Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
technically not a break up song (well, not until near the end of the song), but still pretty good, imo. "break your heart" by barenaked ladies.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMNfB7MWRIY&feature=related
The bravest thing I've ever done
Was to run away and hide
But not this time, not this time
And the weakest thing I've ever done
Was to stay right by your side
Just like this time, and every time
I couldn't tell you I was happy you were gone
So I lied and said that I missed you when we were apart.
I couldn't tell you, so I had to lead you on
But I didn't mean to break your heart.
And if...if...if I always seem distracted
Like my mind's somewhere else,
That's because it's true
Yes it's true
it's this stupid pride that makes me feel
Like I have to follow through
Even half-assedly, loving you
Why must I always speak in terms of cowardice?
When I guess I should have just come out and told you right from the start
Why must I always tell you all I want is this?
I guess cause I wouldn't want to break your heart
And you said;
"What'd you think that I was gonna do,
Curl up and die just because of you?
I'm not that weak, you know
What'd you think that I was gonna do,
Try to make you love me as much as I love you?
how could you be so low?
You arrogant man,
What do you think that I am?
My heart will be fine
Just stop wasting my time"
And now I'm over you, I'll be ok
And that I've got what I want
And that's rid of you
Good-bye
And it's not cause I'll be missing you
That makes me fall apart
it's just that I didn't mean to break
No, I didn't mean to break
No, I didn't mean to break
Your heart
Your heart
"...One drink to remember and another to forget. Excuse me please, one more drink. Could you make it strong, 'cause I don't want to think she... broke my heart, my Grace is gone. One more drink and I'll move on."
great song but I dont think its about a break up, I think its about somebody wanting you, and youre keeping them on the hook but you know youre never gonna be with them becuase they have too many issues, and it could go either way, I think its told from a perspective that could be either person.
just read the lyrics
Haven't laughed this hard in a long time
I better stop now before I start crying
Go off to sleep in the sunshine
I don't want to see the day when it's dying
She's a sight to see (sight to see)
She's good to me (good to me)
But I'm already somebody's baby
She's a pretty thing
And she knows everything
But I'm already somebody's baby
You don't deserve to be lonely
But those drugs you've got won't make you feel better
Pretty soon you'll find it's the only
Little part of your life you're keeping together
I'm nice to you
I could make it through
But you're already somebody's baby
I could make you smile
If you stayed a while
But how long will you stay with me, baby?
Because your candle burns too bright
Well I almost forgot it was twilight
Even if I think that you are right
Well I'm tired of being down, I got no fight
You're wonderful
And it's beautiful
But I'm already somebody's baby
And if I went with you
I'd disappoint you too
Well I'm already somebody's baby
Already somebody's baby
yeah I agree EW, I always thought this song was from the perspective of one who is totally into a girl and loves everything about her and she was taken in his past but now she is available and wants him and is totally messed us (hence the drugs wont make you feel better) but right now, while she is single, he is with someone and he knows deep down, that he will disapoint her if he actually became her boyfriend
I can relate to that
so many great lines in that song, from one of my favourite lyricist

It's tearing in the place where my heart once stood
and missing you baby ain't doing me good
It's gnawing and gnashing like teeth in my head
and there's times in the night I'd feel better off dead.
So I am over you tell me what good does it do
Cuz I'm drunk and drinking at Hattie's at a quarter to two
Cuz I'm over you.
He's serving you drinks he's dishing up smiles
When it's bar time baby those minutes mean miles
Well he's a watchdog girl don't you understand
That while he's barking up your tree the boy's got new plans.
So I am over you tell me what good does it do
Cuz I'm drunk and drinking at Hattie's at quarter to two
So I am over you tell me what good does it bring
Cuz I'm over you, and you're over me
When we look at the truth, it's ugly we see.
When I read to you baby from the book that you wrote
I got a choked up feeling in the back of my throat
Was it a love sick virus or the knot in my noose
You say your backpack's heavy b*tch set the bricks loose.
So I am over you tell me what good does it do
Cuz I'm drunk and drinking at Hattie's at a quarter to two
So I am over you tell me what good does it bring
I empty the bottles, I fill up the ashtrays and sing.
Nude - Radiohead
No Ones Gonna Love You - Band of Horses
Are You There - Mono
Sing it Again - Beck
were the ones that got me most last time
“I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”
"...One drink to remember and another to forget. Excuse me please, one more drink. Could you make it strong, 'cause I don't want to think she... broke my heart, my Grace is gone. One more drink and I'll move on."
Also, I dont think Rootless Tree is about a break up. I think its about being in a relationship that is so terrible you know you want out of but something is keeping you there and you want out but dont at the same time because being with someone and miserable is better then being alone and miserable.

Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
One by U2 is another fantastic one... Didn't really understand it until the latest disaster I called a relationship...

wow..just wow. this is EXACTLY how i feel about this song. i never thought of it as a breakup song until recently....perfectly describes my "relationship"
Well we hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on to what you got
When all you got is hurt

Quite an alcoholics break-up song, but it still breaks your heart.

Although I think its more about realizing you fucked up with someone and its never gonna be the same again so you may as well move on.
