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.

Sarah McLachlan - Do What You Have To Do (Mirroball Live)

Sarah McLachlan - Full of Grace

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.

Stronger Than Me - Melissa Etheridge

"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."

She wants revenge - she loves me, she loves me not

"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."

What song or lyrics are stuck in your head at the moment?  What album is it from?

There comes a time when you swim or sink
So I jumped in the drink
Cause I couldn't make myself clear
Maybe I wrote in invisible ink
Oh, I've tried to think
How I could have made it appear

But another illustration is wasted cause the results are the same
I feel like a ghost who's trying to move your hands over some ouija board in the hopes
I can spelll out my name

What some take for magic at first glance
Is just slight of hand
Depending on what you believe

Something gets lost when you translate
It's hard to keep straight
Perspective is everything

And I know now
Which is which and what angle I ought to look at it from
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 cliche, the jokes are stale
And baby, we've all heard it all before
Oh I could get specific but
Nobody needs a catalog
With details of love, I can't sell anymore

And aside from that
This chain of reaction
Baby is losing her link
Though I hope you'd know what I tried to tell you and if you don't
I could draw you a picture
In invisible ink

But nobody wants to hear this tale
The plot is cliche, the jokes are stale
And baby, we've all heard it all before
Oh I could get specific but
Nobody needs a catalog
With details of love, I can't sell anymore
