Best Breakup Songs

The Script - Breakeven

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven

Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven, even, no

What am I suppose to do
When the best part of me was always you and
What am I suppose to say
When I'm all choked up and you're okay

I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces

They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven, even, no

You got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame
Now I'm tryna make sense of what little remains, oh
'Cause you left me with no love and no love to my name

No Doubt - Don't Speak

Mariah Carey's "Someday" got me through the worst high school break-up EVAH!

[Anonymous]

And also, forgot to add the more recent one, "Back to Black" by Amy Winehouse. Serious angst going on there!

"Somebody That I Used to Know" by Gotye is awesome.

Wow, some of these, really? "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Joy Division. There is no substitute.

From the other side of the breakup, there's nothing better than Motley Crue, "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)."

Oh, yes. We could be friends.

Are You Lonesome Tonight
Elvis Presley

Are you lonesome tonight,
Do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart?
Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?
Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?
Is your heart filled with pain,
Shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
You know someone said that the world's a stage
And you must play a part.
Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart.
Act one was when I met you,
I loved you at first glance
You read your line so cleverly
And never missed a cue
Then came act two,
You seemed to change and you acted strange
And why I'll never know.
Honey, you're lying when you said you loved me
And I had no cause to doubt you.
But I'd rather go on hearing your lies
Than go on living without you.
Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there

With emptiness all around
And if you won't come back to me
Then make them bring the curtain down.

Is your heart filled with pain,
Shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
