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.
You could have told me when
Living died;
When passion lied."
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."
Because I watched Buffy this morning. Course, not this Buffy, but somehow, I walked out of the house singing it. And, hindsight being 20/20, I should have realized that my marriage was over when I got stuck in the 5/9 loop* on Surfacing for about a month in 2005. Damn.
So it's better this way
I've said
Having seen this place before
Where everything we've said and did
Hurts us all the more
It's just that we've stayed
Too long
In the same old sickly skin
I'm pulled down by the undertow
Never thought I could feel so low
Oh, darkness
I feel like letting go.
