Well.... everybody knows about love songs and the songs newly weds dance on .... but... what would you consider to be the best 'break up' song ? (thinking more in the lines of Gloria Gaynor's 'I will survive' or Stampeders/Ray Charles' 'Hit the road Jack'....) Let your imagination flow....:-) Thanks

SAIL ON
The Commodores
Sail on down the line
About a half a mile or so
Don't really wanna know
Where you're goin
Maybe once or twice you see
Time after time I tried
To hold on to what we got
But now you're goin
And I don't mind
About the things you're gonna say Lord
I gave all my money, and my time
I know it's a shame
But I'm givin you back your name
Yeah, yeah.
Yes I'll be on my way
I won't be back to stay
I guess I'll move along
I'm lookin for a good time.
Sail on down the line,
Ain't it funny how time can go
Friends say they told me so,
But it doesn't matter.
It was plain to see that a small town boy like me
Just wasn't your cup of tea,
I was wishful thinkin.
I gave you my heart and I tried to make you happy,
And you gave me nothing in return.
You know, it ain't so hard to say,
Would you please just go away.
Yeah, yeah.
I've thrown away the blues
I'm tired of being used,
I want everyone to know
I'm lookin for a good time.
Good time, yeah.
Whoa oh,
Sail on, honey
Good times never felt so good.
Sail on sugar,
Good times never felt so good.
Sail on.

Ex-Factor by Lauryn Hill
It could all be so simple
But you'd rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle
And we both end up with scars
Tell me, who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will
Is this just a silly game
That forces you to act this way
Forces you to scream my name
Then pretend that you can't stay
Tell me, who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will
[Hook:]
No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain't workin'
It ain't workin'
And when I try to walk away
You'd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy
This is crazy

half the songs hinder sings lol. let's see you got
better than me - broke up with someone you still love because you aren't good enough for them
how long - she broke up with you, you still love and see her with a friend and it hurts
bliss - drowning yourself in drink because you don't wanna admit she broke up with you
get stoned - well, not really break up, more want to but don't cause the sex is so good so get stoned to put up with it
lips of an angel - talking to an ex you still care for but you are with someone new and not going back (it is not about cheating!!)
shoulda - she said "i love you" and he didn't reply and she dropped him and he regrets not saying it (even if the guys say the words could be "i hate you", i don't see how and i keep forgetting to ask them about it lol)

Lyrics:
I tried to be perfect
But nothing was worth it
I don't believe it makes me real
I thought it'd be easy
But no one believes me
I meant all the things I said
If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own
This place is so empty
My thoughts are so tempting
I don't know how it got so bad
Sometimes it's so crazy
That nothing can save me
But it's the only thing that I have
If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own
On my own
I tried to be perfect
It just wasn't worth it
Nothing could ever be so wrong
It's hard to believe me
It never gets easy
I guess I knew that all along
If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own
