Breakups Suck

Well being dumped really blows. Instead of sitting in your room and sulking I'm trying to offer a healthy alternative. This song list will alway be growing. I strongly suggest listening to these songs and screaming them at the top of your lungs. This won't make the pain go away completely but it will help. Trust me, I'm still doing it. Remember you are better than your ex, and it really is he or she who lost out.

I Will Survive

At first I was afraid.
I was petrified.
I kept thinking I could never live
Without you by my side.
But then I spent so many nights
Just thinking how you'd done me wrong.
I grew strong.
I learned how to get along.

And so you're back from outer space.
I just walked in to find you here
Without that look upon your face.
I should have changed my fucking lock.
I would have made you leave your key
If I'd have known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me.

Oh now go.
Walk out the door.
Just turn around now.
You're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one
Who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh not I.

I will survive.
As long as I know how to love
I know I'll be alive.
I've got all my life to live.
I've got all my love to give.
I will survive.
I will survive.

It took all the strength I had
Just not to fall apart.
I'm trying hard to mend
The pieces of my broken heart.
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself.
I used to cry.
But now I hold my head up high.

And you'll see me with somebody new.
I'm not that stupid little person
Still in love with you.
And so you thought you'd just drop by,
And you expect me to be free.
But now I'm saving all my lovin'
For someone who's lovin' me.

Oh now go.
Walk out the door.
Just turn around now.
You're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one
Who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh not I.

I will survive.
As long as I know how to love
I know I'll be alive.
I've got all my life to live.
I've got all my love to give.
I will survive.
I will survive.

FOR YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE I SUGGEST YOU LISTEN TO THIS SONG SUNG BY CAKE ON THEIR FASHION NUGGET ALBUM

Somebody Kill Me
Performed by Adam Sandler
As Sung in the Wedding Singer

[Spoken]
Ok, I just want to warn you that when I wrote this song I was listening to the Cure a lot.

[Sung]
You don't know how much I need you.
While you're around I don't feel blue.
And when we kiss I know that you need me too.
I can't believe I found a love that's so pure and true.

But it all was bullshit.
It was a goddam joke.
And when I think of you Linda,
I hope you fucking choke.

I hope you're glad with what you've done to me.
I lay in bed all day long feeling melancholy.
You left me here all alone, tears running constantly.

Oh somebody kill me please,
somebody kill me plee-ase,
I'm on my knees,
pretty pretty please kill me.

I want to die.
Put a bullet in my head.

[Spoken]
Jimmie Morris: He's losing his mind, and I'm reaping all the benefits.

Now That I Don't Have You (Jill Sobule Album self titled)

I have hope, now that I don't have you
I have faith, now that I'm alone
I'm not bashing my head against the wall
I'm not waiting forever for you call
I'm not wasting time
Now that I don't have you

Now that I don't have you
Maybe someday I'll love as others do
And fall for someone who's half as cruel
Now that I don't have you

I have dreams, now that you're not lying next to me
I can sleep, I can rest in peace
I'm not tossing adn turning on your bed of nails
I'm not burning up like I'm in hell
I can sleep
Now that I don't have you

Now that I don't have you
Maybe someday I'll love as others do
And wake up one morning to skies of blue
But I won't be with you
Now that I don't have you
Maybe someday I'll love as others do
And fall for someone who's sad but true
Now that I don't have you

"Are U Kiddin' Me"
- ANOUK -
Music & lyrics: A. Teeuwe / B. van Veen

Sure got my piece of heaven
An angel in disguise
Gone wild

But I thought you were a man
Who knew right from wrong
That's why I really don't understand
Why he's with her

It's killing me
What has she got that I don't have
Is it the way she looks at you
Laughs with you, can she
Does she make you beg for more
This is hurting
What has she got that I don't have

I tried to call him
Anytime anywhere
But he's never there

So I went to his place
And waited all day
So he would explain it to me
And this is what he said:

There is nothing left to say
I had my fill, I went away
Your crying eyes won't change a thing
It was just a fling Well how could an angel break my heart
He said: We could still be friends

Are you kidding me
What has she got that I don't have
Is it the way she looks at you
Talks to you, can she
Does she make you beg for more
This is hurting
What has she got that i don't have

But twice every year
When he's in tears
When he loses his mind
And can't help but cry
He'll call me and then

I am better than, I am


The World Has Turned and Left Me Here
Weezer

The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place, an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
I just made love with your sweet memory
One thousand times in my head
You said you loved it more than ever
You said
You remain, turned away
Turning further every day
I talked for hours to your wallet photograph
And you just listened
You left enchanted by my intellect
Or maybe you didn't
Do you believe what I sing now?


MY LOVE IS YOUR LOVE - IT'S NOT RIGHT BUT IT'S OKAY

Friday night you and your boys went out to eat
Then they hung out,but you came home around three
If six of ya'll went out then four of you were really cheap
'Cause only two of you had dinner
I found your credit card receipt

It's not right but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Pack your bags up and leave
Don't you dare come running back to me
It's not right but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Close the door behind you
Leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy

I'm packing bags so you can leave town for a week
The phone rings then you look at me (why'd you turn and look at me)
Said it was one of your friends
Down on 54th street boy
So why did 213 show up on your caller ID
I've been through all this before
So how could you think
That I would stand around and take some more
Things are gonna change
Cause I won't be a fool anymore
That's why you have to leave
So don't turn around to see my face
There's no more tears left here for you to see

Was it really worth you going out like that - tell me
See I'm moving on and I refuse to turn back
See all of this time I thought I had somebody down for Whitney
It turns out you were making a fool of me

It's not right but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Pack your bags up and leave
Don't you dare come running back to me
It's not right but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Close the door behind you
Leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy

It's not right but it's okay - [It's not right - so okay baby]
I'm gonna make it anyway [I can pay my own rent]
Pack your bags up and leave [pay my liability - take care of my babies]
Don't you dare come running back to me
It's not right but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway [get up and leave]
Close the door behind you
Leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy

It's not right but it's okay [I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright]
I'm gonna make it anyway [I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright]
Pack your bags up and leave [I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright]
Don't you dare come running back to me
It's not right but it's okay [I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright]
I'm gonna make it anyway [I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright]
Close the door behind you [I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright]
Leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy [there's no more tears left here for you to see]

It's not right but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Pack your bags up and leave
Don't you dare come running back to me
It's not right but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Close the door behind you
Leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy

It's not right but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Pack your bags up and leave
Don't you dare come running back to me
It's not right but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Close the door behind you
Leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy

Sorry (Nerf Herder Album self titled)

Sorry we broke up, sorry I missed you
Sorry I wanted only to kiss you
Sorry I promised to love you forever
made you feel guilty, oh when you left me
Sorry I showed up at your party
Sorry I drank up all the Bacardi
Sorry I puked up on your bedspread
Sorry I wanted to be your boyfriend again
(chorus) What can I do?
It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over
What can I do? I am the loser.
Sorry I saw you and I heard birds sing
Sorry I touched you and I heard bells ring
Sorry I jacked off outside of your window
while you were sleeping
I thought you'd never know
Sorry I showed up at your wedding
Sorry I tried so hard to get in
Sorry I screwed up your picture
Sorry I had sex with your sister
(chorus) What can I do?
It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over
What can I do? I am the loser.
Sorry we broke up, sorry I missed you
Sorry I wanted only to kiss you
Sorry I promised to love you forever
made you feel guilty, oh when you left me
Sorry I showed up at your dinner
Sorry I said those things to your father
Sorry I crashed through your window on acid
Sorry I made a mess, sorry I bled to death
(chorus) Repeat 2x

You Don't Own Me
(by:Lesley Gore)
(peak Billboard position # 2 in 1963)
Words and Music by John Madara and David White

You don't own me, I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me, don't say I can't go with other boys
And don't tell me what to do
And don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display, 'cause
You don't own me, don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me, don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay
Oh, I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please
A-a-a-nd don't tell me what to do
Oh-h-h-h don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display
I don't tell you what to say
Oh-h-h-h don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want

Untouchable Face (Ani Difranco Album: Dilate)

Think I'm going for a walk now
I feel a little unsteady
Don't want nobody to follow me
'cept maybe you
I could make you happy, y' 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 fuck you
And your untouchable face
And Fuck you
For existing in the first place
Who am I
That I should be vying for your touch
Who am 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 elbos with the moon
A safe haven of sleepless
Where the deep fryer's always on
And the radio is counting down
The top twenty 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
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 fuck you
And your untouchable face
And fuck you
For existing in the first place
Who am I
That I should be vying for your touch
Who am I
bet you can't even tell me that much

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
Ther's a changing constellation
Of balls as we are playing
I see orion and say nothing
The only thing I can think o saying

Is fuck you
And your untouchable face
And fuck you
for existing in the first place
Who am I
That I should be vying for your touch
Who am I
Bet you can't even tell me that much

Superhero (Ani Difranco Album: Dilate)

sleep walking through the all-nite drug store
baptized in flourescent light
i found religion in the greeting card aisle
now i know hallmark was right
and every pop song on the radio
is suddenly speaking to me
art may imitate life
but life imitates t.v.
'cuz you've been gone exactly two weeks
two weeks and three days
and let's just say that things look different now
different in so many ways

i used to be a superhero
no one could touch me
not even myself
you are like a phone booth
that i somehow stumbled into
and now look at me
i am just like everyone else

if i was dressed in my best defenses
would you agree to meet me for coffee
if i did my tricks with smoke and mirrors
would you still know which one was me
if i was naked and screaming
on your front lawn
would you turn on the light and come down
screaming, there's the asshole
who did this to me
stripped me of my power
stripped me down
i used to be a superhero
no one could hurt me
not even myself
you are like a phone booth
that i somehow stumbled into
and now look at me
i am just like everyone else

yeah you've been gone exactly two weeks
two weeks and three days
and now i'm a different person
different in so many ways
tell me what did you like about me
and don't say my strength and daring
'cuz now i think i'm at your mercy
and it's my first time for this kind of thing

i used to be a superhero
i would swoop down and save me from myself
but you are like a phone booth
that i somehow stumbled into
and now look at me
i am just like everyone else

.

YOU OUGHTA KNOW


I want you to know that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on your in a theater
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

'Cause the love that you gave that we made
wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide,
no And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, 'til you died
But you're still alive

CHORUS:
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to but you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her

'Cause the love that you gave that we made
wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide,
no And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, 'til you died
But you're sill alive

REPEAT CHORUS
'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

Special (Garbage Album title: Version 2)

I'm living without you
But I know all about you
I have run you down into the ground
Spread disease about you over town
I used to adore you
I couldn't control you
There was nothing that I wouldn't do
to keep myself around and close to you

Do you have an opinion ?
A mind of your own ?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
but I've run out of patience
I couldn't care less

I...
I...

Do you have an opinion ?
A mind of your own ?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know

I used to amuse you
But I knew that I'd lose you
Now you're here and begging for a chance
but there's no way in hell I'd take you back

Do you have an opinion ?
A mind of your own ?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
but I've run out of patience
I've run out of comments
I'm tired of the violence
I couldn't care less

I'm looking for a new...
I'm looking for a new...
I'm looking for a new...
I'm looking for a new

You were the talk of the town
You were the talk of the town
You were the talk of the town
You were the talk of the town

I thought you were special
I thought you were special
I thought you were special
I thought you were special

DON'T THINK OF ME
(by: dido Album: no angel)

So you're with her, and not with me,
I hope she's sweet, and so pretty
I hear she cooks delightfully, a little angel beside you
So you're with her, and not with me,
oh how lucky one man can be
I hear your house is smart and clean,
oh how lovely with your homecoming queen
Oh how lovely it must be
When you see her sweet smile baby, don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms, don't think of me
So you're with her, and not with me,
I know she spreads sweet honey In fact your best friend,
I heard he spent last night with her
Now how do you feel
When you see her sweet smile baby, don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms, don't think of me
And it's too late and it's too bad, don't think of me
Oh it's too late and it's too bad, don't think of me
Does it bother you now all the mess I made
Does it bother you now the clothes you told me not to wear
Does it bother you now all the angry games we played
Does it bother you now when I'm not there
When you see her sweet smile baby, don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms, don't think of me
And It's too late and it's too bad, don't think of me
Oh it's too late, oh it's too bad, don't think of me.

I Hate You
(compliments of 2 Sweet and Daffodil summer 2000 at camp Tohi)

the other night you stood me up
it was our aniversary
two months doesnt seem that long
(you) took me over completely
oh, how i loved you
oh how i needed you
but you broke my heart into two

CHORUS:
i hate you, yes i hate you
i hate you cause you suck
so fuck you, cause i hate you
cause you suck so much

i called you on the phone,
there was no answer
went to your house
and knocked on the door
call was not around,
i figured you were ow-ow-out
with that slut i saw you with,
that hootchie cootchie bitch

Chorus...

im movin on to another one
leavin you behind
so another fool to play
is what you'll have to find
oh, i dont need you,
oh i dont want you
cause i know that without you
i'll survive

chours(2x)

Shadow Boxer (Fiona Apple Album: Tidal)

Once my lover, now my friend
What a cruel thing to pretend
What a cunning way to condescend
Once my lover, and now my friend
Oh, you creep up like the clouds
And you set my soul at ease
Then you let your love abound
And you bring me to my knees

Oh, its evil, babe, the way you let your
grace enrapture me
When well you know, I'd be insance -
to ever let that dirty game recapture me

You made me a shadowboxer, baby
I wanna be ready for what you do
I been swinging all around me
'Cause I don't know when you're
gonna make your move

Oh, your gaze is dangereous
And you fill your space so sweet
If I let you get too close
You'll set your spell on me
So darlin' I just wanna say
Just in case I don't come through
I was on to every play
I just wanted you

But, oh, it's so evil, my love, the way you've
no reverence to my concern
So I'll be sure to stay weary of you, love,
to save the pain of
Once my flame and twice my burn

You made me a shadowboxer, baby
I wanna be ready for what you do
I been swinging all around me
'Cause I don't know when you're
gonna make your move

You Suck (Murmurs)

No one hurt my fragile little mind right now
Its tangled up, and don't you know
The pussycat in me is curling up right now
But I'll bloom from the inside out
But right now
There's dust on my guitar you fuck
And its all your fault
You paralysed my mind and for that
You suck
Freedom's on my list today and I am feeling pissed
But my timeless thoughts and ageless mind won't let you get away
And your guilty little conscience won't either
But right now
There's dust on my guitar you fuck
And its all your fault
You paralysed my mind and for that
You suck
We all take risks we all fall hard
But you you went too far
And I'm too plush for your pathetic digs
And you're the only one you'll scar
But right now
There's dust on my guitar you fuck
And its all your fault
You paralysed my mind and for that
You suck
And for that you suck
