"Happy" Break Up Songs??

[Marblez]

Help me get songs like Love Hurts of my mind. Help convince me that it is for the best. The only "positive" break up song that I know of is "Bye Bye" by JoDee Messina. It explains much of what I am feeling, but I need more. I have played that song so much in my head, it just doesn't work for me anymore.

.......................................

Bye Bye

Boy you sure look good there standin' in the doorway in the sunset light

Maybe I read you wrong thinkin' you could be my Mr. Right

I was puttin' my heart and soul on the line

Said you needed some time, just a little more time to make up your mind

Well it's been long enough

Time is up

Bye bye love, I'll catch you later

Got a lead foot down on my accelerator and the rearview mirror torn off

I ain't never lookin' back. And that's a fact.

I've tried all I can imagine

I've begged and pleaded in true lover's fashion

I've got pride, I'm takin' it for a ride

Bye bye, bye bye my baby, bye bye

Don't think all those tears are gonna hold me here like they've done before

You'll find what's left of us in a cloud of dust on highway 4

Baby what did you expect me to do

Just sit around and wait on you

Well I'm through watchin' you just skate around the truth

And I know it sounds trite

I've seen the light

Bye bye love, I'll catch you later

Got a lead foot down on my accelerator and the rearview mirror torn off

'Cause I ain't never lookin' back, and that's a fact.

I've tried all I can imagine

I've begged and pleaded in true lover's fashion

I've got pride, I'm takin' it for a ride

Bye bye, bye bye my baby, bye bye

I'd lost the game I guess

I did my best to win the part

Now I'm leavin' here with what's left of my heart.

Bye bye, I'll catch you later

Got a lead foot down on my accelerator and the rearview mirror torn off

'Cause I ain't never lookin' back.

You can count on that.

I've tried all I can imagine

I've begged and pleaded in true lover's fashion

I've got pride, I'm takin' it for a ride

Bye bye, bye bye my baby, bye bye

Bye bye

Ooh baby

Oh oh

Bye bye, bye bye my baby, bye bye

I love "Bitch" by Apoptygma Berzerk.

I don't know all the words but the chorus goes

Bitch! You know I tried, but now I'd rather die

Than be with you again

I always tried, but now I've realized

I won't go through this again

I highly recommend it.

[Guest Game of Chance]

I don't know if these are happy. OK, they definitely are not. But since we're on topic, these two Postal Service songs pretty much sum up the break up between me and my ex....

"The District Sleeps Alone Tonight"

Smeared black ink... your palms are sweaty

And I'm barely listening to last demands

I'm staring at the asphalt wondering what's buried underneath

Where I am

Where I am

I'll wear my badge... a vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest

That tells your new friends I am a visitor here...

I am not permanent

And the only thing keeping me dry is

Where I am

Where I am

Where I am

You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex

A stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting

And I am finally seeing

Why I was the one worth leaving

Why I was the one worth leaving

D.C. sleeps alone tonight

Where I am

Where I am

Where I am

You seem so so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex

A stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting

And I am finally seing

Why I was the one worth leaving

Why I was the one worth leaving

Where I am

Where I am

Where I am

The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights

And send the autos swerving into the loneliest evening

And I am finally seeing

Why I was the one worth leaving

Why I was the one worth leaving

Why I was the one worth leaving

Why I was the one worth leaving

"Nothing Better"

Him:

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

Her:

I feel I 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

Him:

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

Oh, oh

Tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better

Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together

Her:

Don't you feed me lines about some idealistic future

Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures

Him:

I admit that i have made mistakes and i swear

I'll never wrong you again

Her:

You've got a lure i can't deny,

But you've had your chance so say goodbye

Say goodbye

Here's a better one...

Song for the Dumped

by Ben Folds and Darren Jessee

So you wanted to take a break

Slow it down some and have some space

Well fuck you too!

Give me my money back

Give me my money back, you bitch

I want my money back

Wish I hadn't bought you dinner

Right before you dumped me on your front porch

Give me my money back

Give me my money back, you bitch

I want my money back

... and don't forget my black T-shirt

.....

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes, thats much better.

[Guest Game of Chance]

I'll try to think of some more

[JaneDead]

sorry but when i think of break up/"ex" songs i always think of this one:

She's my ex. I can't cross her from my memory

She meant everything to me she meant every word she said

When she said, "I'll never love again. Be my ex until the end."

And I know I'll never feel that way again

She's just my ex

She's my ex. She marks the spot where I'm the weakest one

I can't expect she'll change her ways; can't accept the things she's done

She's just my ex. Nothing more nothing less but she'll always be my ex

She's my ex. Don't cross her path she still belongs to me

She'll be my ex till I say when till I get her back again

'Cause I know I'll never love again. Never need another friend

And I know I'll never feel this way again

She's my ex. She'll cross my mind a thousand times today

Still have a million things to say, guess I'm better off this way

Cause I know she'll never love again. She

she'll be my ex until the end

And I know I'll never feel this way again

She's just my ex. Nothing more nothing less but she's still my ex

And I could never kiss that face goodbye

But I could never stop to wonder why

She looks so pretty, she looks so pretty

And I know I'll never feel this way again

She's just my ex

[Onyx]

This one is sorta kinda a happy breakup song

Yay Whitney.

I Will Always Love You

If I

Should stay

I would only be in your way

So I'll go

But I know

I'll think of you every step of

the way

And I...

Will always

Love you, oohh

Will always

Love you

You

My darling you

Bittersweet

Memories

That is all I'm taking with me

So good-bye

Please don't cry

We both know I'm not what you

You need

And I...

Will always love you

I...

Will always love you

I hope

life treats you kind

And I hope

you have all you've dreamed of

And I wish you joy

and happiness

But above all this

I wish you love

And I...

Will always love you

I...

Will always love you

[Head Wreck]

theres a 10 second punk song somewhere that has one line.

HA i gave you crabs.

if i could only remember who did it

[phee]

Gotta love ICP

Another Love Song:

Yeah...

I mean I hear what you're saying, I mean

You got carried away in the moment

And I could forgive you

I could do that

I could do anything, if I want to

[1st Verse- Violent J]

I could buy you a Lexus truck with a white leather interior

I could kill off some bears and dogs and shit just to make you a fur coat

I could love you and treat you with class

And have babies falling all out your ass

But thinking about that...

I feel I'd rather kill you

('Cuz I got you in my car, and you ain't going nowhere bitch, you're dead)

[Chorus x2- Violent J]

I'd rather cut that neck in half

I'd rather choke out that bitch-ass

I'd rather chop and never stop

Because you fucked my homies

[2nd Verse - Violent J]

I could take all the face paint off and get a real job working for your dad

I would rather take a ten-pound axe and stick it in your daddy's forehead

I could let you move into my house

You'd fuck the neighbor every time I'd go out

And wipe his nut on my pillow (oh)

But I think I'd rather kill you

('Cuz we parked all alone and it's real dark anyway, hey)

[Chorus]

[3rd Verse]

I'm the one that killed your precious cat, and stuffed him in your fucking

mailbox

If I only hadn't cut off my hair, I'd choke you with all my dreadlocks

When I scream at the moon every night (Heh heh!)

You shouldv'e known something just ain't right

'Cuz I'm gonna slap you

And the I'm going to kill you

('Cuz the moon told me to, and it's watching us right now)

[Chorus]

[4th Verse]

I could go back to school instead and try to get my diploma

I'd much rather bang your head on the wall, until you fall into a coma

'Cuz I can't get you out of my head

I'd cut my head off but the I would be dead

And I ain't the only motherfucker that's dying!

So let's just die togetherrrrrraaaaaagghhh!!!

[Chorus x4]

Ahhh!! Let's just die together

Ahhh, yeah!! Let's just die together

Me and you, I'll kill you but, can you explain?

Let's just die together

Wicked clown told you, I'm gonna kill you

And tonight we'll die together

[Mikielikesit]

I use to love her....GUNS and ROSES

[Scary Guy]

if i could only remember who did it

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'd almost put money on it that was by Anal Cunt, it's just their style.

I kind of remember one I liked on the radio but can't remember anything except "bear" either in the title of the song or the band name.

Also there are no happy break up songs IMO because there are no happy break ups. You're either pissed off that they broke up with you or you're so pissed off at them that you broke up with them. Either way it ends up with you being pissed off.

[Brenda Starrr]

There was a song from a really bad 80's movie that went something like this:

You've broken my heart

You've torn it apart

So fuck you

I just wish that I could remember who did it and the rest of the song.

I Used to Love Her. But I Had to Kill Her - Guns N Roses

"You Don't Love Me Anymore"

Wierd Al Yankovic

We've been together for so very long

But now things are changing, oh I wonder what's wrong?

Seems you don't want me around

The passion is gone and the flame's died down

I guess I lost a little bit of self-esteem

That time that you made it with the whole hockey team

You used to think I was nice

Now you tell all your friends that I'm the Antichrist

Oh, why did you disconnect the breaks in my car?

That kind of thing is hard to ignore

Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore

I knew that we were having problems when

You put those piranhas in my bathtub again

You're still the light of my life

Oh darling, I'm beggin', won't you put down that knife?

You know, I even think it's kinda cute the way

You poison my coffee just a little each day

I still remember the way that you laughed

When you pushed me down that elevator shaft

Oh, if you don't mind me asking, what's this poisonous cobra

Doing in my underwear drawer?

Sometime I get to thinking you don't love me any more

You slammed my face down on the barbecue grill

Now my scars are all healing, but my heart never will

You set my house on fire

You pulled out my chest hairs with an old pair of pliers

Oh, you think that I'm ugly and you say that I'm cheap

You shaved off my eyebrows while I was asleep

You drilled a hole in my head

Then you dumped me in a drainage ditch and left me for dead

Oh, you know this really isn't like you at all

You never acted this way before

Honey, something tells me you don't love me any more, oh no no

Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore

[Goth Brooks]

More Weird Al

Since you've been gone

Well I feel like I've been chewing on tinfoil

Since you been gone

It's like I got a great big mouthful of cod-liver oil

Well, I'm feeling like I stuck my hand inside a blender and turned it on

You know I've been in a bundle of pain

Since you've been gone

(Well, since you've been gone, since you've been gone)

I couldn't feel worse if you dropped a 2 ton bowling ball on my toes

(Since you've been gone)

It couldn't hurt any more if you shoved a red hot cactus up my nose

Since you've been gone

Well, it feels like I'm gettin' tetanus shots every day

Since you've been gone

It's like I got an ice cream panic that won't go away

Ever since the day you left me

I've been so miserable my dear

I feel almost as bad as I did

When you were still here.

I don't know any happy break up songs.. all the ones I listen to remind me how much I miss her and want her back..

[ZhukovCodeslinger]

i had somthing funny and quite pertinant in mind but forgot it by the time i was done reading everyone elses posts... oh well.
