I'm a music junkie and I've been listening to a lot of music to help me through this tough time, but I was wondering, what are some good "I'm over you" or "Break-up" songs?
Here's some that I can think of off the top of my head:
Motley Crue: Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away) Poison: Every Rose Has It's Thorn Bon Jovi: You Give Love A Bad Name Alice Cooper: Poison Whitesnake: Here I Go Again (On My Own) Scorpions: Winds of Change Cinderella: Don't Know What What You Got (Til It's Gone) AC-DC: Shot Down In Flames Montgomery Gentry: I Got Drunk Montgomery Gentry: She Couldn't Change Me Montgomery Gentry: Gone Rammstein: Mein Herz Brennt Korn: Let's Do This Now Limp Bizkit: Boiler Metallica: Don't Tread on Me Metallica: St. Anger Hank Williams Jr: You're Gonna Change or I'm Gonna Leave Montgomery Gentry: I Ain't Got It All That Bad Bloodhoung Gang: I Hope You Die Godsmack: Whatever Godsmack: I Hate You Nickelback: Figured You Out Nickelback: Flat On The Floor Nickelback: Yanking Out My Heart Linkin Park: Numb Linkin Park: Pushing You Away Rob Thomas: I Don't Want To Be Lonely Audioslave: Your Time Is Gonna Come Cold: Stupid Girl Creed: My Sacrifice Everlast: Ends Everlast: What It's Like Nashville [censored]: Go to ****** Tommy Lee: Hold Me Down Tom Petty: I Won't Back Down Ugly Kid Joe: I Hate Everything About You Travis Tritt: Here's A Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares) Johnny Cash: God's Gonna Cut You Down Brad Paisely: I'm Gonna Miss Her Yankee Grey: All Things Considered Waylon Jennings: Can't You See (What This Woman Is Doing) Trick Pony: Ain't Wastin' Whiskey On You Rodney Atkins: Wasted Whiskey Rodney Atkins: If You're Going Through ****** (Just Keep On Goin') Trent Tomlinson: The Next Time JoDee Messina: My Give A Damn's Busted Toby Keith: A Little Too Late Confederate Railroad: She Never Cried George Jones: Cold Hard Truth Hank Williams III: My Drinkin' Problem (Left Today)
These are the one's that I can think of off the top of my head. Give me some more time and I'll have a list about twice as long.
But what are some of other peoples' favorite songs that help them get through hard cheatin' times? This is something that we could benefit from...
Rebel Meets Rebel: Get Outta My Life Three Days Grace: I Hate Everything About You Bloodhound Gang: No Hard Feelings Static-X: I'm With Stupid Static-X: Love Dump Sevendust: (Female Dog) Sevendust: Enemy Suicidal Tendencies: You Can't Bring Me Down Twisted Sister: We're Not Gonna Take It Ray Scott: My Kind of Music Ray Scott: You're Gone Either Way
Just to name a few more....

"Common sense is an uncommon virtue" - Me
You make me weep And wanna die Just when you Said we'd try Lovin', touchin', squeezin' Each other
When I'm alone All by myself You're out With someone else Lovin', touchin', squeezin' Each other
You're tearin' me apart Every, every day You're tearin' me apart Oh, what can I say You're tearin' me apart
It won't be long, yes Until you're alone When your lover Oh, he hasn't come home 'Cause he's lovin' Ooh, he's touchin' He's squeezin' Another
He's tearin' you apart Ooh every, every day He's tearin' you apart Oh girl, what can you say 'Cause he's lovin', touchin' another Now it's your turn, girl, to cry
Na na na na na na Na na na na na Na na na na na Na na na na na na
[color:"red"] the thruth is...i tell myself I'll be alright....but i still love him[/color]
[color:"blue"] I'll be alright without you [/color]
I've been thinkin' about the times You walked out on me There were moments I'd believe You were there Do I miss you Or am I lying to myself again
I do these things (It's all because of you) I keep holding on, but I'll try (Try not to think of you) Love, don't leave me lonely
I'll be alright without you There'll be someone else I keep telling myself I'll be alright without you Oh, love's an empty face I can't replace (You don't need it)
People wonderin' Why we broke apart Now, great pretender Here I go again
These things I do (It's all because of you) I'll keep holding on But I'll try (Try not to think of you) All I wanted was to hold you
I'll be alright without you There'll be someone else I keep telling myself I'll be alright without you Oh, love's an empty face Oh, I got to replace
I'll be alright without you There'll be someone else I keep telling myself I'll be alright without you Oh, love's an empty place I can still see your face

Sheryl Crow - My Favorite Mistake I woke up and called this morning, the tone of your voice was a warning that you don't care for me anymore.
I made up the bed we sleep in. I looked at the clock when you creep in. It's 6 AM and I'm alone.
Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending, to the bad day I was just beginning. When you go, all I know is you're my favorite mistake.
Your friends act sorry for me. They watch you pretend to adore me. But I am no fool to this game.
Now here comes your secret lover, she'll be unlike any other, until your guilt goes up in flames.
Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending, to the bad day I'd gotten used to spending. When you go, all I know is you're my favorite mistake You're my favorite mistake.
Well maybe nothing lasts forever, even when you stay together. I don't need forever after, but it's your laughter won't let me go so I'm holding on this way.
Did you know could you tell you were the only one that I ever loved? Now everything's so wrong. Did you see me walking by, did it ever make you cry? Now you're my favorite mistake Yeah you're my favorite mistake You're my favorite mistake
Your Time is Gonna Come-Led Zeppelin Lyin', cheatin', hurtin, that's all you seem to do. Messin' around with every guy in town, Puttin' me down for thinkin' of someone new. Always the same, playin' your game, Drive me insane, trouble is gonna come to you, One of these days and it won't be long, You'll look for me but baby, I'll be gone. This is all I gotta say to you woman:
Your Time Is Gonna Come Your Time Is Gonna Come Your Time Is Gonna Come Your Time Is Gonna Come
Made up my mind to break you this time, Won't be so fine, it's my turn to cry. Do what you want, I won't take the brunt. It's fadin' away, can't feel you anymore. Don't care what you say 'cause I'm goin' away to stay, Gonna make you pay for that great big hole in my heart. People talkin' all around, Watch out woman, no longer Is the joke gonna be on my heart. You been bad to me woman, But it's coming back home to you.
Your Time Is Gonna Come Your Time Is Gonna Come...
Korn - Alone I Break Pick me up Been bleeding too long Right here, right now I'll stop it somehow
I will make it go away Can't be here no more Seems this is the only way I will soon be gone These feelings will be gone These feelings will be gone
Now I see the times they change Leaving us, it seems so strange I am hoping I can find Where to leave my hurt behind All the ****** I seem to take All alone I seem to break I have lived the best I can Does this make me not a man?
Shut me off I'm ready Heart stops I stand alone Can't be on my own
I will make it go away Can't be here no more Seems this is the only way I will soon be gone These feelings will be gone These feelings will be gone
Now I see the times they change Leaving us, it seems so strange I am hoping I can find Where to leave my hurt behind All the ****** I seem to take All alone I seem to break I have lived the best I can Does this make me not a man?
Am I going to leave this place? What is it I'm running from? Is there nothing more to come? (Am I gonna leave this place?) Is it always black in space? Am I going take its place? Am I going to leave this race? (Am I going to leave this race?) I guess God's up in this place? What is it that I've become? Is there something more to come? (More to come)
Now I see the times they change Leaving us, it seems so strange I am hoping I can find Where to leave my hurt behind All the ****** I seem to take All alone I seem to break I have lived the best I can Does this make me not a man?
Sarah McLachlan - Plenty I looked into your eyes They told me plenty I already knew You never felt a thing So soon forgotten all that you do In more than words i Tried to tell you The more I tried I failed
I would not let myself believe That you might stray And I would stand by you No matter what they’d say, I would have thought I’d be with you Until my dying day Until my dying day
I used to think my life Was often empty A lonely space to fill You hurt me more than I ever would have imagined You made my world stand still And in that stillness There was a freedom I never felt before
I would not let myself believe That you might stray And I would stand by you No matter what they’d say, I would have thought I’d be with you Until my dying day Until my dying day
Mad Season - Above Wake up young man, it's time to wake up Your love affair has got to go For 10 long years, for 10 long years The leaves to rake up Slow suicide's no way to go, oh Blue, clouded grey You're not a crack up Dizzy and weakened by the haze Moving onward So an infection not a phase Yeah, oh
The cracks and lines from where you gave up They make an easy man to read, oh For all the times you let them bleed you For little peace from God you plead, and beg For little peace from God you plead Ahhaahh, Yeah, Ahhaahh, Yeah, Ahhaahh, Yeah
Wake up young man, wake up, wake up Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up Oh, yeah
Wake up young man, it's time to wake up Your love affair has got to go, yeah For 10 long years, for 10 long years, The leaves to rake up Slow suicide's no way to go, oh Slow suicide's no way to go Wake up, wake up, wake up Wake up, wake up, wake up

"You're not the Man" Sade
You're not the man who gave me everything I've ever wanted You're not the man Who stepped inside my life And haunted every, every day
You're not the man Who said he'd never leave Couldn't breathe And could not sleep without me
This was someone who you left behind A long time ago
You're not the man Who would bleed for me But never shed a tear You're not the one Said he'd always be near
You're not the man Who threw me a lifeline And you're not the man I am so proud to call mine
And you're not the one Who said he'd never leave The one who made me believe in me That was someone who could do no wrong But you lost him
You're not the man Who would bleed for me But never shed a tear You're not the one Who said he'd always, always, always be here said he'd always always be near
But don't get me wrong Although it seems sad It's not all bad You see I'm not the little girl I use to be
You're not the man Not the one Who said he'd always, always, always be near
He was everything you see He made me believe in me Said he'd alway always always be here

My WW heard Beyonce song " irreplacable" and said " I know that you can replace me in a minute if you want to, so when you are ready just let me know" LOL
You made me laugh some You made me cry some too You sent me off into a world of pain And made me someone new You made all kinds of promises But only some came true Now I know you need me more than I need you
[CHORUS] To think I used to love you For reasons I don't know You polished up my halo And I dirtied up your soul I sure had a good time But we both know I can't stay To think I used to love you but I'm leaving anyway
You know I'm not perfect And I tried to make you see Somehow you though of everything But you didn't think about me Lies and disappointment Makes your world go round It's to late save me so you might as well come down

"Integrity is not a conditional word. It doesn't blow in the wind or change with the weather. It is your inner image of yourself, and if you look in there and see a man who won't cheat, then you know he never will." - John Macdonald
