I know it may not be a good idea to listen to sad breakup songs during this period, but some of them just manage to express how I truly feel at this moment. I'd love to hear what others have to share.

 

Eyes Without A Face - Billy Idol:

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpmWIyjilQo

 

Lyrics:

 

I'm all out of hope

One more bad dream could bring a fall

When I'm far from home

Don't call me on the phone

To tell me you're alone

It's easy to deceive

It's easy to tease

But hard to get release

 

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face

Got no human grace your eyes without a face.

 

I spend so much time

Believing all the lies

To keep the dream alive

Now it makes me sad

It makes me mad at truth

For loving what was you

 

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face

Got no human grace your eyes without a face.

 

When you hear the music you make a dip

Into someone else's pocket then make a slip.

Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool.

I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip

Reading murder books tryin' to stay hip.

I'm thinkin' of you you're out there so

Say your prayers.

Say your prayers.

Say your prayers.

 

Now I close my eyes

And I wonder why

I don't despise

Now all I can do

Is love what was once

So alive and new

But it's gone from your eyes

I'd better realise

 

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face

Got no human grace your eyes without a face.

Such a human waste your eyes without a face

And now it's getting worse.

 

Your Ex-Lover Is Dead - Stars:

 

 

Lyrics:

 

When there is nothing left to burn

You have to set yourself on fire

God that was strange to see you again

Introduced by a friend of a friend

Smiled and said "yes I think we've met before"

In that instant it started to pour

 

Captured a taxi despite all the rain

We drove in silence across Pont Champlain

And all of that time you thought I was sad

I was trying to remember your name

 

This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin

You tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in

And now you're outside me you see all the beauty

Repent all your sin

 

It's nothing but time and a face that you'll lose

I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose

I'll write you a postcard, I'll send you the news

From the house down the road, from real love

 

Live through this and you won't look back

Live through this and you won't look back

Live through this and you won't look back

 

There's one thing I want to say so I'll be brave

You were what I wanted, I gave what I gave

I'm not sorry I met you

I'm not sorry it's over

I'm not sorry there's nothing to save

I'm not sorry there's nothing to save

 

Communication - The Cardigans:

 

 

Lyrics:

 

For 27 years I’ve been trying to believe and confide in

Different people I’ve found.

Some of them got closer than others

And some wouldn’t even bother and then you came around

I didn’t really know what to call you, you didn’t know me at all

But I was happy to explain.

I never really knew how to move you

So I tried to intrude through the little holes in your veins

And I saw you

But that’s not an invitation

That’s all I get

If this is communication

I disconnect

I’ve seen you, I know you

But I don’t know

How to connect, so I disconnect

 

You always seem to know where to find me and I’m still here behind you

In the corner of your eye.

I’ll never really learn how to love you

But I know that I love you through the hole in the sky.

 

Where I see you

And that’s not an invitation

That’s all I get

If this is communication

I disconnect

I’ve seen you, I know you

But I don’t know

How to connect, so I disconnect

 

Well this is an invitation

It’s not a threat

If you want communication

 

That’s what you get

I’m talking and talking

But I don’t know

How to connect

And I hold a record for being patient

With your kind of hesitation

I need you, you want me

But I don’t know

How to connect, so I disconnect

I disconnect.

 

Lost Cause - Beck:

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9xQVtZLIbo

 

Lyrics:

 

Your sorry eyes cut through the bone

Make it hard to leave you alone

Leave you here wearing your wounds

Waving your guns at somebody new

[chorus]:

Baby you're a lost, baby you're a lost

Baby you're a lost cause

 

There's too many people you used to know

They see you coming, they see you go

They know your secrets, and you know theirs

This town is crazy, nobody cares

 

[chorus]

I'm tired of fighting, I'm tired of fighting

Fighting for a lost cause

There's a place you are going

You ain't never been before

No one laughing at your back now

No on's standing at your door

That's what you thought love was for

 

[chorus]

I'm tired of fighting, I'm tired of fighting

Fighting for a lost cause

Awesome song by a band called City and Colour. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btjhdHX8pMo

It's the lead singer of Alexisonfire. It's his solo project. Dallas Green is his name Dallas = City Green = Colour

 

I wont quote the whole song but the last line goes,

"I have one last quuestion

Will it be my heart or will it be his"

 

Just freaking amazing. Just how I feel

You Could Be Happy - Snow Patrol:

 

 

(Just the song, not the official video).

 

Thanks for the other posts as well! I love the songs you guys posted.

Right now, I'm really getting into Erase by Mika.

 

I shouldn't have called so late last night, all insecure, out of my mind.

I shoulda never left that message on your phone.

I shouldn't have said the things I said, looking for love we left for dead in a grave, without a stone.

As soon as you hear my voice, don't hesitate, put your finger on the button...

Erase!

My love.

I bet you can't erase!

My touch.

You're trying to replace, a feeling without a name, with somebody's face!

In your head!

Everything's cool, your rent is paid; the house is clean, your bed is made.

But it's a ghost town in your mind.

We never had time to go to sleep, we'd wake up tangled in the sheets, on a bed, that we called home.

When the pain won't go away, you might as well, put your finger on the trigger...

 

Michelle Branch's - Are you happy now?

Do you really have everything you want?

You can't ever give somethin' you ain't got

You can’t run away from yourself

 

Could you look me in the eye?

and tell me that you're happy now, yeah, yeah

come on, tell it to my face or have i been replaced,

are you happy now? Ohhh, ohhhh

are you happy now?

 

OMG, I just found a Youtube of Robert Downey Jr, singing "Smile".

Smile though your heart is breaking..

I was looking for I want Love, Elton John with RDjr. in the video..

I want love on my own terms

After everything I've ever learned

Me, I carry too much baggage

Oh man I've seen so much traffic

The video with RDJ is so good.

 

Lots of songs. Lots of memories. Lots of sadness and pain.
