Break-Up Songs

We all know 'em n' love 'em...

2 songs at a time, please!

I'll kick it off with this one...

I could only think of one at the moment, but i'm sure there are a few obvious ones i'm forgetting, i'll just post this one and come back later.



My beds become so lonely
No arms or sheets to hold me
Has this world stopped turning?
I'll wait forever to be apart, forever to be apart

The daddy of all breakup songs.

Weird Al - "One More Minute"



I'd rather spend eternity eating shards of broken glass
than spend one more minute with you.

Country music never fails.

and I really love this song, even ... if this is the only version I can find and Russell Mael f***ed it up royally.

Sparks - "Tearing the Place Apart"



It's so easy
Tearing the place apart
I'm getting rid of every memory
I don't know where to start
So many memories all around me
Now that you've gone to someone else
Give me a reason I should keep, our world that is acres deep,
in which you touched, in which you saw, in which you were
It's so easy

Tearing the place apart
each square of vinyl that you stepped on
Pulled up and thrown away
And burned with linen that we slept on
All my collections out they go
stamps of all nations where we'd been
and we had been everywhere
They're ripped in two
They're ripped in four
They're in the wind
It's so easy

the walls that enclosed us they're crumbling, they're tumbling,
I'm stumbling, I'm crumbling
Tearing the place apart
Tearing the place apart

Down come the chandeliers
That lit our cozy little dinners
Shattered for ever more - one thing is certain -
I'll grow thinner
No need to eat with company
No need to eat at all I guess
Away go the cabinets, so fully stocked
From soup to nuts to aubergine....

the walls they enclosed us they're crumbling, they're tumbling,
I'm stumbling, I'm crumbling
Tearing the place apart
Tearing the place apart

Tearing the place apart
I'll rip the doors off with the hinges
Who needs a door at all

the world can walk in and I'll let them
Help yourself to a magazine
Help yourself to anything
Go and take anything
They're only things
They're only things
They're only things

It's so easy...

This is the most heart breaking of all, especially since it was true.

ABBA - The Winner Takes It All
I don't wanna talk
About the things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play

The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny

I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules

The Gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear

The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain
But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed

The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
I don't wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all

Another Stones tune...




Bob Dylan - It Ain't Me Babe

I couldn't find Dylan's version on you tube, due to copyright BS...

So, here's Joaquin Phoenix & Reese Witherspoon's version from ''Walk The Line''....

Does this song count?

I find this song funny and annoying at the same time...a song where if she breaks up with the dude...
