The perfect break up song?

Question

What's the perfect song after you just broke up with someone and don't feel too great about it? (rock/indie/alternative preferably)

or any song to listen to to cheer me up or that's just great to listen to.

Answer 1

That's All by Genesis.

Answer 2

) "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart," Al Green
This is the kind of song that you want to listen to while drowning your sorrows in a bottle of scotch.

2) "Unbreak My Heart," Toni Braxton
Sorrow never sounded as good as when Toni sang it on this song.

3) "Cry Me A River," Justin Timberlake
"The damage is done, so I guess I'll be leaving."

4) "Killing Me Softly," Roberta Flack
Not even a version of this song by Lauryn Hill and the Fugees could erase from people's mind's Roberta Flack's sorrowful tale of heartbreak.

5) "Ex-Factor," Lauryn Hill
"Ex-Factor" is like a modern-day "Killing Me Softly."

6) "Goodbye," Lyfe Jennings
Because sometimes breakin' up is easier than makin' up.

7) "Not Gon' Cry," Mary J. Blige
This is the song that began Mary J.'s push away from Hip-Hop and toward traditional R&B.

8) "Used to Love U," John Legend
The best song ever for breaking up with someone who has champagne tastes but a lite beer budget.

9) "So Sick," Ne-Yo
It doesn't get more real than not changing your answering machine message so that you can still hear the voice of the person who broke your heart.

10) "Tyrone," Erykah Badu
Maybe the funniest-ever kiss-off to a triflin' man.

Answer 3

This is an older song but I think that it may fit. To let you know how old I am, it was popular when I broke up with some one. It was excatly how I felt.


Artist: Phil Collins
Album: Hits
Title: Against All Odds


Featured on the soundtrack of "Against All Odds" ,1984

How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Ooh take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what I've got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around,
turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, cos there's just an empty space

But to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now, cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It's the chance I've gotta take

Take a look at me now

Answer 9

Hale
Waltz
I hate the way you are
So mean to me by far
The most frigid girl
That I have ever known

You speak loudly but
When I'm not around
You'll be just like them
So shallow and obnoxious

Please, that's enough, that's enough
Please, I've said this a million times before
And I'm sick

But all that I need
And all that I breath
And all that care for is you

You said that you'd call
by the time you will be home
But you never did
You said you didn't mean to

And now I am outraged
As if we were engaged
You made me realize
I'm just your alibi

Please, that's enough, that's enough
Please, I've said this a million times before
And I'm sick

But all that I need
And all that I breath
And all that care for is you

And all that I need
And all that I breath
And all that care for is you

I hate you
