Okay, so we've all been there... either glad the person finally left, or balling our eyes out because they left.

What songs have artist written that in short describe a good break up song?

Include your Artist - Song Title, and give us the lyrics so we know why you chose that song.

I can think of a few, but I think my favorite break up song is:

Shotgun Messiah - Living Without You

I walk the streets alone at night
a shadow in the city light
I didn't know that love could hurt
how little broken hearts are worth

all that we had gone forever
things that we said it will never be
livin' without you don't bother me

if there's a tear in my eye
it's not for you
don't flatter yourself
if there's a tear in my eye
it's not for you

we crossed our hearts and hoped to die
we swore that we would never lie
but love just slipped away somehow
baby, it's all over now

all that we had gone forever
things that we said it will never be
livin' without you don't bother me

if there's a tear in my eye
it's not for you
don't flatter yourself
if there's a tear in my eye
it's not for you

you seemed so innocent, you had me blinded
what good is all your beauty, there's nothing behind it

(solo)

if there's a tear in my eye
it's not for you
don't flatter yourself
if there's a tear in my eye
it's not for you

lock the door and cut the lights
I won't be coming home tonight

Good one WZ, then there is Metallica's Wherever I May Roam (talking about divorce)..

But one of my favs is:

Godsmack - I Fucking Hate You

For everything you do, I'd like to swallow you. And everyday I'm gonna blame you. Even if you justify every f**king bulls**t lie, it only makes me want to break you. You pull me down, and you crucify my name, you make me insane. It's broken now, don't ever look my way. Don't even think I'm playin'! 'Cause I f**king hate you, you're such a liar. And I love to hate you, you're all the same to me. When you repeatedly take advantage of me, the only thought I get of you sickens me. Everybody knows you're fake - you're everything I f**king hate. And I'm everything that you could never be! You pull me down, and you crucify my name, you make me insane. It's broken now don't ever look my way. Don't even think I'm playin'! 'Cause I f**king hate you, you're such a liar. And I love to hate you, you're all the same to me. I f**king you hate you, you're such a liar. And I love to hate you, you're all the same to me. F**k you

Iced Earth - I died for you.

I think this a good song for break ups! lol

Five Finger Death Punch - Salvation

Disgusted by your weakness!!
You have NO right to live!!
To know you... Is to HATE you!!
But your life's, yours to give!!

You monkey see: You monkey do!!
You're always doing what they tell you to!!
You're such a puppet on a string!!
YOU DON'T GET IT!!??!!

I won't bow to something that I've never seen.
I can't believe in something that doesn't believe in me!
I'm not Blood of Your Blood!
I'm no son of your God!!
I've no faith in your fate!!
..STILL I FIND SALVATION!!

[guitar solo]

YOU THINK YOU HAVE THE ANSWERS… TO EVERY LAST DETAIL!?!
IN YOUR EYES YOU'RE THE "VICTOR"!?!
IN MINE YOU'VE ALL, BUT FAILED!!!!

You monkey see: You monkey do!!
You're always doing what they tell you to!!
You're such a puppet on a string!!
YOU DON'T GET IT!!??!!

You monkey see: You monkey do!!
You're always doing what they tell you to!!
You're such a puppet on a string!!
YOU DON'T GET IT!!??!!

I won't bow to something that I've never seen.

I'm not Blood of Your Blood!
I'm no son of your God!!

..STILL I FIND SALVATION!!

...STILL I FIND SALVATION!!

Wednesday 13 - Bad things

A bullet in your head is how I want it
Your body on the floor -- a Kodak moment
You're a waste of air and a waste of space
I want sharp _object_s to fly into your face
I hate you now more than I ever did
I wanna kill you, dig you up and do it again
I want a car to run over your head
Put it in reverse and do it again

I would be lying if I said that it wasn't true
I only want bad things to happen to you
I want bad things to happen to you
I want bad things to happen to you
I want very bad things to happen to you

It would be really great if you drowned in a lake
Or put a bag over your face and watched you suffocate
I'd celebrate at your wake, I'd bake myself a cake
'Cause you're my favorite person that I love to hate
And you're the reason that murder should be legalized
If it was, you'd be dead and in the ground by five
Just in case I forgot to say --
I hate you motherfucker in the very worst way

And I would be lying if I said that it wasn't true
I only want bad things to happen to you
I want bad things to happen to you
I want bad things to happen to you
I want very bad things to happen to you

I want bad things to happen to you
I want bad things to happen to you
I want bad things to happen to you
I want very bad things to happen to you
I want bad things to happen to you
I want bad things to happen to you
I want bad things to happen to you
I want very bad things to happen to you

Guns and Roses I used to love her

i used to love her
but i had to kill her
i used to love her
but i had to kill her
i had to put her
six feet under
and i can still hear her complain

i used to love her
but i had to kill her
i used to love her
but i had to kill her
i knew i'd miss her
so i had to keep her
she's buried right in my backyard

i used to love her
but i had to kill her
i used to love her
but i had to kill her
she bitched so much
she drove me nuts
and now i'm happier this way

i used to love her
but i had to kill her
i used to love her
but i had to kill her
i had to put her
six feet under
and i can still hear her complain

this is one if you realy break up in a fight

Chimaira - worthless

Did you ever realize
that your way of life
is affecting all around you,
bottom feeding ignorance
you make me fucking sick.
Did you ever realize
that everyone you know
can't fucking stand you,
acting like you know everything
when you don't even have a clue.

You're worthless

I can't fucking believe
you never realized
that your way of life
revolves around theft and greed.
Every week a new identity
yet still an asshole to me.
Did you ever realize
no matter how hard you try
you'll never make a difference,
just keep on fucking pretending
that you're a saint.

You're worthless

Nobody cares if you die

Worthless

You are fucking worthless
