~Best Ever Break Up Songs~

[Hanskies]

Well 99% of us have either been the dumper or the dumpee!
Have you ever found a song that just sums up things so, perfectly?

I have to say "The New You" by the Vandals does......

Well now you say that you like me, but you don't 'like' like me
And you say that you love me but you're not in love with me
And we should just be friends - but friends shouldn't treat other friends like that
You're not too friendly when you act like that

Every time I call the old you, the new you answers the phone
I would like to talk to old you, but the new you says you're not home

Whatever happened to that girl I knew, she was just like you
but way more into me
Lately you've been acting strange, or going through a phase
Why's it gotta be like that?
The old you dug me but the new you snubs me and asks me to go away
but I ain't going away

Every time I call the old you, the new you answers the phone
I would like to talk to old you, but the new you says you're not home

I've been so patient and I'm giving you space
I haven't called all day, you're still not coming around
You've made a big mistake, that's not a threat, no matter how it sounds
Things were going so great, but as of late you haven't had much to say
The old you loved me but the new you snubs me and asks me to go away
but I ain't going away

Every time I call the old you, the new you answers the phone
I would like to talk to old you, but the new you says you're not home

Well now you say that you like me but you dont 'like' like me
and you say that you love me but you're not in love with me
And we should just be friends, but friends shouldn't treat other friends like that
you're not too friendly when you act like that

Should I smash your f*cking head with a baseball bat
And dig around the brains and goo for something that looks like old you
Every time I call the old you, the new you answers the phone

I would like to talk to old you, but the new you says you're not home
You say that you love me, but you're not in love with me

So Beautiful by Pete Murray lol cos my ex ex boyfriend thought he was.

[Foreverpies]

For sure the Eamon "F**k it (I don't want you back)" and Frankees "F**k you right back"....have to go down as two of the best break up songs going around!!

It's music at it's best when you get both sides of the story ha

Alanis 'You oughta know', Ani Difranco's 'Untouchable Face', FM's 'Go your own way' and the best of all, 'Silver Springs'.

This is from ADF,

think i'm going for a walk now
i feel a little unsteady
i don't want nobody to follow me
'cept maybe you
i could make you happy you know
if you weren't already
i could do a lot of things
and i do

tell you the truth i prefer
the worst of you
too bad you had to have a better half
she's not really my type
but i think you two are forever
and i hate to say it but
you're perfect together

so **** you
and your untouchable face
and **** you
for existing in the first place
and who am i
that i should be vying for your touch
and who am i
i bet you can't even tell me that much

two-thirty in the morning
and my gas tank will be empty soon
neon sign on the horizon
rubbing elbows with the moon
a safe haven of sleepless
where the deep fryer's always on
radio is counting down
the top 20 country songs
and out on the porch the fly strip is
waving like a flag in the wind
y'know, i don't look forward
to seeing you again soon
you'll look like a photograph of yourself
taken from far far away
and i won't know what to do
and i won't know what to say

except **** you...

i see you and i'm so perplexed
what was i thinking
what will i think of next
where can i hide
in the back room there's a lamp
that hangs over the pool table
and when the fan is on it swings
gently side to side
there's a changing constellation
of balls as we are playing
i see orion and say nothing
the only thing i can think of saying

is **** you...

And here are some other random lines from GYOW
Loving you
Isn't the right thing to do
How can I ever change things
That I feel?

and SS

You could be my silver springs
Blue-green colors flashing
I would be your only dream
Your shining autumn ocean crashing

And don't say that she's pretty
And did you say that she loved you?
Baby, I don't wanna know

So I'll begin not to love you
Turn around, see me running
I'll say I loved you years ago
Tell myself you never loved me...no

And don't say that she's pretty
And did you say that she loved you?
Baby, I don't wanna know
Oh, no

And can you tell me, was it worth it?
Baby, I don't wanna know

Time cast a spell on you
But you won't forget me
I know I could have loved you
But you would not let me

Time cast a spell on you
But you won't forget me
I know I could have loved you
But you would not let me

(this is the good bit....)

I'll follow you down 'til the sound
Of my voice will haunt you
(Give me just a chance)
You'll never get away from the sound
Of the woman that loved you
(Was I just a fool?)

I'll follow you down 'til the sound
Of my voice will haunt you
(Give me just a chance)
You'll never get away from the sound
Of the woman that loved you

Time cast a spell on you
But you won't forget me...
