Answer 2

The absolute all-time best: "One More Minute" by Weird Al Yankovic.

So you say that you're leavin',
Gonna leave me far behind;
Say you've found a brand-new lover,
You've decided that I'm not your kind.

So I pulled your name out of my Rolodex
And I tore all your pictures in two,
And I burned down the malt shop where we used to go,
Just because it reminds me of you!

That's right--you ain't gonna see me crying;
I'm glad that you found somebody new,
'Cause I'd rather spend eternity eating shards of broken glass
Than spend
One more minute
With you.

I'd rather rip out my intestines with a fork
Than watch you going out with other men;
And I'd rather slam my fingers in a door,
Again and again and again and again and again!

...It goes on like that for several verses. It's simply wonderful, because it's EXACTLY the way you feel when you've been dumped. And it's funny as hell... and laughter really IS the best medicine.

Answer 3

It's All Over Now Baby Blue - Bob Dylan

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last.
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast.
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun,
Crying like a fire in the sun.
Look out the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.
Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets.
This sky, too, is folding under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home.
All your reindeer armies, are all going home.
The lover who just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor.
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Strike another match, go start anew
And it's all over now, Baby Blue

Answer 5

Break up:

Time for Me to Fly Lyrics: by REO Speedwagon

I’ve been around for you
I’ve been up and down for you
But I just can’t get any relief
I’ve swallowed my pride for you
I’ve lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief

You got me stealin’ your love away
’cause you never give it
Peeling the years away
And we can’t relive it
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it’s time for me to fly

You said we’d work it out
You said that you had no doubt
That deep down we were really in love
Oh, but I’m tired of holding on
To a feeling I know is gone
I do believe that I’ve had enough

I’ve had enough of the falseness
Of a worn out relation
Enough of the jealousy
And the intoleration
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it’s time for me to fly

{refrain} time for me to fly
Oh, I’ve got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
And that’s just how it’s got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it’s time for me to fly

Oh, don’t you know it’s...
{refrain}

It’s time for me to fly
