Question

"With or without you" u2
"Honey and the Moon" Joseph Arthur (used on OC)

Answer 1

the rodeo song

Answer 2

Honestly it isn't really a break up song, by Mellon Collie and the Infinate Sadness by Smashning Pumpkins honestly could make even the strongest person shed a tear. there isn't any words, it's just instrumentals, however, the mixture of the piano, vilins, and oother instruments can create a more depressing, saddening scene. If you don't pick it, it's fine, you should just do yourself a favor and listen to it. You might need it in the future.

Answer 3

I've just recently come across this song by John Mayer, who I normally don't like except this song and a couple of others:

Comfortable
I just remembered that time at the market
You snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart
And drove down aisle 5
You looked behind you and smiled back at me
Crashed into a rack full of magazines
They asked us if we could leave

Can't remember what went wrong last September
Though I'm sure you'd remind me if you had to

Our love was comfortable and so broken in

I sleep with this new girl I'm still getting used to
My friends all approve, say she's gonna be good for me
They throw me high five's
She says the Bible is all that she reads
And prefers that I not use profanity

Your mouth was so dirty
Life of the party
And she swears that she's artsy
But you could distinguish Miles from Coltrain

Our love was comfortable and so broken in
She's perfect
So flawless
Or so they say-ay-ay-ay
Say-ay-ay-ay

She thinks I can't see the smile that she's faking
The poses for pictures that aren't being taken

I loved you
Gray sweat pants
No makeup
So perfect

Our love was comfortable and so broken in
She's perfect, so flawless
I'm not impressed

I want you back-a-a-ack

Answer 9

Walk Away by Ben Harper


Oh no- here comes that sun again.
And (that) means another day without you my friend.
And it hurts me to look into the mirror at myself.
And it hurts even more to have to be with somebody else.

And it's so hard to do and so easy to say.
But sometimes - sometimes,
you just have to walk away - walk away.

With so many people to love in my life, why do I worry about one?
But you put the happy in my ness, you put the good times into my fun.

And it's so hard to do and so easy to say.
But sometimes - sometimes,
you just have to walk away - walk away and head for the door.

We've tried the goodbye so many days.
We walk in the same direction so that we could never stray.
They say if you love somebody than you have got to set them free,
but I would rather be locked to you than live in this pain and misery.
They say time will make all this go away,
but it's time that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays.
And once again that rising sun is droppin' on down
And once again, you my friend, are nowhere to be found.

And it's so hard to do and so easy to say.
But sometimes, sometimes you just have to walk away, walk away and head for the door.
You just walk away - walk away - walk away.
You just walk away, walk on, turn and head for the door.
