Well this isn’t a breakup quote, but as I’ve been doing so much listening to, reading up and writing about cheating, I thought it was appropriate (didn’t include the forgive him bit – as that as definitely not a given!):

Sometimes its hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You’ll have bad times
And he’ll have good times
Doing things that you don’t understand

This is a great breakup song by Kylie Minogue, about the dark side of breaking up with a control freak or narcissist.

Obsession: Kylie Minogue

You don’t need love
It’s a question of obsession
So drawn to your own reflection
You want someone
Like a personal possession
To shine light on your perfection

Call me up a thousand times
You’re hanging on the line
Waiting for me to react
But we’ve been here before
And when I closed the door
I never wanted a second act

I saw it all clearly
But you didn’t hear me
Thought our love was centre stage
But now that’s all gone for us
And you are dangerous

And I can’t help that

You can see the full song lyrics here and if you are interested in Obsession, it’s on the Body Language album.

I’ve started looking for songs about breakups.  One breakup tip I recommend is to make your own DJ Downer Playlist when you have broken up, include songs that make you angry, sad or help you to pour out your frustration.  One of the ways we get over a relationship is to see other people’s interpretation of their breakups in their art – writing, songs, poetry, paintings.  It is a way we connect with a common human condition.

Snow Patrol’s song ‘You Could Be Happy’ is a beautiful small song, from their album Eyes Open – it is about thinking of the breakup after it happens with regret:

Do the things you’ve always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back; don’t think, just do.

More than anything I want to see you, girl

Take a glorious bite out of the whole world.

I was looking through lyrics.com for songs about breakups.  One breakup tip I recommend is to make your own DJ Downer Playlist when you have broken up, include songs that make you angry, sad or help you to pour out your frustration.  One of the ways we get over a relationship is to see other people’s interpretation of their breakups in their art – writing, songs, poetry, paintings.  It is a way we connect with a common human condition.

No Doubt’s song ‘Don’t Speak’, from their album Tragic Kingdom, definitely is one of the songs to include – it is about that breakup conversation, when you really want him to stop speaking, you don’t want to hear him breaking up with you:

It looks as though you are letting go,

And if it’s real,

Then I don’t want to know.

Don’t speak,

I know just what you’re say,

So please just stop explaining,

Don’t tell me ’cause it hurts

The full lyrics to Don’t Speak are here and you might also be interested in the sad breakup quotes that I post on a Friday.
