The best! Also, "Already Gone" by the Eagles, and "Free Girl Now," by Tom Petty. And I don't know the title, but the one by Tony Bennett that starts, "I want to be there to pick up the pieces ...." |

Since this is Paul Simon sans Garfunkel, it's only 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover. |

I love so many of the songs already suggested, like Adele's Someone Like You, ALL of those Ani DiFranco songs (who knew this board would have so many Ani fans?), Fleetwood Mac, etc.
Here is a great David Gray song called Shine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAIcMg8zz6k I can see it in your eyes what I know in my heart is true That our love it has faded like the summer run through So we'll walk down the shoreline one last time together Feel the wind blow our wanderin' hearts like a feather But who knows what's waiting in the wings of time Dry your eyes, we gotta go where we can shine Don't be hiding in sorrow or clinging to the past With your beauty so precious and the season so fast No matter how cold the horizon appear Or how far the first night when I held you near You gotta rise from these ashes like a bird of flame Step out of the shadow, we've gotta go where we can shine For all that we struggle, for all we pretend It don't come down to nothing except love in the end And ours is a road that is strewn with goodbyes But as it unfolds, as it all unwinds Remember your soul is the one thing you can't compromise Take my hand, we're gonna go where we can shine (And look, and look) Through the windows of midnight Moonfoam and silver I also love Dan Bern's Baby Bye Bye: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waUmHGxBAj8 Listening to the big guy's new CD laying in bed The one his producer thinks he never shoulda made But it gets me going, gets me into the shower What a shock to be awake at this early hour And you're gone, it was time to fly And all that's left is the fact we tried So thanks for the tunes, and thanks for the time You're gone now, baby bye bye Them guys from Orange County, man, do they wail? Shakes my brain and it shakes my tail New girl on top of me, will this work out? I retreat to the kitchen and sort it all out Chorus You left your keys on the table And on the bed you left a rose And a note that said, "My CD's won't fit in the car You can keep 'em I suppose" This disc was left out in the sun, it's warped and it's hissing I can't place the voice and the insert's missing I turn off the phone so if you don't call it's all right And maybe I won't listen to nothing tonight Chorus Also I am currently sort of obsessed with Kanye West's Runaway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7_jYl8A73g |

I'm the PP who listed You Made a Fool of Me. I think the lyrics are worth posting too:
I remember when you filled my heart with joy Was I blind to the truth just there to fill the space 'Cause now you have no interest in anything I have to say And I have allowed you to make me feel dumb What kind of fool am I that you so easily set me aside You made a fool of me Tell me why You say that you don't care but we made love Tell me why You made a fool of me you made a fool of me I want to kiss you Does she want you with the pain that I do I smell you in my dreams But now when we're face to face you won't look me in the eye No time no friendship no love Don't say don't touch you I can't touch you no more Can't touch you any more any more I don't touch you anymore You made a fool of me Tell me why You say that you don't care but we made love Tell me why You made a fool of me you made a fool of me Tell me why |

Took 5 pages to get to this one? Jeez. I think Alanis, Sheryl Crow, Jewel, Dido and Fiona Apple have some great ones. George Michael has several good ones, too. One that listened to after my HS breakup was Ace of Base-Don't Turn Around That JT song he wrote about BritBrit was good - Cry Me a River And for a really funny song about just getting someone the hell out of your life, I like "One More Minute" by Weird Al. Yes, Weird Al. Trust me, it's worth it. |
