"Tainted Love"

Once I ran to you (I ran) Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not livin'
Oh...tainted love Tainted love"

"Kayleigh"

Kayleigh, is it too late to say I'm sorry
And Kayleigh, could we get it together again
I just can't go on pretending that it came to a natural end
Kayleigh, oh I never thought I'd miss you
And Kayleigh, I thought that we'd always be friends
We said our love would last forever so how did it come to this bitter end"

Without a doubt its "Can I Change My Mind" - Roy Buchanan off the album Live Stock, truly one of the great great guitar players

I still can't listen to some songs because they make me soooo sad. Niel Young's Cortez the Killer can bring me so low that I have to hide the shoelaces on myself, lol JK. That was the song I fell in love to, there's a whole sappy story there, but I digress. This is the first time in my life that breakup music has really been aimed at me. I never realized how powerful these songs could be, I used to just see them as whiney and annoying. What's funny is I really like the petty mean songs even though there was no cheating involved in my case, and initially we split on really friendly terms. My ex is being really petty right now though, trying to pretend to want to be friends and then trying to stick the knife in and turn it whenever I'm stupid enough to fall for the bait. Hopefully I learned something from this. My ex was a nice girl, but she's holding a grudge for some reason. She was the dumper by the way, I was the dumpee so that's not the reason.

If she broke it off, I wouldn't still be talking to her. I know it sucks man, but it's like trying to hang onto something that isn't there. I've found that you really can't be good friends with someone you had a serious relationship with, because you either are still mad or hurt by whatever split you in the first place; it rarely works.

"Sooner Or Later" by The Alan Parsons Project - Really cool, in that it's somewhat of a dichotomy - The negativity of an impending breakup set to somewhat upbeat, almost toe-tapping music.

Oh what a price we pay
For the things we say
And the closer I get to you
The further you move away
All the lies we tell
In the games we play
And the longer I think it over
The harder it is to stay
Sooner or later I'll be free
To leave the past behind
Sooner or later you're gonna be
The last thing on my mind
Little by little I'm finding out
The truth behind your eyes
Maybe if I don't show
I thought you might like to know
You're gonna be the last thing on my mind
You didn't want to know
I could have told you so
But the moment I think it's over
The further there is to go
Just a little word
Such an easy way
But the longer I think about it
The harder it is to say
Sooner or later I'll be free
To leave the past behind
Sooner or later you're gonna be
The last thing on my mind
Little by little I'm finding out
The truth behind your eyes
Maybe if I don't show
I thought you might like to know
You're gonna be the last thing on my mind

WILL YOU JUST WAKE UP AND GO ON WITH LIFE!!!
Like I said, men are the emotional fools. Women can change their minds and forget about SOOOOOO quickly. Us guys will let it tear us apart.

Hey, just remember, there are more women than men on this planet!!!!!!

We can dump them and find two more.

Best break up song EVER.

lyrics

Gray chairs cold but here for me
thankfully I don't miss your skin
or the way that you always have something to say
lose myself in you
cut it in you
with my rusty fingers
what I'd do for one more day
without you
I'm leaving again on metal heart breaker
all I wanted to say was
**** you
miles away but you still seem to be here
I never took your eyes out of my bag

Download this one, you have to hear it.

Not necessarily a breakup song but nonetheless, fits the mood.
