Break-up Songs

[Jaaarsh]

I'll preface this by saying I've never created a thread before, so if this is in the wrong place, I apologize, sincerely.

Nothing quite evokes memories for me like music does. That being said, I'm curious what you everyone's go-to break-up songs are.

I'm looking for 3 awesome break-up songs, be they sappy, angry, loving, depressing and full of regret or empowering and resolute. Maybe they just remind you of someone, or it was "your" song.

What are your break-up songs?

I suppose it's only fair if I start it off.

Tiny Dancer - Elton John
Back On Your Side - Chris Isaak
Two - Ryan Adams

Tiny Dancer is a break-up song? Damn, I better check out the lyrics!

My pick for break-up song is You Oughta Know by Alanis Morrisette.

It's not about the lyrics, it was just "our" song.

Ahh, gotcha!

[Jaaarsh]

I'm Still Standing - Elton John

Elton's got a little bit for everyone. And don't worry about your math, I only said 3 because I felt it was anymore would be asking too much of everyone.

 

[Jaaarsh]

I always like listening to Song for the Dumped by Ben Folds Five.

I never got my black tee shirt back!

[Hypoxia]

You Done Walked On My Heart And You Stomped That Sucker Flat

Yes, you walked on my heart
You tore it all apart
Darlin', you just sorta
Tromped on my aorta
I heard that squishing underfoot, I knew we'd drift apart
And every step you took was a stomp upon my hear.
