So I ran into this dude that basically caused mucho havoc in my life, and it started reminding me of some of my ex boyfriends. You ever hear a song that was exactly how you felt about them and you wanted to share it with the world? Well here you go... pour all your nasties into here and purge your soul of the black spot they made in your life!!!!

Starting with two of my favorites:

One More Minute by Weird Al Yankovic:
Aahh....

Well I heard that you're leavin' (leavin')
Gonna leave me far behind (so far behind)
'Cause you found a brand new lover
You decided that I'm not your kind (aahh..)

So I pulled (I pulled) your name out (name out) of my Rolodex (oohh..)
And I tore all your pictures in two
And I burned down the malt shop where we used to go
Just because it reminds me of you (dippity dippity doo)

That's right (that's right) you ain't gonna see me cryin'
I'm glad (I'm glad) that you found somebody new
'Cause I'd rather spend eternity eating shards of broken glass
Than spend one more minute with you

I guess I might seem kinda bitter
You got me feeling down in the dumps
'Cause I'm stranded all alone in the gas station of love
And I have to use the self-service pumps

Oh, so honey, let me help you with that suitcase
You ain't (you ain't) gonna break my heart in two
'Cause I'd rather get a hundred thousand paper cuts on my face
Than spend one more minute with you

I'd rather rip out my intestines with a fork
Than watch you going out with other men
I'd rather slam my fingers in a door (yah)
Again and again and again and again and again

Oh, can't you see what I'm tryin' to say, Darlin...

I'd rather have my blood sucked out by leeches (leeches)
Shove an icepick under a toenail or two
I'd rather clean all the bathrooms in Grand Central Station with my tongue
Than spend one more minute with you

Yes, I'd rather jump naked on a huge pile of thumbtacks
Or stick my nostrils together with crazy glue
I'd rather dive into a swimming pool filled with double-edged razor blades
Than spend one more minute with you

I'd rather rip my heart right out of my ribcage with my bare hands
and then throw it on the floor and stomp on it 'till I die
Than spend one more minute with you


Since You've Been Gone - Live Lyrics
Artist(Band):Weird Al Yankovic
Since you've been gone
Well, I feel like I've been chewing on tinfoil
Since you've been gone
It's like I've got a great big mouthful of cod-liver oil
Well, I'm feeling like I stuck my hand inside a blender and turned it on
You know, I've been in a buttload of pain
Since you've been gone

(Since you've been gone)
I couldn't feel any worse if you dropped a two-ton bowling ball on my toes
(Since you've been gone)
It couldn't hurt any more if you shoved a red-hot cactus up my nose

Since you've been gone
Well, it feels like I'm getting tetanus shots every day
Since you've been gone
It's like I've got an ice cream headache that won't go away
Ever since the day you left me
I've been so miserable, my dear
I feel almost as bad as I did
When you were still here

This is a song that finally gave me the resove to end a very toxic relationship.


Here I Go Again -Whitesnake

I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here I go again
Here I go again
Tho' I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on
Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
I'm just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' I'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days
Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
An' here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

This old AFI song called Rizzo in the Box is actually about lost friendship and friends who change so much that they might as well be dead to you, but I find that it gives me resolve when I think about exes.


I'm always around you to show that
I care but I don't know what for.
It seems to me that you couldn't care less so
I'm not going to do it anymore.
I see no reason why I've placed such a value on you,
but my thoughts have changed now,
I've opened my eyes and now I'm through.
Lookin' back at my short life,
the few pleasures that I've found,
all your misconceptions pummel me into the ground.
Now, I look at your small life and it doesn't mean a bit.
I pick myself up off the ground 'cause I don't give a shit.
They say all good things come to an end,
I wish this didn't apply.
You were once someone
I called my friend
but that's all now changed and I don't know why.
Things are very different now.
You've got nothing to say.
It' s sad when someone you know very well decides to fuckin' die and go away.

Hate me by Blue October
I have to block out thoughts of you so I don’t lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I’m alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you. Will you never call again?
And will you never say that you loved me just to put it in my face?
And will you never try to reach me? It is I that wanted space

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you

I’m sober now for 3 whole months it’s one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won’t touch again
In my sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
So I’ll drive so fucking far away that I never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you

And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made
And like a baby boy I never was a man
Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand
And then I fell down yelling “Make it go away!”
Just make a smile come back and shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered “How can you do this to me?”

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you
For you
For you
For you

B.I.T.C.H. penned 10-13-03 by Liz Young

I saw you the other day
you didn't even bother to say hey
you just looked at me like a cow
and now I wonder how
I fell so very hard
like a deck of cards
well now I see you were the wild card
I hadn't planned for

You Big [BIG!]
Ignorant
Thunderthighed
Cow
Hag
you Big [BIG!]
Ignorant
Thunderthighed
Cow
Hag
Stick your head in a bag
tell me you won't nag
me anymore
and I'll tell you
you're a bigger slut now
than you were before

I saw you the other day
[B]MAN- did you inflate!
and man you look sooo stoned
you wonder why you are alone
you think you've got it hard
well you left me scarred
you think you have a broken heart

You Big [BIG!]
Ignorant
Thunderthighed
Cow

you Big [BIG!]
Ignorant
Thunderthighed
Cow
Hag
Stick your head in a bag
tell me you won't nag
me anymore
and I'll tell you
you're a bigger slut now
than you were before

I saw you the other day
I think we're better off this way
you were always jealous
but wouldn't admit
your feelings didn't end at friendship
and now I hope you have it hard
I know I didn't see this in the cards
and now you're alone

You Big [BIG!]
Ignorant
Thunderthighed
Cow
Hag
you Big [BIG!]
Ignorant

Cow
Hag
Stick your head in a bag
tell me you won't nag

than you were before

You wonder why you're alone
no you don't, cause you're too stoned!

The Mike song AKA The Asshole Song (completed 9/14/03 by Liz Young... song about my emotionally abusive ex-boyfriend)
Let's spend the day together
It's better than promising a forever
I'll purge you from my system.
I'll never want you e'er again.
But it's all a lie I'd be telling myself
to try and finally get over my feelings.
I've loved you for 7 long years
I've shed way too many tears.
I want you in my arms again
I want you to never leave again
BUT YOU'RE A BASTARD
AND YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE
I KNOW YOU DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT ME
YOU JUST WANT MY SEX
YOU JUST WANT MY SEX
MY BEAUTIFUL BREASTS
YOU JUST WANNA NECK
YOU JUST WANT MY SEX
YOU JUST WANT MY SEX
MY BEAUTIFUL BREASTS
YOU JUST WANT TO NECK
You asked me if I loved you -
well, unfortunately I do.
Everytime I think I'm over you,
you have to come over you, don't you?
But it's all a lie
I'd be telling myself
if I finally believed
you'd return my feelings.
I've been craving you for 7 long years
I cried way too many tears
I should be in the arms of other men
I should be kissing other men.
BUT YOU'RE A BASTARD
AND YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE
I KNOW YOU DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT ME
YOU JUST WANT MY SEX
YOU JUST WANT MY SEX
MY BEAUTIFUL BREASTS
YOU JUST WANNA NECK
YOU JUST WANT MY SEX
YOU JUST WANT MY SEX
MY BEAUTIFUL BREASTS
YOU JUST WANT TO NECK
CUZ YOU'RE A BASTARD
AND YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE
A BEAUTIFUL ASSHOLE
A PERFECT ASSHOLE
If I could stop caring I think that I would just do that
If you'd stop staring I might think you'd want me for more than my ass
You think I'll be the solution to all you sexual needs
but honey I've got more important things to feed
than your ego
so you can go
BUT YOU'RE A BASTARD
AND YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE
I KNOW I'VE GOT TO BE OVER YOU
YOU JUST WANT MY SEX
YOU JUST WANT MY SEX
MY BEAUTIFUL BREASTS
YOU JUST WANNA NECK
YOU JUST WANT MY SEX
YOU JUST WANT MY SEX
MY BEAUTIFUL BREASTS
YOU JUST WANT TO NECK
You ask me if I love you
well unfortunately I do
everytime I think I'm over you
you have to come over don't you?

STRONGER WITHOUT YOU - 7/26/03 by Liz Young
Well it turns out that I'm stronger without you in my life
after all you did was sharpen your claws and slash my windpipe
you couldn't handle being there in any which way fashion or shape
and thinking about you makes all the hair stand up on my neck's nape
you were so jealous of everything I did
and now you say you're happy? who do you think you're kid-
ding? you said you'd by my friend for all time
Then you turned around and wouldn't spend with me any of mine.
You pulled away completely, leaving nothing behind but hypocrisy.
Trying to be what your parents want you to be unsuccessfully.
I finally realized how happy I am with my Wally.
He's not jealous and petty, wishing he was me.
He never gets jealous for me being independent and having had the strength to stand on my own two feet.
He doesn't rub in my face how much support he has parentally then complain he doesn't have enough to simply be.
Our love isn't based on jealousy.
Our love is there, solidly.
So it turns out that I'm stronger without you, but that doesn't mean I still don't care.
I guess it just means that we'll not hang out anymore or buy one another underwear.

Bob Dylan - "I Don't Believe You [She Acts Like We Never Have Met]

I can't understand,
She let go of my hand
An' left me here facing the wall.
I'd sure like t' know
Why she did go,
But I can't get close t' her at all.
Though we kissed through the wild blazing nighttime,
She said she would never forget.
But now mornin's clear,
It's like I ain't here,
She just acts like we never have met.

It's all new t' me,
Like some mystery,
It could even be like a myth.
Yet it's hard t' think on,
That she's the same one
That last night I was with.
From darkness, dreams're deserted,
Am I still dreamin' yet?
I wish she'd unlock
Her voice once an' talk,
'Stead of acting like we never have met.

If she ain't feelin' well,
Then why don't she tell
'Stead of turnin' her back t' my face?
Without any doubt,
She seems too far out
For me t' return t' her chase.
Though the night ran swirling an' whirling,
I remember her whispering yet.
But evidently she don't
An' evidently she won't,
She just acts like we never have met.

If I didn't have t' guess,
I'd gladly confess
T' anything I might've tried.
If I was with 'er too long
Or have done something wrong,
I wish she'd tell me what it is, I'll run an' hide.
Though her skirt it swayed as a guitar played,
Her mouth was watery and wet.
But now something has changed
For she ain't the same,
She just acts like we never have met.

I'm leavin' today,
I'll be on my way
Of this I can't say very much.
But if you want me to,
I can be just like you
An' pretend that we never have touched.
An' if anybody asks me, "Is it easy to forget?"
I'll say, "It's easily done,
You just pick anyone,
And pretend that you never have met!"

I Don't Believe in Love - Queensryche


She said she loved me
I guess I never knew
But do we ever, ever really know?
She said shed meet me on the other side
But I knew right then, Id never find her

I dont believe in love
I never have, I never will
I dont believe in love
Its never worth the pain that you feel

No more nightmares, Ive seen them all
From the day I was born, theyve haunted my every move
Every open hands there to push and shove
No time for love it doesnt matter
She made a difference
I guess she had a way
Of making every night seem bright as day
Now I walk in shadows, never see the light
She must have lied cause she never said goodbye

I dont believe in love
I never have, I never will
I dont believe in love
Ill just pretend she never was real
I dont believe in love' I need to forget her face, I see it still
I dont believe in love
Its never worth the pain that you feel

No chance for contact
Theres no raison d'etre
My only hope is one day Ill forget
The pain of knowing what can never be
With or without love its all the same to me

I dont believe in love
I never have, I never will
I dont believe in love
Ill just pretend she never was real
I dont believe in love
I need to forget her face, I see it still
I dont believe in love
Its never worth the pain that you feel

Here's a nice little twist on the break-up song motif. It's about a guy who wants to write a song for his girl but can only write good break up songs so he wishes she'd dump him.


Pray For Rain - The Ergs

I'm so in love with you
So I thought I'd try something new
And write a silly song about just what your smile can do
But it's just not working out
And now I'm having my doubts
It seems that broken hearted love songs are what I'm all about

So while I'm sore from the smiles that you've given to me
I just can't wait for the day when inevitably
You say I'm not the guy you thought you knew when we have “The Talk'
And you'll regrettably inform me that you're taking a walk

I'm so in love with you
But I just don't know what to do
It seems I lose my inspiration when my hearts not unglued
So now I welcome the pain
Oh yeah I'm praying for rain
To bring some dark black cloudy sadness to this warn sunny day

And I could write you the perfect song
And you could sing along
And I could write you the perfect song
About how everything's gone wrong
And you could sing along

Not the best one, but an okay one...

I Hate Everything About You by Ugly Kid Joe
I, hate the rain and sunny weather,
And i, hate the beach and mountains too;
(and) I dont like a thing about the city, no, no
And i, i, i, hate the countryside too!

Semi-chorus
And i, hate everything about you!
... everything about you!

I, dont like a thing about your mother,
And i, hate your daddys guts too,
I, dont like a thing about your sister,
cause i, i, i, think sex is overrated too.

Chorus
And i, get sick when Im around, i, cant stand to be around,
I, hate everything about you!
Everything about you,
Everything about you,
Everything about you!

Some say I got a bad attitude,
But that dont change the way I feel about you,
And if you think this thought might bring me down,
Look again cause I aint wearin no frown!

I dont really care about your sister
Forget the little bitch cause I already kissed her

One thing that I did to your lady
I put her on the bed and she didnt even say maybe
I know you know everybody knows
The way it comes, the way its gonna go
You think its sad,
And thats too bad,
cause Im havin
A ball hatin
Every little thing about you!

Everything about you, everything about...
I, get sick when Im around
I, cant stand to be around
I, hate everything about........... you! hehe

Little Miss Can't Be Wrong--Spin Doctors

Been a whole lot easier since the bitch left town
Been a whole lot happier without her face around
Nobody upstairs gonna stomp and shout,
Nobody at the back door gonna throw my laundry out
She hold the shotgun while you do-si-do
She want one man made of hercules and cyrano
Been a whole lot easier since the bitch is gone
Little miss, little miss cant be wrong

Little miss, little miss, little miss cant be wrong
Aint nobody gonna bow no more when you sound your gong.
Little miss, little miss, little miss cant be wrong
Whatcha gonna do to get into another one of these rock n roll
Songs?

Other peoples thoughts they aint your hand-me-downs
Would it be so bad to simply turn around
You cook so well, all nice and french
You do you brain surgery too, with a monkey wrench

Little miss, little miss, little miss cant be wrong...

I hope those cigarettes gonna make you cough
Hope you hear this song and it pissed you off
I take that back I hope your doing fine
And if I had a dollar I might give you ninety-nine

Little miss, little miss, little miss cant be wrong....

Cryin'
Aerosmith

There was a time
When I was so brokenhearted
Love wasn't much of a friend of mine
The tables have turned, yeah
'Cause me and them ways have parted
That kind of love was the killin' kind, so listen
All I want is someone I can't resist
I know all I need to know by the way that I got kissed
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do-down on me, yeah
Now there's not even breathin' room
Between pleasure and pain
Yeah you cry when we're makin' love
Must be one and the same
It's down on me
Yeah, I got to tell you one thing
It's been on my mind
Girl I gotta say
We're partners in crime
You got that certain something
What you give to me
Takes my breath away
Now the word out on the street
Is the devil's in your kiss
If our love goes up in flames
It's a fire I can't resist
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do to me, yeah

'Cause what you got inside
Ain't where your love should stay
Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love
'Till you give your heart away, yeah ahh
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' to let you
Do what you do what you do down to me, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby...

I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do down to, down to, down to, down to, down to... ahh
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm dyin to forget you
Your love is sweet
I was cryin' when I met you

Tango - Shakira

All he says is that she's so irresistible
But all the dammit she's not fixable
Every twenty seconds you repeat her name
But when it comes to me you don't care
If I'm alive or dead

So objection I don't wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother

Objection I'm tired of this triango
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart your hands gay
No way I've got to get away

Next to her cheap silicon I look minimal
That's why in front of your eyes I'm invisible
But you gotta know small things also count
You better put your feet on the ground
And see what it's all about so

Objection I don't wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother

Objection the angles of this triago
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands gay
No way...no no no no no

I wish there was a chance for you and me
I wish you couldn't find a place to be
Away from here

This is pathetic and sardonic
It's sadistic and psychotic
Tango is not for three
Was never meant to be

But you can try it
Rehearse it
Or train like a horse it
But don't you count on me
Don't you count on me boy

Objection I don't wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother

But you don't even bother
Objection I'm tired of this triango
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands gay
No way I've got to get away
Get away, get away, hey hey hey get away hey hey

I'm falling apart in your hands gay
No way I've got to get away
Get away, get away, hey hey hey get away hey hey

I'm falling apart in your hands gay
get away hey hey
I'm falling apart in your hands gay
get away get away



"You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morisette

I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, til you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

I Don't Care Anymore
Phil Collins
______

Well you can tell ev'ryone I'm a down disgrace
Drag my name all over the place.
I don't care anymore.
You can tell ev'rybody 'bout the state I'm in
You won't catch me crying 'cos I just can't win.
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore

I don't care what you say
I don't play the same games you play.

'Cos I've been talking to the people that you call your friends
And it seems to me there's a means to and end.
They don't care anymore.
And as for me I can sit here and bide my time
I got nothing to lose if I speak my mind.
I don't care anymore I don't care no more

I don't care what you say
We never played by the same rules anyway.

I won't be there anymore
Get out of my way
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore

Well, I don't care now what you say
'Cos ev'ry day I'm feeling fine with myself
And I don't care now what you say
Hey I'll do alright by myself
'Cos I know.

'Cos I remember all the times I tried so hard
And you laughed in my face 'cos you held all the cards.
I don't care anymore.
And I really ain't bothered what you think of me
'Cos all I want of you is just a let me be.
I don't care anymore D'you hear? I don't care no more

I don't care what you say
I never did believe you much anyway.

I won't be there no more
So get out of my way.
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don't care anymore
D'you hear? I don't care anymore
I don't care no more
You listening? I don't care no more
No more!

You know I don't care no more!

Goodbye Earl
Dixie Chicks
_____

Mary Anne and Wanda were the best of friends
All through their high school days
Both members of the 4H Club
Both active in the FFA
After graduation Mary Anne went out lookin' for a brand new world
Wanda looked all around this town and all she found was Earl
Well it wasn't two weeks after she got married that Wanda started getting abused
She put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses and make-up to cover a bruise
Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce
She let the law take it from there
But Earl walked right through that restraining order
And put her in intensive care
Right away Mary Anne flew in from Atlanta
On a red eye midnight flight
She held Wanda's hand as they worked out a plan
And it didn't take 'em long to decide that Earl had to die
Goodbye Earl
Those black-eyed peas
They tasted all right to me Earl
You're feelin' weak
Why don't you lay down and sleep Earl
Ain't it dark
Wrapped up in that tarp Earl?
The cops came by to bring Earl in
They searched the house high and low
Then they tipped their hats and said, "thank you ladies
if you hear from him let us know"
Well the weeks went by and
Spring turned to Summer
And Summer faded into Fall
And it turns out he was a missing person who nobody missed at all
So the girls bought some land and a roadside standout on Highway 109
They sell Tennessee ham and strawberry jam
and they don't lose any sleep at night 'cause Earl had to die
Goodbye Earl We need a break
Let's go out to the lake Earl
We'll pack a lunch And stuff you in the trunk Earl
Well is that all right Good
Let's go for a ride Earl hey

Don't Want You Back
Backstreet Boys
_______

Don't, don't want you back

You hit me faster than a shark attack
You saw my picture on the Backstreet's Back, alright
And you were more than just a pretty face
But how you fooled me, I'm still amazed babe
But I should have known that I would be
Another victim of your sexuality
But now we're done and over with
Don't, don't want you back

[Chorus:]
Don't want you back
Cuz you're no good for me, I know
That's all I can say
Don't want you back
Forgive my honesty but you gotta go
I don't want you back

You started going out with so-called friends
But I was blind and so I lost all common sense
But there were things that made me realize, realize
Like all the hundred no, thousand lies

[Chorus]

Baby, don't bother telling me your reasons why
Just let us sing this story 'bout you and I
Don't want you back
That's all I know (don't want you back, don't want you back)
All I can say
Don't want you back
You know you gotta go

How Do You Like Me Now?!
Toby Keith
_____

I was always the crazy one
I broke into the stadium
And I wrote your number on the 50 yard line
You were always the perfect one
And the valedictorian so
Under your number I wrote "call for a good time"

I only wanted to catch your attention
But you overlooked me somehow
Besides you had too many boyfriends to mention
And I played my guitar too loud.

How do you like me now?
How do you like me now,
Now that I'm on my way?
Do you still think I'm crazy
Stand-in here today?
I couldn't make you love me
But I always dreamed about living in your radio
How do you like me now?

When I took off to Tennessee
I heard that you made fun of me
Never imagined I'd make it this far
Then you married into money girl
Ain't it a cruel and funny world?
He took your dreams and tore them apart.

He never comes home
And you're always alone
And your kids hear you cryin' down the hall
Alarm clock starts ringin'
Who could that be singin'
Its me baby, with your wake up call!

How do you like me now?
How do you like me now,
Now that I'm on my way?
Do you still think I'm crazy
Stand-in here today?
I couldn't make you love me
But I always dreamed about living in your radio
How do you like me now?

Tell me baby...
I will preach on...

So Long by Rilo Kiley. My favorite song for about 6 years now.

Watch me fly away
Through the night sky yeah
Now that all you touched
has finally turned to gray
And roads can't hold us down
Winds will move us around
With no need to return
to this gray town
Want to bet I can tell
You've been in bed for too long
So let's just say so long
And I watched you at the cove
You read on rocks below
And I turned home
without so much as hello
Want to know where I go
I've been away for too long
And it's hard to leave
when I haven't seen
You in so long
And if we
had just held out for tomorrow
We might have seen
what seemed so far away
We didn't even bother to stay
There it goes I can tell
You're going to keep
your eyes on the ground
Waiting for someone
to finally come around
And tell you what you knew
That you weren't wrong
and it's finally time for so long

Strata - We've Changed

Did I wear you out?
Were you overwhelmed?
Were you dead all along?
Can you open up...
Just enough
To heal yourself and start again?
Well, I'm sorry...
I won't be there... I won't be there...

We've changed.
It's not the same anymore...
You drag me down.
Over and over... Over and over,
Again...

When I wrapped you up
In plastic, take you home...
I loved you more than
I'd ever loved anyone...

But it hurts too much
To think about today,
I never should have
Let you see me
Lying here this way...

We've changed.
It's not the same anymore...
You drag me down
Over and over... Over and over,
Again...

Peace can look like a riot sometimes
But I'm clean inside and starting over.
We can't hold on... we can't hold on...
We've changed.

Screaming Infidelities (this song was written in 1998, so don't call it emo)
by Chris Carraba

I'm missing your bed, I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak
And this bottle of beast is taking me home.

I'm cuddling close to blankets and sheets
You're not alone and you're not discreet.
You make sure I know who's taking you home.

I'm reading your note over again,
There's not a word that I comprehend,
Except when you signed it:
"I'll love you always and forever"

As for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs,
And sit alone and wonder, how you're making out.
And as for me I wish that I was anywhere, with anyone, making out.

I'm missing your laugh,
How did it break?
And when did your eyes
Begin to look fake?
I hope you're as happy as you're pretending

I'm cuddling close to blankets and sheets
I am alone in my defeat
I wish I knew you were safely at home

I'm missing your bed, I never sleep.
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak.
And this bottle of beast is taking me home.

Well as for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs,
And sit alone and wonder...
How you're making out.
And as for me I wish that I was anywhere, with anyone...
Making out

Your hair it's everywhere.
Screaming infidelities and taking its wear.
Your hair it's everywhere.
Screaming infidelities and taking its wear.
Your hair it's everywhere.
Screaming infidelities and taking its wear.
Your hair it's everywhere.
Screaming infidelities and taking its wear

Why would one not call that emo because it was written in 1998? Rites of Spring and Embrace were emo, and they were writing first wave emo in 1985, thirteen years before this song.



Plus, Chris Carrabba is pretty much the epitome of emo. haha.
Every band that he has been in from Further Seems Forever to Dashboard Confessional are emo bands.

obscurejude
04-08-2008, 06:03 PM
Chris, you are a bitch. :lol:

Emo is a pejorative term (apparently) and I like Dashboard. So, that is why "one" would not call it emo. Chris Carraba is not the epitome of Emo, or at least he wasn't in 1998, nor was Further Seems Forever.

Please, lets not start another emo debate. Please, Gods damnit.

Sorry - Our Lady Peace

Today's a reason for living
Today's the blood from a stone
Today's the light from a candle
Helping us to find our way home
Today we carry each other
Today the past is a freak
Today is the time for forgiveness
You were never that good to me

I'm sorry I can't lie
I wasted too much time
Drowning, I've been blind
But I've opened up my eyes
Sorry I can’t lie
So I'll just say goodbye,
goodbye, goodbye

Today is tasting the honey
Today's the strike of a match
Today's the lines in the pavement
Helping us to find our way back
Today's the crosses we carry
Today's the strength that we need
Today's the hand of an angel
You were not the kind to believe
Today we carry each other
Today we do what we should
Today is the time for forgiving
Today I wish I could

The Other Guy
The Little River Band
(Graham Goble)

I found out that you care for another guy
I found out that you want for another smile
We are alone as two different people can be
And it's hurting me so
Just to know that you don't care for me

Chorus:

The other guy won't be around to talk to our kids
He won't understand when you're down the way that I did
We had it all, you and I, we just need to try again

I found out that your heart's in another guy
You found out that you're tellin' another lie
We've gone apart and goin' our own separate ways
And you don't understand
Why I love you and want you to stay

(Chorus)

You don't know it's me that you need
You're thinking of him and I can't compete
Well I'm here to say I still want you back again

Queen - Another One Bites the Dust


Steve walks warily down the street,
With the brim pulled way down low
Aint no sound but the sound of his feet,
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, Im gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

How do you think Im going to get along,
Without you, when youre gone
You took me for everything that I had,
And kicked me out on my own

Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Chorus

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him
You can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him
When hes down
But Im ready, yes Im ready for you
Im standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating the sound of the beat

Love hurts love scars love wounds and mars
any heart not tough nor strong enough
to take a lot of pain take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud holds a lot of rain.
Love Hurts uh - uh Love Hurts.

I'm young I know but even so
I know a thing or two I've learned from you
I've really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a stove burns you when it's hot
Love Hurts Uh - Uh Love hurts.

Some fools rave of happiness blissfullness togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess, but they're not fooling me
I know it isn't true, no it isn't true
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue

Red Rubber Ball by the Cyrkle

I should have known you'd bid me farewell.
There's a lesson to be learned from this
and I've learned it very well.

Now I know you're not
the only starfish in the sea.
If I never hear your name again
it's all the same to me.

And I think it's gonna be all right.
Yeah, the worst is over now,
The morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.

You never cared for secrets I'd confide.
For you I'm just an ornament,
Something for your pride.

Always running, never caring,
That's the life you live.
Stolen minutes of your time
were all you had to give.

And I think it's gonna be all right.
Yeah, the worst is over now,
The morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.

The story's in the past with nothing to recall.
I've got my life to live and I
don't need you at all

The roller coaster ride we took is
nearly at an end.
I bought my ticket with my tears,
that's all I'm gonna spend.

And I think it's gonna be all right.
Yeah, the worst is over now,
The morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.

(Most Likely) You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine

You say you love me
And you're thinkin' of me,
But you know you could be wrong.
You say you told me
That you wanna hold me,
But you know you're not that strong.
I just can't do what I done before,
I just can't beg you any more.
I'm gonna let you pass
And I'll go last.
Then time will tell just who fell
And who's been left behind,
When you go your way and I go mine.

You say you disturb me
And you don't deserve me,
But you know sometimes you lie.
You say you're shakin'
And you're always achin',
But you know how hard you try.
Sometimes it gets so hard to care,
It can't be this way ev'rywhere.
And I'm gonna let you pass,
Yes, and I'll go last.
Then time will tell just who fell
And who's been left behind,
When you go your way and I go mine.

The judge, he holds a grudge,
He's gonna call on you.
But he's badly built
And he walks on stilts,
Watch out he don't fall on you.

You say you're sorry
For tellin' stories
That you know I believe are true.
You say ya got some
Other kinda lover
And yes, I believe you do.
You say my kisses are not like his,
But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
I'm just gonna let you pass,
Yes, and I'll go last.
Then time will tell who fell
And who's been left behind,
When you go your way and I go mine.

(Most Likely) You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine


That's a great one Jean. Bob wrote many great break-up songs. I think "If You See Her Say Hello" is another great example, as well as one I know you love, "I Don't Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met)"

--------------
If You See Her, Say Hello
Bob Dylan

If you see her, say hello, she might be in Tangier
She left here last early spring, is livin' there, I hear
Say for me that I'm all right though things get kind of slow
She might think that I've forgotten her, don't tell her it isn't so.

We had a falling-out, like lovers often will
And to think of how she left that night, it still brings me a chill
And though our separation, it pierced me to the heart
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.

If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
I always have respected her for busting out and gettin' free
Oh, whatever makes her happy, I won't stand in the way
Though the bitter taste still lingers on from the night I tried to make her stay.

I see a lot of people as I make the rounds
And I hear her name here and there as I go from town to town
And I've never gotten used to it, I've just learned to turn it off
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.

Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past
I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
If she's passin' back this way, I'm not that hard to find
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
--------

I Don't Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met)
Bob Dylan

I can't understand,
She let go of my hand
An' left me here facing the wall.
I'd sure like to know
Why she did go,
But I can't get close to her at all.
Though we kissed through the wild blazing nighttime,
She said she would never forget.
But now mornin's clear,
It's like I ain't here,
She just acts like we never have met.

It's all new to me,
Like some mystery,
It could even be like a myth.
Yet it's hard to think on,
That she's the same one
That last night I was with.
From darkness, dreams are deserted,
Am I still dreamin' yet?
I wish she'd unlock
Her voice once and talk,
Instead of acting like we never have met.

If she ain't feelin' well,
Then why don't she tell
'Stead of turnin' her back to my face?
Without any doubt,
She seems too far out
For me to return to her chase.
Though the night ran swirling an' whirling,
I remember her whispering yet.
But evidently she don't
And evidently she won't,
She just acts like we never have met.

If I didn't have to guess,
I'd gladly confess
To anything I might've tried.
If I was with her too long
Or have done something wrong,
I wish she'd tell me what it is, I'll run and hide.
Though her skirt it swayed as a guitar played,
Her mouth was watery and wet.
But now something has changed
For she ain't the same,
She just acts like we never have met.

I'm leavin' today,
I'll be on my way
Of this I can't say very much.
But if you want me to,
I can be just like you
And pretend that we never have touched.
And if anybody asks me, "Is it easy to forget?"
I'll say, "It's easily done,
You just pick anyone,

Of course there's also this one, which shows that Bob can be one bitter s.o.b. considering he wrote it about the mother of his (legitimate) children...


Idiot Wind
Bob Dylan

Someone's got it in for me, they're planting stories in the press
Whoever it is I wish they'd cut it out but when they will I can only guess.
They say I shot a man named Gray and took his wife to Italy,
She inherited a million bucks and when she died it came to me.
I can't help it if I'm lucky.

People see me all the time and they just can't remember how to act
Their minds are filled with big ideas, images and distorted facts.
Even you, yesterday you had to ask me where it was at,
I couldn't believe after all these years, you didn't know me better than that
Sweet lady.

Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your mouth,
Blowing down the backroads headin' south.
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,
You're an idiot, babe.
It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.

I ran into the fortune-teller, who said beware of lightning that might strike
I haven't known peace and quiet for so long I can't remember what it's like.
There's a lone soldier on the cross, smoke pourin' out of a boxcar door,
You didn't know it, you didn't think it could be done, in the final end he won the wars
After losin' every battle.

I woke up on the roadside, daydreamin' 'bout the way things sometimes are
Visions of your chestnut mare shoot through my head and are makin' me see stars.
You hurt the ones that I love best and cover up the truth with lies.
One day you'll be in the ditch, flies buzzin' around your eyes,
Blood on your saddle.

Idiot wind, blowing through the flowers on your tomb,
Blowing through the curtains in your room.
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,
You're an idiot, babe.
It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.

It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
You tamed the lion in my cage but it just wasn't enough to change my heart.
Now everything's a little upside down, as a matter of fact the wheels have stopped,
What's good is bad, what's bad is good, you'll find out when you reach the top
You're on the bottom.

I noticed at the ceremony, your corrupt ways had finally made you blind
I can't remember your face anymore, your mouth has changed, your eyes
don't look into mine.
The priest wore black on the seventh day and sat stone-faced while the building
burned.
I waited for you on the running boards, near the cypress trees, while the springtime
turned Slowly into autumn.

Idiot wind, blowing like a circle around my skull,
From the Grand Coulee Dam to the Capitol.
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,
You're an idiot, babe.
It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.

I can't feel you anymore, I can't even touch the books you've read
Every time I crawl past your door, I been wishin' I was somebody else instead.
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,
I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory
And all your ragin' glory.

I been double-crossed now for the very last time and now I'm finally free,
I kissed goodbye the howling beast on the borderline which separated you from me.
You'll never know the hurt I suffered nor the pain I rise above,
And I'll never know the same about you, your holiness or your kind of love,
And it makes me feel so sorry.

Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,
Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
Idiot wind, blowing through the dust upon our shelves,
We're idiots, babe.
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.

i just love this one. it's funny, at least I think so.

"Gunpowder & Lead"

County road 233, under my feet
Nothin' on this white rock but little ole me
I've got two miles till, he makes bail
And if I'm right we're headed straight for hell

[Chorus:]

I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
If he wants a fight well now he's got one
And he ain't seen me crazy yet
He slap my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Don't that sound like a real man
I'm going to show him what a little girls made of
Gunpowder and lead

It's half past ten, another six pack in
And I can feel the rumble like a cold black wind
He pulls in the drive, the gravel flies
He dont know what's waiting here this time

I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
If he wants a fight well now he's got one
And he ain't seen me crazy yet
He slap my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Don't that sound like a real man
I'm going to show him what a little girls made of
Gunpowder and lead

His fist is big but my gun's bigger
He'll find out when I pull the trigger

I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
If he wants a fight well now he's got one
And he ain't seen me crazy yet
He slap my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Don't that sound like a real man
I'm going to show him what a little girls made of
Gunpowder and lead

To Be Myself Completely
Belle and Sebastian

Well my heart has fallen down
Thought I'd talked myself around
But to be myself completely I've just got to let you down

Well I knew I'd say goodbye
Though it's not my time to cry
And forever and for no one I will let it all go by
And to be myself completely I've just got to say goodbye
Z-list star in a hundred grand garrett
The ladies say 'Hey baby, you've earned it!'
I'm not so sure,
I toured the land
You could call it work if you count the band
Still your voice calls out to me
Escort me to the harmony
I'm not sure what I will be
Find me in a bitter sweet hello

Well my heart has fallen down
Thought I'd talked myself around
Though we say goodbye and wonder
What's to know and who's to blame
But to be myself completely I will love you just the same

It may seem silly but the only time I felt something when I broke up with someone was with my ex. Usually, I don't care at all and go on as though nothing happened. Anyway, I started listening to Three Days Grace's songs more and more as I thought about him ^^

I hate everything about you
Everytime we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet

Every roommate kept awake
By every sigh and scream we make
All the feelings that I get
But I still don't miss you yet

Only when I stop to think about it

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you

Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven’t missed you yet

Only when I stop to think about it

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you

Only when I stop to think
About you, I know
Only when you stop to think
About me, do you know

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
You hate everything about me
Why do you love me

I hate
You hate
I hate
You love me

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you

Since I didn't love him anymore, it felt okay :)

Gone forever
Don't know what's going on
Don't know what went wrong
Feels like a hundred years I
Still can't believe you're gone
So I'll stay up all night
With these bloodshot eyes
While these walls surround me with the story of our life

I feel so much better
Now that you're gone forever
I tell myself that I don't miss you at all
I'm not lying, denying that I feel so much better now
That you're gone forever

Now things are coming clear
And I don't need you here
And in this world around me
I'm glad you disappeared
So I'll stay out all night
Get drunk and fucking fight
Until the morning comes I'll
Forget about our life

I feel so much better
Now that you're gone forever
I tell myself that I don't miss you at all
I'm not lying, denying that I feel so much better now
That you're gone forever

First time you screamed at me
I should have made you leave
I should have known it could be so much better
I hope you're missing me
I hope I've made you see
That I'm gone forever

And now it's coming clear
That I don't need you here
And in this world around me
I'm glad you disappeared

I feel so much better
Now that you're gone forever
I tell myself that I don't miss you at all
I'm not lying, denying that I feel so much better now
That you're gone forever
And now you're gone forever
And now you're gone forever

Alice in Chains, Stay Away

Yeah, I want to travel south this year
Aaah, woah, woah
Wont prevent safe passage here

Why you act crazy
Not an act maybe
So close a lady
Shifty eyes shady

Yeah, hey yeah, tears that soak
A callous heart

Why you act frightened
I am enlightened
Your weakness builds me
So someday youll see

I stay away

Why you act crazy
Not an act maybe
So close a lady
Shifty eyes shady

I stay away



Ok...maybe not the best but it worked for me. :)

MOODY BLUES - Your Wildest Dream lyrics
Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Reflected in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you
Think about me
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams

Once the world was new
Our bodies felt the morning dew
That greets the brand new day
We couldn't tear ourselves away
I wonder if you care
I wonder if you still remember
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams

And when the music plays
And when the words are
Touched with sorrow
When the music plays
I hear the sound
I had to follow
Once upon a time
Once beneath the stars
The universe was ours
Love was all we knew
And all I knew was you
I wonder if you know
I wonder if you think about it
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams

And when the music plays
And when the words are
Touched with sorrow
When the music plays
And when the music plays
I hear the sound
I had to follow
Once upon a time

Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Mirrored in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you
Think about me
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams

Ooooooh are we doing mad rap now? Here's another one:

If you're havin' girl problems i feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one

[Verse One]
I got the rap patrol on the gat patrol
Foes that wanna make sure my casket's closed
Rap critics they say he's "Money Cash Hoes"
I'm from the hood stupid, what type of facts are those
If you grew up with holes in ya zapatos
You'd be celebrating the minute you was havin' dough
I'm like fuck critics you can kiss my whole asshole
If you don't like my lyrics you can press fast forward
I got beef with radio if i don't play they show
They don't play my hits i don't give a shit SO
Rap mags try and use my black ass
So advertisers can give 'em more cash for ads, fuckers
I don't know what you take me as,
Or understand the intelligence that Jay-Z has
I'm from rags to ritches niggas I ain't dumb
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me

[Chorus]
99 problems but the bitch aint one
If you're havin' girl problems i feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me

[Verse Two]
The year's '94 and my trunk is raw
In my rear view mirror is the mother fuckin' law
I got two choices y'all pull over the car or (hmmm)
Bounce on the double put the pedal to the floor
Now I ain't tryin' to see no highway chase with Jay.
Plus i got a few dollars i can fight the case
So I...pull over to the side of the road
I heard "Son do you know why I'm stoppin' you for?"
Cause I'm young and I'm black and my hats real low?
Do I look like a mind reader sir, I don't know
Am I under arrest or should I guess some mo'?
"Well you was doin fifty-five in a fifty-fo' "
"Liscense and registration and step out of the car"
"Are you carryin' a weapon on you I know a lot of you are"
I ain't steppin out of shit all my paper's legit
"Well, do you mind if I look round the car a little bit?"
Well my glove compartment is locked so are the trunk in the back
And I know my rights so you gon' need a warrant for that
"Aren't you sharp as a tack, you some type of lawyer or something'?"
"Or somebody important or somethin'?"
Nah, I ain't pass the bar but i know a little bit
Enough that you won't illegally search my shit
"We'll see how smart you are when the K9 come"
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me

[Chorus]
99 Problems but a bitch ain't one
if you havin girl problems
i feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one hit me


99 Problems but a bitch ain't one
if you havin girl problems
i feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me

[Verse Three]
Now once upon a time not too long ago
A nigga like myself had to strong arm a hoe
This is not a hoe in the sense of havin a pussy
But a pussy havin no God Damn sense, try and push me
I tried to ignore him and talk to the Lord
Pray for him, cause some fools just love to perform
You know the type loud as a motor bike
But wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight
The only thing that's gonna happen is I'ma get to clappin
He and his boys gon be yappin to the captain
And there I go trapped in the kit kat again
Back through the system with the riff raff again
Fiends on the floor scratchin again
Paparatzi's with they cameras snappin them
D.A. tried to give the nigga shaft again
Half-a-mil for bail cause I'm African
All because this fool was harrasin' them
Tryin to play the boy like hes saccarin
But ain't nothin sweet 'bout how I hold my gun
I got 99 problems being a bitch ain't one.
Hit me

[Chorus X3]

You're crazy for this one Rick
It's your boy

Nine Inch Nails, Something I Can Never Have

I still recall the taste of your tears
echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears
my favorite dreams of you still wash ashore
scraping through my head til i don't wanna sleep anymore

you make it all go away
you make it all go away
i'm down to just one thing
and i'm starting to scare myself
you make it all go away
you make it all go away
i just want something
i just want something i can never have

you always were the one to show me how
back then i couldn't do the things that i can do now
this thing is slowly taking me apart
gray would be the color if i had a heart

[CHORUS]

in this place it seems like such a shame
though it all looks different now, i know it's still the same
everywhere i look, you're all i see
just a fading fucking reminder of who i used to be
come on and tell me!

It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
Bob Dylan
____

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
This sky, too, is folding under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home
Your empty handed armies, are all going home
Your lover who just walked out the door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
Strike another match, go start a new
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

Oh, baby, you know, I've really got to leave you
Oh I can hear it callin 'me

But I got to go away from this place,
I've got to quit you, yeah
Baby, ooh don't you hear it callin' me?
Woman, woman, I know, I know
It feels good to have you back again
And I know that one day baby, it's really gonna grow, yes it is.
We gonna go walkin' through the park every day.
Come what may, every day

It was really, really good.
You made me happy every single day.
But now... I've got to go away!

"The Engine Driver" - The Decemberists

I'm an engine driver
On a long run, on a long run
Would I were beside her
She's a long one, such a long one

And if you don't love me, let me go
And if you don't love me, let me go

I'm a county lineman
On a high line, on a high line
So will be my grandson
There are powerlines in our bloodlines

And if you don't love me, let me go
And if you don't love me, let me go

And I am a writer, writer of fictions
I am the heart that you call home
And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
My bones
My bones

I'm a moneylender
I have fortunes upon fortunes
Take my hand for tender
I am tortured, ever tortured

And if you don't love me, let me go
And if you don't love me, let me go

And I am a writer, writer of fictions
I am the heart that you call home
And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
I am a writer, I am all that you have home
Home
And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
My bones

my ex girlfriend was a big fan of sum41 and i associate this song with her

Moron

It's hard enough to even fake a smile
Disillusion - I'm in denial
There's something missing
'Cause I can't feel a thing
I'm desensitized!

You can fake this and
I can't take anymore
I'm numb, so dumb
I can't ignore..

You can fake this and
I can't take anymore
I'm numb, so dumb
I can't ignore.. anymore!

All this confusion is running
deep inside my head.
How long can I keep this up
Before I end up dead!?

I can't believe that it could come to this
It's only feelings though I can't resist
I'm falling deeper in denial but I still try to
Believe in something

You can fake this and
I can't take anymore
I'm numb, so dumb
I can't ignore..

You can fake this and
I can't take anymore
I'm numb, so dumb
I can't ignore.. anymore!

Anymore!
Anymore!
Anymore!

Sonata Arctica - Shamandalie

In good old times, remember my friend
Moon was so bright and so close to us, sometimes

We were still blind and deaf, what a bliss?
Painting the world of our own, for our own eyes, now?


"Can we ever have what we had then?
Friendship unbreakable
Love means nothing to me
Without blinking an eye
I'd fade, if so needed,
All those moments with you
If I had you beside me"

One cloudy day we both lost the game?
We drifted so far and away

Nothing is quite as cruel as a child
Sometimes we break the unbreakable, sometimes?


"And we'll never have what we had then
Friendship unbroken
Love means nothing to me
Without blinking an eye
I'd fade, if so needed,
All those moments with you
If I had you beside me now"

I was unable to cope with what you said
Sometimes we need to be cruel to be kind
Child that I was, could not see the reason
Feelings I had were but sham and a lie?

I have never forgotten your smile
Your eyes, oh, Shamandalie

Time went by, many memories died
I'm writing this down to ease my pain

You saw us always clearer than me
How we were never meant to be
Love denied meant the friendship would die
Now I have seen the light
These memories make me cry


"Can I ever have what I had then?
Friendship unbroken
Love means nothing to me
Without blinking an eye
I'd fade, if so needed,
All those moments with you
See the world with my wide open eyes


Friendship got broken
There's no other for me
Like the one of my childhood days
Can you forgive me?
Love got better off me,
On that one day back in old times

yup, almost the way it was :rock:

"Gives you Hell" by the All-American Rejects

My favorite lines are these:
"Truth be told I miss you /
And truth be told I'M LYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


"You don't Know" aka "Fuck off Song" by Reel Big Fish (the whole song's too great not to share)

Well, first of all, I'd like to say fuck off. (Fuck off.) Fuck off. (Fuck
off!!) If you don't get it, why dont you go shove your head back up your ass
and dont waste my time. I dont need your opinion. No. (Oh my god.)

Cause you dont know what it's like
You dont know what it's like
You dont know what it's like to be like me.
You dont know so keep your muouth shut.

Well this may come as kind of a surprise (Surprise.) Surprise. (Surprise!!)
I dont like you, and I dont care what you think about what I do. And most of
all, I dont need your opinion No. (Oh my god.)

You dont know what it's like
You dont know what it's like
You dont know what it's like to be like me.
You dont know so keep your mouth shut.

Well finally, thats the way it is. I like something you dont and you're
telling me it's shit. But it's a waste of time. We cant change our opinions.
(We dont wanna be.) (You know what else? Ah ha ha!)

I dont know what it's like.
I dont know what it's like.
I dont know what it's like to be like you.
I dont know so I keep my mouth . . .

dear god, ani difranco got me through my first bad break up.
the albums "dilate" and "little plastic castle"

"untouchable face" by Ani DiFranco

think i'm going for a walk now
i feel a little unsteady
don't want nobody to follow me
'cept maybe you
i could make you happy, y' know
if you weren't already
i could do a lot of things
and i do

tell you the truth i prefer
the worst of you
too bad you had to have a better half
she's not really my type
but i think you two are forever
and i hate to say it
but you're perfect together

so fuck you
and your untouchable face
and fuck you
for existing in the first place
who am i
that i should be vying for your touch
who am i
bet you can't even tell me that much

two-thirty in the morning
and my gas tank will be empty soon
neon sign on the horizon
rubbing elbows with the moon
a safe haven of sleepless
where the deep fryer's always on
and the radio is counting down
the top twenty country songs
and out on the porch the fly strip
is waving like a flag in the wind
y'know, i don't look forward
to seeing you again
you'll look like a photograph of yourself
taken from far far away
and i won't know what to do
and i won't know what to say

except fuck you
and your untouchable face
and fuck you
for existing in the first place
who am i
that i should be vying for your touch
who am i
bet you can't even tell me that much

i see you and i'm so perplexed
what was i thinking
what will i think of next
where can i hide
in the back room there's a lamp
that hangs over the pool table
and when the fan is on it swings
gently side to side
there's a changing constellation
of balls as we are playing
i see orion and say nothing
the only thing i can think of saying

is fuck you
and your untouchable face
and fuck you
for existing in the first place
who am i
that i should be vying for your touch
who am i
bet you can't even tell me that much
-----------------------------------------

"done wrong" by Ani DiFranco

the wind is ruthless
the trees shake angry fingers at the sky
the people hunch their shoulders
hold their collars over their ears and run by
it's a cold rain
it's a hard rain
like the kind you find in songs
i guess that makes me the jerk with the heartache
here to sing to you about how i been done wrong

i am sitting, watching
out the window of the coffee shop
and i'm 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

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

Soundtrack for my worst breakup ever:anything by the Smiths and Sea Change by Beck.

"Already Dead" - Beck

Love looks away
In the harsh light of the day
On the edge of nothing more
Days fade to black
In the light of what they lack
Nothing's measured by what it needs

Already dead to me now
'Coz it feels like I'm watching something die

"End of the Day"

I've seen the end of the day come too soon
Not a lot to say, not a lot to do
You played the game, you owe nothing to yourself
Rest a day, for tomorrow you can't tell
You can't tell

I've seen the end of the day come too late
Seen the love you had turning into hate
Had to act like I didn't even care
But I did so I got stranded standing there
Standing there

It's nothing that I haven't seen before
But it still kills me like it did before
No it's nothing that I haven't seen before
But it still kills me like it did before

I've seen the end of the day come too soon
Like the prison dogs they set out after you
You owe nothing to the past but wasted time
To serve a sentence that was only in your mind
In your mind


...the orchestration and production on this album is just bittersweet enough. Breakup gold. (As long as you don't follow your breakup by marrying a Scientologist, that is! ;) )

this song got me through a horrible break up.

My Black Dahlia by Hollywood Undead

I loved you you made me hate me
You gave me hate see it saved me and these tears are deadly
You feel that? i rip back every time you tried to steal that
You feel bad? you feel sad? i'm sorry hell no fuck that

It was my heart it was my life it was my start it was your knife
This strife it dies this life and these lies
And these lungs have sung this song for too long
And it's true i hurt too remember i loved you

And i've lost it all fell today it's all the same
I'm sorry oh i'm sorry i'm sorry no no
I've been abused i feel so used because of you
I'm sorry oh i'm sorry i'm sorry no no

I wish i could i could have quit you i wish i never missed you
And told you that i loved you every time i fucked you
The future that we both drew and all the shit we've been through
Obsessed with the thought of you the pain just grew and grew

How could you do this to me? look at what i made for you
It never was enough and the world is what i gave to you
I used to be love struck now i'm just fucked up
Pull up my sleeves and see the pattern of my cuts

And i've lost it all fell today it's all the same
I'm sorry oh i'm sorry i'm sorry no no
And i've been abused i feel so used because of you
I'm sorry oh i'm sorry i'm sorry no no

Seems like all we had is over now you left to rest
And your tears are dried up now you just lay without a sound
Seems like all we had is over now you left to rest
And my fears are over now i can leave with my head down

And i've lost it all fell today it's all the same
I'm sorry oh i'm sorry i'm sorry no no
And i've been abused i feel so used because of you
I'm sorry oh i'm sorry i'm sorry no no

I'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry
I'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry
I'm sorry no

This is one of my favorite break up songs. It also has some nice screamy parts that are pretty cathartic, especially the lines "I think I would rather remember how it was and go our separate ways. I don't feel anything unless we are living and dying for each other every second of our lives."
Scream It Until You're Coughing Up Blood by Against Me!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg4gR8jdxos
Everything
You got to hold on to
Everything
You relied on to be there is completely fucked
There's a skeleton of loyalty hanging in the gallows of your heart
[no one wins this one]
And where are your friends?
Please help me through these years ahead.
Are we just drinking buddies
Playing with each other's dearest vulnerability?
That this is all we know?
So this is how it's gonna stay?
I think I
Would rather
Remember how it was and go our separate ways.
I don't feel anything
Unless we are living and dying for each other
Every second of our lives.

Everything
You thought that it would be,
Everything
You thought you were living for is comepletely fucked.
This is no place to be.
If we don't get out of here right now,
We're just gonna end up drunk, fucking,
and fighting and working machines.
If I have another cigarette,
If I drink another beer,
Sit quiet another time when I should've said
"Oh, this is too much.
There are things I never wanted to be."
This ship has sprung a leak
And I'll be damned if I'm going down with it.
Still breathing at any cost.

Here's another good one by the same band, but not as screamy:
We're Breaking Up by Against Me!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7Yps7bxaTI

This is the only voice I know
These are the only words I have
This is the only way I know how to say
We're not in love anymore

And it's the same way
That it's always been
The dynamic to the relationship never changes
And it's the same way
That it's always been
The dynamic to the relationship never changes

We used to like all the same bands
We used to have all the same friends
What do we have left in common
Just shared memories of good times
Long since passed
Long since passed

And it's the same way
That it's always been
The dynamic to the relationship never changes
And it's the same way
That it's always been
The dynamic to the relationship never changes

You can't get what you want from me
And I can't get what I need from you
This is the only voice I know
These are the only words I have
This is the only I can say
We're breaking up

And it's the same way
That it's always been
The same way
That it's always been
I'm not giving up on us
I'm not giving up on us


Some others, without lyrics, since the post is getting big, but the lyrics should be easy enough to find:

Bush - The Chemicals Between Us


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iIHr5P9Y-c
I want you to remember
A love so full it could send us all ways
I want you to surrender
All my feelings rose today
And I want you to remain
The power of children can amaze
I'll try not to complain
I know that's a pisser baby

The chemicals between us
The walls that lie between us
Lying in this bed
The chemicals displaced
There is no lonelier state
Than lying in this bed

I want you to remember
Everything you said
Every driven word
Like a hammer, hell, to my head

The chemicals between us
The walls that lie between us
Lying in this bed
The chemicals displaced
There is no lonely face
Than lying in this bed

The chemicals between us
The chemicals between us
Lying in this bed

We're of the hollow men
We are the naked ones
We never meant you harm
Never meant you wrong
I'd like to thank
All of my lovers, lovers, lovers

The chemicals between us
The army of achievers
Lying in this bed
The chemicals displaced
There is no lonelier state
Than lying in this bed

The chemicals between us
The chemicals between us
The chemicals

Foo Fighters – I Should Have Known

I should have known that it would end this way
I should have known there was no other way
Didn’t hear your warning
Damn my heart gone there

I should have known
Look at the shape you’re in
I should have known
But I don’t write in
One thing is for certain
As I’m standing here
I should have known

Lay your hands in mine
Heal me one last time
Though I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt

I should have known
There was that side of you
I should have known
What was inside of you
Came without a warning
Caught me unaware
I should have known
I’ve been here before
I should have known
Don’t want it anymore
One thing is for certain
I’m still standing here
I should have known

Lay your hands in mine
Heal me one last time
Though I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt

No I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt
I should have known

Maybe you was right
Didn’t want a fight
I should have known
Couldn’t see the signs
Couldn’t run a lie
I should have known

Though I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt
Though I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt
No I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt
I should have known.

Besides, you're saying if I wanted to go and make out with my husband's friends just to piss him off, that that would be slutty? Not that I would because they're gross, and I love someone but I could imagine wanting to try to hurt him the way he's hurt me.

This is the twangy version. JB originally recorded the song with his band "The Little White Pills," and it was much heavier...closer to punk.

Baby Jane - Rod Stewart



Baby Jane don't leave me hanging on the line
I knew you when you had no one to talk to
Now you're moving in high society
don't forget I know secrets about you
I used to think you were on my side
but now I'm no longer sure
I wish I knew what I know now before

When I give my heart again
I know it's gonna last forever
No one tell me where or when
I know it's gonna last forever

Baby Jane don't it make you feel sad
just when I thought that we were winning
You and I were so close in every way
don't time fly when you're loving and laughing
I've said goodbye so many times
the situation ain't all that new
Optimism's my best defense
I'll get through without you

When I give my heart again
I know it's gonna last forever
No one tell me where or when
I know it's gonna last forever
I won't be that dumb again
I know it's gotta last forever
When I fall in love again
I know it's gonna last forever

Baby Jane I've said all I want to say
go your own way don't think twice about me
Cause I've got ideas and plans of my own
so long darlin' I'll miss you believe me
The lesson learned was so hard to swallow
but I know that I'll survive
I'm gonna take a good look at myself and cry

When I give my heart again
I know it's gonna last forever
No one tell me where or when
I know it's gonna last forever
When I fall in love next time
I know it's gonna last forever
I won't be that dumb again
I know it'll last forever

JT's "Cry Me a River" is much better and also a very good break-up song (as well as a guilty pleasure song of mine)

But what I came in here to post was "Another Brick in the Wall". Please take min to think (or listen to) about the song and tell me it does not fit the category in some respects. If you know the story of the album then you'd def know that a break up is def apt to be part of Pink's Wall. Or I'm just fucking drunk, probably a little of both but if you disagree tell me why and I promise to defend it sober.

The Stone Roses - I am the resurrection :))

Down down, you bring me down
I hear you knocking down my door and I can't sleep at night
Your face, it has no place
No room for you inside my house I need to be alone

Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you
I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do

Turn turn, I wish you'd learn
There's a time and place for everything I've got to get it through
Cut loose, cause you're no use
I couldn't stand another second in your company

Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you
I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do

Stone me, why can't you see
You're a no-one nowhere washed up baby who'd look better dead

Your tongue is far too long
I don't like the way it sucks and slurps upon my every word

Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you
I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do

I am the resurrection and I am the light
I couldn't ever bring myself to hate you as I'd like

Like I said, last one (almost) and I'm out. After 33 years of marriage, if you don't understand this well, than you were doomed from the start. They're crazy, they're "ill-logical, but they are the best things to ever happen to us, right?

Not going to lie. I was feeling You Don't Own Me a little bit. Just a little bit though.

Hmmmmmmmmmm... I've been pondering. Is Meatloaf's Song: "I would do anything for love but I won't do that," a love song or a break up song, or both?

I have always wondered, what exactly is it, that he won't do? Take a vibrator up the butt? What?

I saw a pair of panties like that. On the front they said, "I would do anything for love" then on the back they said, "but I won't do that". LOL!

Each verse mentions two things that he would do for love, followed by one thing that he will not do. The title phrase repetition reasserts that he "won't do that". Each mention of "that" is a reference to the particular promise that he made earlier in the same verse. In addition, at the song's conclusion, the female vocalist predicts two other things that he will do: "You'll see that it's time to move on" and "You'll be screwing around". To both of these, he emphatically responds, "I won't do that!"

Still.. doesn't answer the question whether it's a break up song or a love song. It sounds like she's breaking up with him.

I don't think they're quite broken up yet, from the sound of it.. but they're going to get there.
