Mine's gotta be Jeff Buckley's 'Last Goodbye'. Fantastic break up song. I listen to it after breaking up with a girl and then furiously masturbate for hours before crying myself to sleep. What's yours?
It might well be too treacly for most but I steer clear of about 75% of the Carpenters' output during the difficult hour or two after splitting up with someone before I pull again.
Met a girl
Thought she was grand
Fell in love
Found out first hand
Went well for a week or two
Then it all came unglued
CHORUS:
In a trap
Trap I can't grip
Never thought I'd be the one who'd slip
Then I started to realize
I was living one big lie
She fuckin' hates me
Trust
She fuckin' hates me
La la la love
I tried too hard
And she tore my feelings like I had none
And ripped them away
She was queen for about an hour
After that, her shit got sour
She took all I ever had
No sign of guilt
No feeling of bad, no
CHORUS
That's my story
As you see
Learned my lesson
And so did she
Now it's over
And I'm glad
Cuz I'm a fool for all I said
Did you ever hear the words
That said love would end I read them tonight
Mistakes I can't defend
I didn't stop to think
And I upset her
I said good night tonight the last time forever
I think of her tonight
She keeps me from my sleep but what can I do
With all these memories
I use to be so shy
And hide my temper
I'll say good night tonight the last time forever
It all went wrong when I grew jealous
I didn't realise my strength
Could take the life of one so happy
Together we were known as good friends
Did you ever read the words
That said I love you I read them tonight
But what good can they do
I regret what I have done
It wasn't clever
I said good night tonight the last time forever
