"You give love a bad name" Bon Jovi
"Total Eclipse of the Heart" ... forgets who sings it
And ... just recently, not to mention, totally out of character for me
"Where you been" Rasheeda
But I commit that this past "relationship," will be the only time I use that song for a breakup

There You Go by Pink. I love the chorus:
There u go, lookin' pitiful
Just because I let you go
There u go, talkin' bout you want me back
But sometimes it be's like that, so
There u go, talkin' bout you miss me so
That you love me so
Why I let you go
Yeah you know cause your lies got old
Look at you, there u go
There u go, lookin' pitiful
Just because I let you go
There u go, talkin' bout you want me back
But sometimes it be's like that, so
There u go, talkin' bout you miss me so
That you love me so
Why I let you go
Yeah you know cause your lies got old
Look at you, there u go

I'm not a big fan of breakup songs while I'm going through it. Its all just music to cry to at that moment. I can enjoy them when I'm in a better place. All time favorite is Lenny Williams' Because I Love You
That song has the best line of all time... Maybe you've never been in love like I've been in love
I think everyone has been there when your friends tell you to just get over it.

The break up song that worked the best for me is Jill Scott - "Slowly Surely". This song literally gave me strength to walk away from a relationship that was so hard to let go of.
"Slowly Surely"
Slowly surely,
I walk away from
that old desperate and dazed love
caught up in the maze of love
the crazy craze of love
thought it was good
thought it was real
thought it was
but it wasn't love
I just don't know
Where i should go
So
Slowly surely
I walk away from
self-serving
undeserving
constantly hurting me love
deserting me love
you said, I said, we said
but
Slowly surely
I walk away from
confusing love
misusing love
abusing love
this can't be

Taylor Swift has a lot of great songs
"White Horse"
Say you're sorry, that face of an angel
Comes out just when you need it to
As I paced back and forth all this time
Cause I honestly believed in you
Holding on, the days drag on
Stupid girl, I should have known
I should have known
I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to come around
[video=youtube;D1Xr-JFLxik]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1Xr-JFLxik&ob=av3e[/video]
"You're Not Sorry"
You don't have to call anymore
I won't pick up the phone
This is the last straw
Don't wanna hurt anymore
And you can say that you're sorry
But I don't believe you baby
Like I did before
You're not sorry, no, no, no, no
[video=youtube;BabmBHVfSW0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BabmBHVfSW0[/video]
"Forever and Always"
Once upon a time, I believe it was a Tuesday
When I caught your eye
We caught onto something, I hold on to the night
You looked me in the eye and told me you loved me
Were you just kidding? 'Cause it seems to me
This thing is breaking down, we almost never speak
I don't feel welcome anymore
Baby, what happened? Please tell me
'Cause one second it was perfect
Now you're halfway out the door
And I stare at the phone; he still hasn't called
And then you feel so low, you can't feel nothin' at all
And you flashback to when he said, forever and always
Oh, oh
And it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said forever and always
[video=youtube;qlGrhzcIBvw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlGrhzcIBvw[/video]
"Tell Me Why"
I took a chance, I took a shot
And you might think I'm bulletproof but I'm not
You took a swing, I took it hard
And down here from the ground, I see who you are
I'm sick and tired of your attitude
I'm feeling like I don't know you
You tell me that you love me then you cut me down
And I need you like a heartbeat
But you know you got a mean streak
Makes me run for cover when you're around
And here's to you and your temper
Yes, I remember what you said last night
And I know that you see what you're doing to me
Tell me, why?

Boyz II Men- Doing Just Fine
There was a time when I thought life
Was over and out, when you went away from me
My dying heart made it hard to breathe
Would sit in my room because I didn't want to
Have to go out and see you walking by
One look and I'd break right down and cry
Now you say that you made a big mistake
Never meant to take your love away
But you can save your tired apologies
'Cause it may seem hard to believe, but
I'm doin' just fine, getting along very well
Without you in my life, I don't need you in my life
I'm doin' just fine, time made me stronger
You're no longer on my mind
You were my earth, my number one priority
I gave my love to only you anything you'd ask of me
I would do but somewhere down the road
You felt a change in the weather and told me that
You had to journey on a kiss in the wind and your
Love was gone
Now, you say you never meant to play
Your games, girl don't you know it's far too late
Because you let our love just fall apart
You no longer have my heart
I'm doin' just fine, getting along very well
Without you in my life, I don't need you in my life
I'm doin' just fine, time made me stronger
You're no longer on my mind
When you said goodbye, I felt so all alone
There were times at night I couldn't sleep
My heart was much too weak to make it on my own
Baby, after all the misery and pain you put me through
So unfair to me girl, you're no longer my world
And I ain't missin' you at all
I'm doin' just fine, getting along very well
Without you in my life, I don't need you in my life
I'm doin' just fine, time made me stronger
You're no longer on my mind
See, baby when you walked away
You didn't think it would end up this way
But I knew you'd be coming 'round someday
Just as sure as my name is Wanya

Rocket Love - Stevie Wonder
'And at a half a mile from heaven, you dropped me back down to this cold, cold world.' is my favorite line EVAH. It's my required just got dumped song.
Right now, I'm feeling Chrisette Michelle, It's Over because I stayed a long time so that I wouldn't look bad to his and my family and friends. Now I don't give no <bleep> what he tells them. I gotsta go cause I don't want to hate him. Main, it's over.
