Which break-up song has ever spoken to you the most? (page 2)

imallgrowedup

These are great suggestions! Gadget, I've never heard the song you refer to, but it brought tears to my eyes. And Rayzor, you're right, the imagery in the song you talk about is just so..... sad. And, HoChiMin, I love anything by Don Henley. And this song is no exception. It does speak to your heart, doesn't it?

Here's another heartbreaker:

I Will Always Love You

Whitney Houston

If I should stay
I would only be in your way,
So I'll go, but I know
I will think of you every step of the way.

And I... will always love you, will always love you...
you, my darling you, you

Bittersweet memories,
That is all I'm taking with me.
So good bye, please don't cry.
We both know I'm not what you, you need.

And I-ee-I... will always love you-oo, I will always love you-oo

(Saxaphone solo)

I hope life treats you kind,
And I hope you have all you dreamed of.
And I wish you joy and happiness,
but above all this i wish you, love.

And I-ee-I will always love you-oo, I will always love you, I will always love
you-oo, I will always love you-oooo, I will always love you-oooo, I , I will
always love...you, you, darling I love you, oh I will always, I will always
love, you-oooo.

How does one keep food down when they are in pain and listening to songs like this?!

The Hollies - Long Dark Road

It's over, well over, In my mind and in my heart. It's over, well over. But then again, it didn't have a good start. You tell me, try sell me It could've been all I asked. It's over, well over, Yes, there it flows away, a distant past. Now, it's a long, dark road. It's a long, dark road. And you know I love you. Yes, you know I love you. It's over, well over. And we can't revive what's past. It's gone now, moved on now. But then again, it didn't have a chance to last. Now, it's a long, dark road. It's a long, dark road. And you know I love you. Yes, you know I love you.

Thire Eye Blind-Motercycle drive by.

Summer time and the wind is blowing outside in lower Chelsea.
And I don't know what I'm doing in this city,
The sun is always in my eyes,
It crashes through the windows, And I'm sleeping on the couch,
When I came to visit you,
That's when I knew, That I could never have you,
I knew that before you did,
Still I'm the one who's stupid,
And there's this burning, Like there's always been,
I've never been so alone, And I've never been so alive.

Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by,
The cigarette ash flies in your eyes, And you don't mind,
you smile,
And say the world doesn't fit with you.
I don't believe you, You're so serene.
Careening through the universe, Your axis on a tilt, You're guiltless and free,
I hope you take a piece of me with you,
And there's things I would like to do that you don't believe in,
I would like to build something, Buy you'll never going see it happen,
And there's this burning, Like there's always been,
I've never been so alone, And I've,
I've never been so alive,

And there's this burning, There is this burning ay ay ay.
Where's the soul. I want to know, New York City is evil.
The surface is everything, but I could never do that,
Someone would see through that.
And this is the last time, We'll be friends again.
I'll get over you, you'll wonder, who I am.
And there's this burning, Just like there's always been,
I've never been so alone, alone, alive, alive, I've never been so alive, so alive

I go home to the coast. It starts to rain, I paddle out on the water alone,
Taste the salt and taste the pain. I'm not thinking of you again,
Summer dies and swells rise,
The sun goes down in my eyes,
See this rolling wave,
Darkly coming to take me home,

And I never been so alone, And I've never been so alive.

Ani Difranco--"Done Wrong"

The wind is ruthless
The trees shake angry fingers at the sky
The people hunch their shoulders
Hold their collars over their earsand run by
It's a cold rain
It's a hard rain
Like the kind that you find in songs
I guess that makes methe jerk with the heartache
Here to sing youabout how i've been done wrong

And i am sitting, watching
Out the window of the coffee shop
And i am waiting, waiting
Waiting for it to let up
I am rocking like a cradle
Warming my hands with the cup in between
I am leaning over the table
Holding my face over the steam

And before it gets so cold
That the rain turns to snow
There's just a couple things
I'd like to know

Like how could you do nothing
And say, i'm doing my best
How could you take almost everything
And then come back for the rest
How could you beg me to stay,
Reach out your hands and plead
And then pack up your eyes and run away
As soon as i agreed

It just all slips
Away so slowly
You don't even notice till you've lost a lot
I've been like one of those zombies
In vegas
Pouring quarters into a slot
And now i'm tired
And i am broke
And i feel stupid and i feel used
And i'm at the end of my little rope
And i am swinging back and forth
About you

Before it gets so cold
That the rain turns to snow
There's just a couple things
I'd like to know

Like how could you do nothing
And say, i'm doing my best
How could you take almost everything
And then come back for the rest
How could you beg me to stay,
Reach out your hands and plead
And then pack up your eyes and run away
As soon as i agreed

Used To Love Her, by Guns n Roses

I used to love her
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, mm, yeah
But I had to kill her
I had to put her six feet under
And I can still hear her complain

I used to love her, mm, yeah
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, oo, yeah
But I had to kill her
I knew I'd miss her
So I had to keep her
She's buried right in my backyard
Oh yeah
Oo yeah
Whoa, oh yeah

I used to love her
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, mm, yeah
But I had to kill her
She bitched so much
She drove me nuts
And now I'm happier this way, yeah
Whoa, oh yeah

I used to love her
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, mm, yeah
But I had to kill her
I had to put her, oo, six feet under
And I can still hear her complain

Dan that reminds me of another good one by Guns.

November Rain. I cry everytime I hear it even though i am not going through a break up.

You Are My Sunshine Words and Music by Jimmy Davis and Charles Mitchell (1940)

You make me happy when skies are grey.
You'll never know dear, how much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping,
I dreamt I held you in my arms.
When I awoke dear, I was mistaken,
So I hung my head down and cried.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy when skies are grey.
You'll never know dear, how much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

Mom used to sing this to me when I was little. Too bad her religion took the sunshine away from both of us.

Always - Bon Jovi

This romeo is bleeding But you can't see his blood It's nothing but some feelings That this old dog kicked up It's been raining since you left me Now I'm drowning in the flood You see I've always been a fighter But without you I give up Now I can't sing a love song Like the way it's meant to be Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore But baby, that's just me And I will love you, baby - Always And I'll be there forever and a day - Always I'll be there till the stars don't shine Till the heavens burst and The words don't rhyme And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind And I'll love you - Always Now your pictures that you left behind Are just memories of a different life Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry One that made you have to say goodbye What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair To touch your lips, to hold you near When you say your prayers try to understand I've made mistakes, I'm just a man When he holds you close, when he pulls you near When he says the words you've been needing to hear I'll wish I was him 'cause those words are mine To say to you till the end of time Yeah, I will love you baby - Always And I'll be there forever and a day - Always If you told me to cry for you I could If you told me to die for you I would Take a look at my face There's no price I won't pay To say these words to you Well, there ain't no luck In these loaded dice But baby if you give me just one more try We can pack up our old dreams And our old lives We'll find a place where the sun still shines And I will love you, baby - Always And I'll be there forever and a day - Always I'll be there till the stars don't shine Till the heavens burst and The words don't rhyme And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind And I'll love you - Always

title & registration - death cab for cutie:

The glove compartment is inaccurately named and everybody knows it so I'm proposing a swift, orderly change 'cause behind its door there's nothing to keep my fingers warm and all I find are souvenirs from better times before the gleam of your tail lights fading east to find yourself a better life I was searching for some legal document as the rain beat down on the hood when I stumbled upon pictures I tried to forget and that's how this idea was drilled into my head 'cause it's too important to stay the way it's been but there's no blame for how our love did slowly fade and now that it's gone, it's like it wasn't there at all and here I rest where disappointment and regret collide lying awake at night but there's no blame for how our love did slowly fade and now that it's gone just like it wasn't there at all and here I rest: where disappointment and regret collide lying awake at night; all night, when I'm lying awake at night

hmmm...i never thought of "hold on' as a break up song...isn't she talking about the man she loves dying? that's what i thought it was about anyway...

i agree that my immortal is really a masterpiece. and even years and years later,"nothing compares 2 U" by sinead o'connor (best song Prince ever wrote, if you ask me...) still makes me cry every time i hear it.
