What are your top five break-up songs?
Submitted by gt.
I'm with Bookmole on this one. There are so many different kinds of breakups that I'm not sure that 5 songs covers it. And I'm joining this with my lyric of the day, because it seems silly not to.
However, if I need to pick 5, the ones below come to mind. And I know they're female heavy. When I think of breakup songs,, I do think of women, mostly because I think they sing about heartbreak better than men.
These 2 I call the "5/9 loop". I know I'm in a bad place with someone when I can't listen to any songs other than these 2. I should have known my marriage was over when Mick and I were both in the "5/9 loop" at the same time. It actually took me a little over a year from that point to leave him.
"Well, it's too late then
You could have told me when
Living died;
When passion lied."
"I suppose I should be happy to be misread
Better be that
Than some of the other things I have become.
But nobody wants to hear this tale.
The plot is cliched,
The jokes are stale."
"For all the things I said to her
And all the ways I tried.
And all the things I did for her
Are lost with one goodbye."
