Do you have one that means more to you than the others? Any particular part? Care to share why?
After 3 years and right before I took a legal job in remote northern Maine, 7 hours from home, my current girlfriend decided that since we had no future, we should break up (dump me) and just be friends Rather than blurt out No, I decided I needed a reason for that decision and at that time I had none, because while a super hot babe is a great girlfriend, she can be a good friend and used as a lure when you went fishing for other babes.
A song came on the Radio. The singer was "lobo". The verses that got me: "I love you too much to ever start liking you, so let's just let the story have an end. I love you too much to ever start liking you, so don't expect for me to be your friend". She later married another guy, had the 5 kids she always wanted and knew were 5 more than I would ever give her and then he killed himself. Some stories have no happy endings, well I have had one. Whats yours.

I was always partial to the breakup song “what do you for money honey” by AC/DC. sentimentality was never my strong point, best of luck in your newfound singleness.
I don't have any great breakup stories, but Tonio K had 3 great breakup songs on his first album, Life in the Food Chain:
but let me put this another way · ok?
i'm full of h-a-t-r-e-d i'm bitter and malign you've got me p-i-s-s-e-d off i'm angry most of the time why don't you g-o t-o h-e-double"l" you tramp you philandering bitch i'm going to k-i-l-l one of us baby give me time and i'll decide on which youtu.be
well then try & think about me think about heartbreak, misery think about all the things that we've been through-- or think about how a cast would look on you
The album includes another song which is almost a breakup song. It's called How Come I Can't See You in My Mirror? In it the singer discovers he's dating a vampire.
Great songs.
Lobo (Kent LaVoie) was great--best known for "Me and You and Dog Named Boo." Thanks for sharing your story.
This thread has bad vibes. Now I've got to go bang a stripper or something.
Or you could just play some country music backwards!
Nothing with a deeper meaning but Greg Kihns Band- Breakup Song, I fucking love that song
Dierks Bentley's "Drunk on a Plane" always reminds me of a particularly bad breakup I had. We broke up after nearly 3 years together less than a week before we were supposed to go on a trip together down to Turks and Caicos where I was planning to propose until I found out she was cheating on me.
I sold the ring and still went on the trip without her. I spent most of the trip drunk and partying trying to get her out of my mind. It actually turned out really fun and those 10 days of drunken partyingin the Caribbean turned out to be exactly what I needed.
This one is personal and I won’t share, but it’s a true break up song sung by Ray Price For the Good Times m.youtube.com
Living this one right now.

Well SkiDumb, bad things happen to good people as exemplified by your hot ex girlfriend. Good things happen to shitty people, which is why God decided you shouldn’t procreate.
Muddy nailed it Greg Kihn Band - The Break Up Song
Hell, the title says it all. Great car radio tune to crank up the volume.
Every Rose Has It’s Thorn is a close second
^^Mate here's wishing you much impotence you little pussy. Oh, please get cancer.
Haha Greg Kihn Break Up Song. I love that song too, but I looked up the lyrics and realized that although I've heard it about a thousand times, the only words I ever knew were "They don't write 'em like that anymore" and "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah".
