Breakup Songs Thread.

Okay, we have the love songs thread, now for the breakup songs.

(If you don't have any because you always claim to be the one who does the breaking up, I don't want to know you.)


I'm not entirely sure it counts as a breakup song, but I totally relate to the fact that the guy is waiting for his woman to call, and she doesn't. He has no idea where he stands in the relationship, and now what is he supposed to think? Is she out with another man? Has she dumped him already?


The line, "Listen to the tears as they roll, roll as she turns to go
Down my face as she turns to go" ...well, I've been there before. Multiple times.


Sometimes you just can't quit that other person, even though they moved on so easily.


The last four songs on Donnie Iris' "King Cool" album are all heartache songs, this one (to me) is the most haunting. (But the others come close.)

One more, because although it's a sad song, it's so danceable!!!

 

Such a classic!

 

No link because it has been posted several times.

If You Could Read My Mind by Gordon Lightfoot (RIP). A breakup song so beautiful many people don't realize it's a breakup song.

Edit: I changed my mind (more like since I was in YouTube anyways.....)

Breakup, or
unrequited love?
