"When you're in jail, a good friend will be trying to bail you out. A best friend will be in the cell next to you saying, 'Damn, that was fun'."

The Best Break Up Songs
Ok folks, it is time for another round of tell Jack your favorite songs. In this case I am curious to hear what your favorite break up songs are.
And if you don't have a favorite break up song let me know if you have a favorite lyric.
And now I'm all alone again, Nowhere to turn, no one to go to. Without a home, without a friend, Without a face to say hello to. And now the night is near, Now I can make believe he's here.
Sometimes I walk alone at night When everybody else is sleeping. I think of him, and then I'm happy With the company I'm keeping. The city goes to bed, And I can live inside my head.
On my own, Pretending he's beside me. All alone, I walk with him till morning. Without him, I feel his arms around me, And when I lose my way I close my eyes And he has found me.
In the rain, The pavement shines like silver. All the lights Are misty in the river. In the darkness, The trees are full of starlight, And all I see is him and me for ever and forever.
And I know It's only in my mind, That I'm talking to myself And not to him. And although I know that he is blind, Still I say, There's a way for us.
I love him, But when the night is over, He is gone, The river's just a river. Without him, The world around me changes. The trees are bare and everywhere The streets are full of strangers.
I love him, But every day I'm learning, All my life, I've only been pretending! Without me, His world will go on turning, A world that's full of happiness That I have never known!
I love him... I love him... I love him... But only on my own...
Now you see me - Lee Ann Womack The Grand Tour - George Jones Who says your can't have it all - Alan Jackson Alway something there to remind me - Naked Eyes (I don't know who did it originally.)
You should have heard me sobbing As I drove home that night Got into bed and stayed there For days I just laid there Having been permanently changed But we won't get into that now Let's take it from the start
You should have seen me smiling Like the world was mine She used to call me baby Softly, sometimes But if I dwell on those days too long I feel like my life is over And that's no good So let's move on
To the part where I begin to sense Her distance I panic and hold on tighter But that makes it worse How am I supposed to take it When she said:
"This is something I'm going through, It's got nothing to do with you"
I had a special evening all planned out Desperately determined to reignite Some spark between us She had to feel something for me A love as strong as ours Doesn't just go away You can't just turn it off Unless she was lying all those times But I don't think so I really don't think so The way she used to look at me Made me a thousand feet high The meaning of the word cool Not the same geek Who fumbled through his words that night The ugliest night
I said some pretty awkward things I got the feeling that she felt sorry for me I should have seen it was hopeless and left it alone But I had to go on embarrassing myself
"I miss what we had I need you so badly, I miss what we had I need you so badly"
I must have sounded pretty pathetic, I know That's why I don't blame her for what she said But listen to me rambling We don't know each other that well But you're so easy to talk to I feel like I can tell you almost anything I hope I haven't put you off I have a tendency to do that Why don't I just be quiet?

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through.
In that small cafe;
The park across the way;
The children's carousel;
The chestnut trees;
The wishin' well.
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day;
In every thing that's light and gay.
I'll always think of you that way.
I'll find you
In the morning sun
And when the night is new.
I'll be looking at the moon,
But I'll be seeing you.
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day;
In every thing that's light and gay.
I'll always think of you that way.
I'll find you
In the morning sun
And when the night is new.
I'll be looking at the moon,
But I'll be seeing you.
It's not necessarily a break-up as much as it is a parting song, but it works for some break-ups as well.
on my own from Les Miserables
And now I'm all alone again,
Nowhere to turn, no one to go to.
Without a home, without a friend,
Without a face to say hello to.
And now the night is near,
Now I can make believe he's here.
Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping.
I think of him, and then I'm happy
With the company I'm keeping.
The city goes to bed,
And I can live inside my head.
On my own,
Pretending he's beside me.
All alone,
I walk with him till morning.
Without him,
I feel his arms around me,
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me.
In the rain,
The pavement shines like silver.
All the lights
Are misty in the river.
In the darkness,
The trees are full of starlight,
And all I see is him and me for ever and forever.
And I know
It's only in my mind,
That I'm talking to myself
And not to him.
And although I know that he is blind,
Still I say,
There's a way for us.
I love him,
But when the night is over,
He is gone,
The river's just a river.
Without him,
The world around me changes.
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers.
I love him,
But every day I'm learning,
All my life,
I've only been pretending!
Without me,
His world will go on turning,
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known!
I love him...
I love him...
I love him...
But only on my own...

Pretty Pathetic by The Smoking Popes
You should have heard me sobbing
As I drove home that night
Got into bed and stayed there
For days I just laid there
Having been permanently changed
But we won't get into that now
Let's take it from the start
You should have seen me smiling
Like the world was mine
She used to call me baby
Softly, sometimes
But if I dwell on those days too long
I feel like my life is over
And that's no good
So let's move on
To the part where I begin to sense
Her distance
I panic and hold on tighter
But that makes it worse
How am I supposed to take it
When she said:
"This is something I'm going through,
It's got nothing to do with you"
I had a special evening all planned out
Desperately determined to reignite
Some spark between us
She had to feel something for me
A love as strong as ours
Doesn't just go away
You can't just turn it off
Unless she was lying all those times
But I don't think so
I really don't think so
The way she used to look at me
Made me a thousand feet high
The meaning of the word cool
Not the same geek
Who fumbled through his words that night
The ugliest night
I said some pretty awkward things
I got the feeling that she felt sorry for me
I should have seen it was hopeless and left it alone
But I had to go on embarrassing myself
"I miss what we had I need you so badly,
I miss what we had I need you so badly"
I must have sounded pretty pathetic, I know
That's why I don't blame her for what she said
But listen to me rambling
We don't know each other that well
But you're so easy to talk to
I feel like I can tell you almost anything
I hope I haven't put you off
I have a tendency to do that
Why don't I just be quiet?
