Shawna Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 the best angry break-up song on the face of the earth is Roger Clyne's "Girly." Works for us girls, too. Girly Well I'm going to the hardware store I’m going to buy you a really big hammer Girly won't you pull these nails out of my heart Then I'm going to the sporting goods store I’m going to buy you a really heavy baseball bat Girly won't you knock these thoughts out of my head Beat me till I'm black and blue And I'm hanging by a thread Then I can get back up And we can do it all over again Well I'm going to a liquor store I’m going to buy you a really big bottle Girly won't you pour some light into my life Then I'm going to the firearms store I’m going to buy you a really pretty handgun Girly won't you blow this mess out of my mind Beat me till I'm black and blue And I'm very nearly dead Then I can get back up And we can do it all over again Well, all over again (Repeat) Third verse same as the first I'm going to the hardware store I’m going to buy you a really big hammer Girly won't you pull these nails out of my heart Then I'm going to the sporting goods store I’m going to buy you the biggest baseball bat they got on the rack and deliver it right to your door with a big red ribbon around it and you know what to do with it, right? Beat me till I'm black and blue And my body's bloody red And I can get back up And we can do it all over again Well, all over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 there's a great part of "You'll Think Of Me" by Keith Urban that says it all for me so perfectly... Someday I'm gonna run across your mind Don't worry, I'll be fine I'm gonna be alright While you're sleeping with your pride Wishing I could hold you tight I'll be over you And on with my life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Laurie_ Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 HOW MUCH I FEEL Ambrosia (David Pack) I don't know how this whole business started Of you thinking that I have been untrue But if you think that we'd be better parted It's gonna hurt me but I'd break away from you Well just give me the sign and I will be gone That's how much I feel for you baby How much well I need your touch How much I live I live for your loving That's how much that's how much that's how much Sleep alone and late at night I am dreaming Of the togetherness that seems to leaving me oh no It ain't long then I kiss some more If you'll only love me like you have before Ahh take hold of my hand I will be forgiven That's how much I feel feel for you baby How much I need your touch How much I live for your loving That's how much that's how much that's how much So you try to stay in the middle And then cry - cry just a little Then we both realize how foolish you been I've been trying to make amends But your pulling all the strings 'Cause that's how much - that's how much That's how much How's your life been going on I got a wife now years we been going strong Oh no there's just something I got to say Sometimes when we make love I still see your face Just try to recall when we were as one yeah That's how much I feel for you baby How much I need I need your touch How much I live I live for your loving I love this song!

Sweet Jane 61 Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Ok this is a country song but it gets me all the time. What Might Have Been ~ Little Texas Sure I think about you now and then But it's been a long long time I've got a good life now I've moved on So when you cross my mind I try not to think about What might have been 'Cause that was then And we have taken different roads We can't go back again There's no use giving in And there's no way to know What might have been We could sit and talk about this all night long And wonder why we didn't last Yes they might be the best days We will ever know But we'll have to leave them in the past So try not to think about What might have been 'Cause that was then And we have taken different roads We can't go back again There's no use giving in And there's no way to know What might have been That same old look in your eyes It's a beautiful night I'm so tempted to stay But too much time has gone by We should just say goodbye And turn and walk away And try not to think about What might have been 'Cause that was then And we have taken different roads We can't go back again There's no use giving in And there's no way to know What might have been No we'll never know What might have been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanAm Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 I don't know if this is really in keeping with this topic, but I think this is a pretty good "breakup" song. YOU'RE THE HANGNAIL IN MY LIFE Hoyt Axton You're the dead corsage that's in my frigidaire You're the flaky specks of dandruff in my hair You're the tickle in my throat that makes me cough You're the hangnail in my life And I can't bite you off You're the soap suds and pollution in my stream When I'm sleeping you're the nightmare in my dream You're the fattening foods that sometimes give me gout You're just like my ingrown toe nail Cause I can't cut you out You're the sun that gives me sunburn You're the cinder in my eye Your voice can make my stomach turn You're the rain cloud in my sky -Instrumental Break- You're the dirty ring around my clean bath tub You're the razor blade that always leaves the nubs You're the broken handle on my coffee cup You're a tire that just went flat And I can't pump you up You're the sun that gives me sunburn You're the cinder in my eye Your voice can make my stomach turn You're the rain cloud in my sky You're the cycle seat that made me saddle sore You're the piece of chalk that scrapes across the board You're the tickle in my throat that makes me cough You're the hangnail in my life And I can't bite you off Whoa, you're the hangnail in my life But I can't bite you off ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvish Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Good bump Live With Lonesome ~ Little Big Town Hear the train in the distance Such a lonely sound it makes When its gone there is silence you can hear the sound of my heart break See these arms, now they're empty Because they used to hold onto you I said I'd never let go But somehow you slipped on through Chorus: Now I know that's how love goes, When love goes away I'm gonna cry some, Then I'm gonna lay here and die some All because I know there ain't noone else baby, if I can't live with you, guess I'll have to, Live with lonesome. There's a prayer that I'm praying there's a dream that I always will dream and the hope keeps me waiting for the day you come back to me It's a curse and a blessing to find love above all the rest now I'd rather have nothing than to settle for less (chorus x 2) Live with lonesome.
