QotD: Top 5 Break-Up Songs

What are your top five break-up songs?
Submitted by gt.

What an amiguous QOTD. There are so many emotions that can get you when you're at the end of a relationship with someone that I don't know that 5 is enough.

So what do you get from break up songs? There's always a message, whether it's bitter, expressing loneliness, sadness, anger or relief.

I'm all depressed now that you've left me

Well I never loved you anyway so what do I care?

You left me, how dare you?

I've made the biggest mistake of my life

Here are some of my fave songs on the QOTD theme
--------------------

I wish I could just make you turn around, turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you, so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now
It's over

And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.

 

 

You bored me with your stories
I can't believe that I endured you for as long as I did
I'm happy, it's over, I'm only sorry
That I didn't make the move before you

I carry a smile when I'm broken in two
And I'm nobody without someone like you
I'm trembling at night and
Nobody knows it but me

 

 

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts

 

 

---------------------

Personally though, I quite like the 'Stuff-you-I've-learnt-I'm-better-off-without-you' theme.

 

Funny how quick the milk turns sour
Isn't it, isn't it
Your face has been looking like that for hours
Hasn't it, hasn't it
Promises, promises turn to dust
Wedding bells just turn to rust
Trust into mistrust
