken hearts and shattered dreams...

[need2bme]

One More Day - Diamond Rio

I Swear - All 4 One

 

Hey Frisco, your post made me think of something. I too felt that sometimes I somehow needed to just ball up and cry, to get things released. Part of me actually WANTED to do this.

 

I wonder why that is...

The only analogy I can think of is the crying is like throwing up when you are sick...your body needs to get it out...and you feel better afterwards...

[Dako]

That's how it works for me.

After a period of being a blubbering mess, I feel stronger.

[mikeca]

hmm well sad wise theres

 

Theory of a Deadman - Since you've been gone

Kid Rock/Sheryl Crow - Picture

3 doors down - Here without you

Reo Speedwagon (plays at work) - Keep on loving you

Also I think this one is my "NC Song"

 

Lenny Kravitz - Again

5. Just Once - James Ingram

6. End of the Road - Boys 2 Men

Which Will: Nick Drake

 

Which will you go for

Which will you love

Which will you choose from

From the stars above

Which will you answer

Which will you call

Which will you take for

For your one and all

And tell me now

Which will you love the best.

 

Which do you dance for

Which makes you shine

Which will you choose now

If you won't choose mine

Which will you hope for

Which can it be

Which will you take now

If you won't take me

And tell me now

Which will you love the best.

If you need a friend

 

It's gonna take a little time, I know, time is sure to mend your broken heart

But don't you even worry, pretty darlin, 'cos I know you'll find love again

 

Love is all around you, love is knockin' outside your door

Waitin' for you is this love made just for two

Keep an open heart and you'll find love again, I know

 

Love is all around you, yeah yeah, love is knockin' outside your door

Waitin' for you is this love made just for two

Keep an open heart and you'll find love again, I know

 

[solo]

 

It's all around

It's all around

 

Love will find a way - darlin', love is gonna find a way

Find its way back to you

Love will find a way - so look around, open your eyes

Love is gonna find a way - love is gonna, love is gonna

Love is gonna, love is gonna find a way, yeah

Love will find a way - love is gonna find a way back to you, yeah yeah yeah

 

[solo]

 

Love will find a way - darlin', love is gonna find a way

Find its way back to you

Love will find a way - oh just look around, look around

[Holiday]

hahaha, no harm, no foul. I need to check out the AG song!

[dwbh]

Lauryn Hill - Ex Factor

 

It could all be so simple

But you'd rather make it hard

Loving you is like a battle

And we both end up with scars

Tell me, who I have to be

To get some reciprocity

No one loves you more than me

And no one ever will

 

Is this just a silly game

That forces you to act this way

Forces you to scream my name

Then pretend that you can't stay

Tell me, who I have to be

To get some reciprocity

No one loves you more than me

And no one ever will

 

[Hook

No matter how I think we grow

You always seem to let me know

It ain't workin'

It ain't workin'

And when I try to walk away

You'd hurt yourself to make me stay

This is crazy

This is crazy

 

I keep letting you back in

How can I explain myself

As painful as this thing has been

I just can't be with no one else

See I know what we got to do

You let go and I'll let go too

'Cause no one's hurt me more than you

And no one ever will

[super ian]

wow I've listened to ex factor a thousand times and never really listened to the lyrics...

 

eery how they describe everything I am feeling right to the very detail.

 

Good one, dwbh

[Oldboy]

One .... U2

[krieg]

Wind beneath my wings (sonata artica cover instead of bette midler)

[lvlyldy]

This song has helped me lately- everytime I get the urge to try to contact my ex, I listen to this.... OH and Dont Wanna Try- Frankie J

 

Karma- Alicia Keys

 

Weren't you the one that said, that you don't want me anymore.

And how you need your space, and give the keys back to your door.

And how I cried and tried and tried to make you stay with me.

But still you said that love was gone, and that I had to leave.

Now you, talkin bout a family

Now you, sayin I complete your dream

Now you, sayin I'm your everything

You confusin me

What you say to me

Don't play with me

Don't play with me.

 

Cause what goes around, comes around.

What goes up, must come down.

Now who's cryin, desirin to come back to me

What goes around, comes around.

What goes up, must come down.

Now who's cryin, desirin to come back

 

I remember when

I was sittin home alone

Waitin for you

Til 3 o'clock in the morn

And when you came home, you'd always have some sorry excuse.

And explainin to me, like I'm just some kinda fool

I sacrifice the things I want to and do things for you

But when it's time to do for me, you never come through

 

Now you, wanna be a bond of me (eyyy)

Now you, have so much to say to me (heyy)

Now you, wanna make time for me

What you do to me.

You confusin me

Don't play with me

Don't play with me.

 

Cause what goes around, comes around.

What goes up, must come down.

Now who's cryin, desirin to come back to me

What goes around, comes around.

What goes up, must come down.

Now who's cryin, desirin to come back

 

I remember when

I was sittin home alone

Waitin for you

Til 3 o'clock in the morn

Night after night

Knowin sumthing goin on

Wasn't home befo me

You was,you was gone

Lord knows it wasn't easy, but believe me.

Never thought you'd be the one that would deceived me.

And never do wha u was supposed to do

No need to hose me fool, cause I'm ova you

 

Cause what goes around, comes around.

What goes up, must come down.

Now who's cryin, desirin to come back to me

What goes around, comes around.

What goes up, must come down.

 

Gotta stop tryin, to come back to me

What goes around, comes around.

What goes up, must come down.

It's called Karma baby.

And it goes around.

What goes around, comes around,

What goes up, must comes down,

Now who's cryin, desirin to come back to me

[Daddy Bear]

not long ago i posted what i consider to be two of the best songs to help girls get over a breakup:

 

(illegal download reference removed)

 

so, in the interest of balance and fair play, here are two for the guys:

 

"Down With The Sickness" - Disturbed

 

"I F------ Hate You" - SOAD

 

um, i don't think i should post the lyrics from these...

[StephenP59]

This is a good one Rilo Kiley - A Better Son/Daughter

 

makes me feel better:

 

Sometimes in the morning I am petrified and can't move.

Awake, but cannot open my eyes.

And the weight is crushing down on my lungs, I know I can't breath.

And hope someone will save me this time.

And your mother's still calling you insane and high

Swearing it's different this time.

And you tell her to give in to the demons that possess her

And that God never blessed her insides.

Then you hang up the phone and feel badly for upsetting

Things and crawl back into bed to dream of a time

When your heart was open wide and you loved things just because

Like the sick and the dying.

 

And sometimes when you're on, you're really f**king on

And your friends they sing along and they love you.

But the lows are so extreme that the good seems f**king cheap

And it teases you for weeks in its absense.

 

But you'll fight and you'll make it through

You'll fake it if you have to and you'll show up to work with a smile

You'll be better and you'll be smarter and more grown up

And a better daughter or son and a real good friend

And you'll be awake, you'll be alert, you'll be positive though it hurts

And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends

You'll be a real good listener, you'll be honest, you'll be brave

You'll be handsome and you'll be beautiful.

You'll be happy.

 

Your ship may be coming in.

You're weak, but not giving in

To the cries and the wails of the valley below.

And your ship may be coming in.

You're weak, but not giving in.

And you'll fight it, you'll go out fighting all of them.
