Top 10 Heartbreak Songs

What are your top 10 heartbreak songs (not that I'm hoping you have heartbreaks or anything, but if and when you're heart's been broken or a relationship's ended, what are the songs you listen to which kind of help or you just have to listen to in order to confirm your mood)?



1)Cry (Godley & Creme)
"You don't know what the sound is darlin'
It's the sound of my tears fallin'
Or is it the rain?"

2)War Of The Hearts (Sade)
"I'm loaded
don't know where to point this thing
It's a sin
how we hit, where it hurts"

3)Like A Baby (Wham!)
"Foreign skies,
that blinded me, to empty charms
I crossed the ocean,
and fell into your arms
So sure, so wrong
You sang me a simple tune
I took it for a song..."

4)Send Her My Love (Journey)
"The same hotel, the same old room
I'm on the road again
She needed so much more,
Than I could give
We knew our love could not pretend,
Broken hearts can always mend..."

5)Heaven Help Me (Deon Estus/George Michael)
"If you want it, you can have it
That's what you said, but I don't
want the things that you leave behind
Take the pictures, take the windows,
And the walls, but baby won't you leave
me, my peace of mind..."

6)Holding Back The Years (Simply Red)
"I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
Nothing ever could..."

7)I Hate U (Prince)
"Right now I hate U so much I wanna make love until U see
That it's killin' me baby, 2 be without U
Cuz all I ever wanted 2 do was 2 be with U
I hate U, because I love U
But I can't love U, because I hate U..."

8)Crying Hands (Larry Carlton)
(instrumental)

9)A Little More Love (Lisa Stansfield)
"Baby when you hold me
You don't touch me like you did
But still I want you by my side
Baby I'll do, anything..."

10)I'll Be Over You (Toto)
"It takes some time
God knows how long
I know that I can forget you
As soon as my heart stops breakin’
Anticipating
As soon as forever is through
I’ll be over you..."

Marvin Gaye, "I Wish it Would Rain"
Day in, day out, my tear-stained face pressed against the window pane.
My eyes search the skies, desperately for rain.
'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops,
And no one will ever know.

Janet, "Come Back to Me"
Lord knows that I have tried to live my life as one.
Friends tell me to hold on, tough times don't last for long.
But my abandoned heart just doesn't understand,
And my undying love for you won't let me wait.

Janet, "Where Are You Now"
If I close my eyes and make a wish,
When they open will you be right here with me?

Janet, "Again"
A wounded heart you gave, my soul you took away.
Good intentions you had many, I know you did.
I come from a place that hurts, and God knows how I've cried.
And I never want to return, never fall again.

Stevie Wonder, "I Never Dreamed You'd Leave in Summer"
You said then you'd be the life in autumn,
Said you'd be the one to see the way.
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer,
But now I find my love has gone away. Why didn't you stay?

Aaliyah, "The One I Gave My Heart To"
How could the one I gave my world to throw my world away?
How could the one who said "I love you" say the things you say?
How could the one I was so true to just tell me lies?
How could the one I gave my heart to break this heart of mine?

Aaliyah, "I Miss You"
I can't breathe no more since you went away.
I don't really feel like talking, don't wanna hear you don't love me.
Baby, do you understand me?
I can't do a thing without you.

Christina Aguilera, "Walk Away"
I should've known I was used for amusement.
Couldn't see through the smoke, it was all an illusion.
Now I've been lickin' my wounds, but the venom seeps deeper.
We both can seduce, but, darlin', you hold me prisoner.

Prince, "I Hate U"
Did U do 2 your other man the same things that U did 2 me?
Right now I hate U so much I wanna make love until U see,
That it's killing me, baby, 2 be without U.
'Cause all I ever wanted 2 do was be with U.

Mariah Carey, "Love Takes Time"
Losin' my mind from this hollow in my heart,
Suddenly I'm so incomplete.
Lord, I'm needing you now, tell me how to stop the rain.
Tears are falling down endlessly.

Madonna, "Take a Bow"
I've always been in love with you,
I guess you've always known it's true.
You took my love for granted, why, oh, why?
The show is over, say goodbye.

Boyz II Men, "On Bended Knee"
Can we go back to the days our love was strong?
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong?
Can't somebody tell me how to get things back the way they used to be.
Oh, God, give me the reason I'm down on bended knee.

Boyz II Men, "End of the Road"
Although we've come to the end of the road, still I can't let go.
It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you.

Goo Goo Dolls, "Name"
Scars are souvenirs you never lose, the past is never far.
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there, did you get to be a star?
Don't it make you sad to know that life is more than who we are?

I feel the same way about that song.

The day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom - Anais Nin

"Unnecessary giggling"...

Perhaps the best line about bad luck in love comes from the immortal

"Deacon Blues," Steely Dan --

My back to the wall, a victim of laughing chance,
This is for me, the essence of true romance . . .

This may sound strange to u all, but I never pulled out a song to mend my broken heart. What I have always done was grab my guitar or sit at my piano and play. I then play what my heart is aching over. Then, I end up with some more songs. That's how I deal.

"I Know It's Over" - The Smiths


Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well. Enough said.
I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Oh ...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
See, the sea wants to take me
The knife wants to slit me
Do you think you can help me ?
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
Handsome groom, give her room
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
(Though she needs you
More than she loves you)
And I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Over and over and over and over
Over and over, la ...
I know it's over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real
And you even spoke to me, and said :
"If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
I know ...
'Cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms..."
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over
Love is Natural and Real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is Natural and Real
But not for such as you and I, my love
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can even feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...

It's Over - Roy Orbison
Your baby doesn't love you anymore

Golden days before they end,
Whisper secrets to the wind
Your baby won't be near you anymore.

Tender nights before they fly
And falling stars that seem to cry
Your baby doesn't want you anymore
It's over.


No Reply - The Beatles
I've tried to telephone,
They said you were not home,
That's a lie,
'cause I know where you've been,
I saw you walk in your door,
I nearly died, I nearly died,
'cause you walked hand in hand
With another man in my place.

No reply, no reply.


Hurt So Bad - Little Anthony & Imperials
I know you
Don't know what I'm going through
Standing here looking at you

Well let me tell you that it hurts so bad
It makes me feel so sad
It makes me hurt so bad
To see you again, like needles and pins

People say
You've been making out OK
She's in love don't stand in her way


Tears On My Pillow - Little Anthony & Imperials
You don't remember me
But I remember you
It was not so long ago
You broke my heart in two

Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you (you)


Stop! In The Name Of Love - The Supremes
Baby, baby
I'm aware of where you go
Each time you leave my door
I watch you walk down the street
Knowing your other love you'll meet
But this time before you run to her
Leaving me alone and hurt
(Think it over) After I've been good to you ?
(Think it over) After I've been sweet to you ?

Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over


I Can't Stop Loving You - Ray Charles
(I can´t stop loving you)
I´ve made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(I can´t stop wanting you)
It´s useless to say
So I´ll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Dreams of yesterday)

Those happy hours that we once knew
Tho´ long ago, they still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we´ve been apart


Your Cheatin' Heart - Hank Williams
Your cheatin heart,
Will make you weep,
You'll cry and cry,
And try to sleep,
But sleep wont come,
The whole night through,
Your cheatin heart, will tell on you...

When tears come down,
Like falling rain,
You'll toss around,
And call my name,
You'll walk the floor,
The way i do,
Your cheatin heart, will tell on you...


Crazy - Patsy Cline
Crazy, I'm crazy for feelin' so lonely,
I'm crazy, crazy for feelin' so blue.....
I knew, you'd love me as long as you wanted,
And then someday, you'd leave me for somebody new.
Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wonderin', what in the world did I do?
Oh, crazy, for thinkin' that my love could hold you.....
I'm crazy for tryin' and crazy for cryin
And I'm crazy for lovin' you.


The Tracks Of My Tears - Smokey Robinson
People say I'm the life of the party
Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue

So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Just look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you, need you

Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute she's just a substitute
'Cause you're the permanent one

Outside, I'm masquerading
Inside, my hope is fading
Just a clown, oh yeah since you put me down
My smile is my make-up I wear since my break-up with you


The Things I Miss The Most - Steely Dan
I don't mind the quiet
Or the lonely nights
I don't miss the funky attitudes
And I don't miss the fights
I lie on the couch 'till suppertime
And hunker down and read the Post
And that's when I remember the things I miss the most:

The talk
The sex
Somebody to trust
The Audi TT
The house on the Vineyard
The house on the gulf coast
These are the things I miss the most

I kinda like frying up
My sad cuisine
Gettin' in bed and curling up with a girlie magazine
But sometimes in the corner of my eye
I see that adorable ghost
And then ba-boom I remember the things I miss the most

The talk
The sex
Somebody to trust
The comfy Eames chair
The good copper pans
The '54 Strat
These are the things I miss the most

I had a little birdy friend
By morning she was gone
Birdy good-bye
Birdy bye-bye

I'm learning how to meditate
So far so good
I'm building the Andrea Doria out of balsa wood
The days really don't last forever
But it's getting pretty damn close
And that's when I remember the things I miss the most:

The talk
The sex
Somebody to trust
The Audi TT
The house on the Vineyard
The house on the gulf coast
These are the things I miss the most
