Much like the favorite cereal one...

What do you think is the best break up song of all-time?

"Artful Dodger" by Jenny Toomey!! farking_polak November 6 2006, 00:24:03 UTC
ha you KNOW I'm jumping on this one!

Sometimes a moment as short as the shot he brought
Back to the blue collar corner of a high-stakes conversation
Can leave you brushing back the rock salt
Like Polaroids in a time vault
Hoping that it's your fault and not your imagination

There's as many kinds of happiness as there are kinds of sorrow
He'd been studying on the former from some side car he could borrow
And she wouldn't find a respite
From detailing regrets
She just hopes he finds there's content in the company he's kept

And all signs seem to point to "I don't know"
It was a moment as stolen as a slip back in a cafe
He was hazarding a question, maybe he wanted to hear her say it
And she would maybe risk an answer
In multiple choice
But the first two blanks are decoys, the obvious never found a voice

If you didn't respond I was going to be VERY upset!

Clearly the answer lies with Kelly Clarkson (does it say something about David and me that this is our song?):

Since U Been Gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get, I get what I want
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get (I get)
You should know (you should know)
That I get, I get what I want
Since U Been Gone
Since U Been Gone
Since U Been Gone

Of course, a close second would be the Duffster:

You can change your life - if you wanna
You can change your clothes - if you wanna
If you change your mind
Well, that's the way it goes

But I'm gonna keep your jeans
And your old black hat - cause I wanna
They look good on me
You're never gonna get them back

At least not today, not today, not today
'cause

If it's over, let it go and
Come tomorrow it will seem
So yesterday, so yesterday
I'm just a bird that's already flown away

Do those answers qualify me as Really Very Gay?

Yes, totally Really Very Gay!

But one of my favorite memories is us driving to Madonnarama in BAP's car singing Kelly Clarkson so loud with all the windows down! I believe it was Neil's request.

The Postal Service- Nothing Better

Will someone please call a surgeon
Who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart
That you're deserting for better company?
I can't accept that it's over...
I will block the door like a goalie tending the net
In the third quarter of a tied-game rivalry

So just say how to make it right
And I swear I'll do my best to comply

Tell me am I right to think that there could be nothing better
Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together

(The girl's part)I feel must interject here you're getting carried away feeling sorry for yourself
With these revisions and gaps in history
So let me help you remember.
I've made charts and graphs that should finally make it clear.
I've prepared a lecture on why I have to leave
So please back away and let me go

I can't my darling i love you so...

Tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better
Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together

(The girl's part)Don't you feed me lines about some idealistic future ( ... )

Break up songs are allowed to be sappy... I can't believe that no one has said You Outta Know yet!

Along the lines of that...how about Miserable by Lit?

You make me come
You make me complete
You make me completely miserable
Stuck to a chair
Watchin' this story about me
Everything goes by so fast
Making my head spin
Used up all of my friends
Who needs them when you mean everything
I love the things that we should fear
I'm not afraid of being here
So much the same
It makes me helpless alone
Nothing to share
Why should I care if your near me
Give up all of my plans
But who needs them
When you mean everthing
I love the things that we should fear
I'm not afraid of being here
So much the same
You make me helpless alone
Yeah, yeah..You make me come
Yeah, yeah..You make me complete
Yeah, yeah..You make me completely miserable
I love the things that we should fear
I'm not afraid of being here
So much the same
It makes me helpless alone
You make me come
You make me complete
You make me completely miserable
Yeah, yeah..You make me come
Yeah, yeah..You make me complete
Yeah, yeah..You make me completely miserable
