So my (now ex) girlfriend of three years broke up with me a couple of weeks ago, and since then I've had a couple of songs playing on repeat in my head.

1) Walk Away by Ben Harper
2) Grace is Gone by Dave Matthews Band

What are some other good breakup songs? I'm tired of these two and figure if I'm going to torture myself, I should at least find some new songs to do it with.

What ya got?

There There - Radiohead

In pitch dark I go walking in your landscape
Broken branches trip me as I speak
Just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there
There's always a siren singing you to shipwreck (don't reach out, don't reach out [x2])
Stay away from these rocks we'd be a walking disaster (don't reach out, don't reach out [x2])
Just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there (there's someone on your shoulder [x2])
Feel it
Why so green
And lonely [x3]
Heaven sent you
To me [x3]
We are accidents waiting
Waiting to happen
We are accidents waiting
Waiting to happen

Based on some of what she's done/said over the past month, that would be giving her too much credit.

^ Really? Who sings that song?

7/17/2008 10:57:43 AM

AT FIRST I WAS AFRAID
I WAS PETRIFIED
KEPT THINKIN' I COULD NEVER LIVE
WITHOUT YOU BY MY SIDE
BUT I SPENT SO MANY NIGHTS
THINKIN' HOW YOU DID ME WRONG
AND I GREW STRONG
I LEARNED HOW TO CARRY ON
AND SO YOU'RE BACK
FROM OUTER SPACE
I JUST WALKED IN TO FIND YOU HERE
WITH THAT SAD LOOK UPON YOUR FACE
I SHOULD HAVE CHANGED MY STUPID LOCK
I SHOULD HAVE MADE YOU LEAVE YOUR KEY
IF I HAD KNOW FOR JUST ONE SECOND
YOU'D BE BACK TO BOTHER ME

GO ON NOW GO!
WALK OUT THE DOOR!
JUST TURN AROUND NOW
'CAUSE YOU'RE NOT WELCOME ANYMORE
WEREN'T YOU THE ONE WHO TRIED TO HURT ME WITH GOODBYE
YOU THINK I'D CRUMBLE
YOU THINK I'D LAY DOWN AND DIE
OH NO, NOT I!
I WILL SURVIVE
OOHHH AS LONG AS I KNOW HOW TO LOVE
I KNOW I'LL STAY ALIVE
I'VE GOT ALL MY LIFE TO LIVE
I'VE GOT ALL MY LOVE TO GIVE
AND I WILL SURVIVE
I WILL SURVIVE!!

IT TOOK ALL THE STRENGTH I HAD
NOT TO FALL APART
KEPT 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 SEE ME
SOMEBODY NEW
I'M NOT THAT CHAINED UP LITTLE PERSON
STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU
AND SO YOU FELT LIKE DROPPING IN
AND JUST EXPECT ME TO BE FREE
NOW I'M SAVING ALL LOVIN
FOR SOMEONE WHO'S LOVING ME

GO ON NOW GO!
WALK OUT THE DOOR!
JUST TURN AROUND NOW
'CAUSE YOU'RE NOT WELCOME ANYMORE
WEREN'T YOU THE ONE WHO TRIED TO BREAK ME WITH GOODBYE
YOU THINK I'D CRUMBLE
YOU THINK I'D LAY DOWN AND DIE
OH NO, NOT I!
I WILL SURVIVE
OOHH AS LONG AS I KNOW HOW TO LOVE
I KNOW I'LL STAY ALIVE
'CAUSE I'VE GOT ALL MY LIFE TO LIVE
AND I'VE GOT ALL MY LOVE TO GIVE
AND I WILL SURVIVE
I WILL SURVIVE

I WILL SURVVVVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVE

Things can happen in an instant and
things can go unnoticed and
things can be blurted out without question

I know i have no reason to
to feel the way that i do
I know i have no reason to
to feel the way that i do

the way i feel about you

I told myself that i was through yeah
I told myself that i was through
I told myself that i was through
but am i really through with you

Me with my other
You've found another
These devils on my shoulder
Have torn me apart

Feeling cheated is ridiculous on my part
but it's there
but it's there
for some reason it's there

I set myself up for destruction
I think i knew it from the start
I set myself up for destruction
I think i knew it from the start
I set myself up for destruction
I think i knew it from the start
I set myself up for destruction
I think we knew it from the late
nightslong talks emotions
i should have kept at bay
things that i didn't have to say

I told myself that I was through yeah
I told myself that i was through

Yeah, I'm waiting for that day when she'll call me up because she's bored, so I can tell her to fuck off. She's back in our hometown now where there's nothing to do. Not to mention she doesn't have all that many friends (especially ones that go to State) in the first place.
