ozma - no one needs to know



no one needs to know
one needs to know if a lover's being faithful
one needs to know if a lover's being true
one needs to know if a lover's being faithful
and i'm being faithful to you

i don't know what you're thinking we should do
i don't know if the words you say are true
but let me tell you this for sure...
the things we're doing just aren't pure and no one needs to know but me and you

you don't know all the things she put me through
you don't know if the words i say are true
but let me tell you this tonight...
the things we're doing just aren't right and no one needs to know but me and you

no one needs to know

Nerf Herder: Sorry

Sorry we broke up, sorry I missed you
Sorry I wanted only to kiss you
Sorry I promised to love you forever
Made you feel guilty oh when you left me
Sorry I showed up at your party
Sorry I drank up all the Bacardi
Sorry I puked up on your bedspread
Sorry I wanted to be your boyfriend again

What can I do?
It's over it's over it's over it's over
What can I do?
I am the loser

Sorry I saw you and I heard birds sing
Sorry I touched you and I heard bells ring
Sorry I jacked off outside of your window
While you were sleeping, I thought you'd never know
Sorry I showed up at your wedding
Sorry I tried so hard to get in
Sorry I screwed up your picture
Sorry I had sex with your sister

What can I do?
It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over
What can I do?
I am the loser

Sorry we broke up, sorry I missed you
Sorry I wanted only to kiss you
Sorry I promised to love you forever
Made you feel guilty oh when you left me
Sorry I showed up at your dinner
Sorry I said those things to your father
Sorry I crashed through your window on acid
Sorry I made a mess
Sorry I bled to death

What can I do?
It's over it's over it's over it's over
What can I do?
I am the loser

I will also second (and third) the Alkaline Trio recommendations. :)

Also, Azwethinkweiz mentioned Reel Big Fish's "All I Want Is More." Yes, that's an excellent song, as well as the track after it, "Nothin'." Be sure to listen to Reel Big Fish's album Cheer Up, as there a few good brakeup-type songs on it, especially "Where Have You Been?" and "Valerie"; the latter was absolutely spot-on for me.


I was actually gonna recommend "Where have you been" as well, but I figured I'd go for one song per band.
 
Oh man, when I was in line eariler at the In-N-Out drive-thru, I saw the motherfucker that my ex cheated on me with behind me in his shitty prerunner truck. I so wanted to just put the car in park and step out and rip the guy out of his truck and start BEATING THE LIVING FUCK OUT OF HIM. And then I realized it wouldn't be worth it, even though the guy is a fucking twig that I could easily snap in half. So I came home and started rocking out to some hardcore and metal. I think I'm better now. It's been pretty much a year and I still have extreme hatred and evil in me. Scares me sometimes.

you guys suck at music.

sage francis - rewrite.
the greatest breakup song ever.
this was my theme song to my breakup

This is to the woman who I loved but lost
Intertwine souls of the universe
Got divorced when it wasn't forced
Cause single thoughts of being double-crossed
Till there's no love lost
I can't even start this

She said forever..
This is the rewrite.. this is the rewrite
Yo, check it out!

This to the woman who I used to respect
Now I call her a bitch cause I'm constantly upset
So this is to the +bitch+ who cut communication
Caught in a relation
Selfishness? Best in the nation
All I ever needed was a hug
To wrap my loving arms around you, you blew it off at a shrug
So all I ever wanted was a hand to hold
I ain't the man to scold
Your plan is cold but god damn its old
It's about time get inside of my head while I'm out my mind
As I scream cry yell shout and whine
All I ever asked for
Was an ear to hear me
What you really have to wear a mask for?
You straight shattered my glass jaw
Now I'm picking up the pieces of my past that you last saw
But see this, needless to say, you went astray
And all people ever earful say is
I don't give a damn, for real, I don't care
Let's pull the hair from myself and try to make things clear
Yeah, I don't give a FUCK for real I don't FUCKING CARE
That's all I hear..

The pain stops with the end of raindrops
But this cloudy weather just reminds me of the time we spent together
And how you left forever like that with a snap of fingers
Pain lingers, so this is to the
Woman who I made my family
Now I call her a bitch just to save my sanity
So this is to that +bitch+ who I thought would be right here
She's just a monster in my reoccurring nightmare
Now when my grandfather died, you weren't there for me
When my grandmama died, you weren't there for me
When my natural dad died, you weren't there for me
You saw me and just ignored me like "Sorry end of the story"
My family's dropping like flies ???
But nobody's by my side, can't look straight into my eye
Nobody's by my side, can't look straight into my eyes
My fist grabs air, I stare in through the lies
I never felt more lonely, I made you the one and only
Individual to know me this is the thing that you showed me
I never felt more lonely, I made you the one and only
Individual to know me, never thought that you'd turn phony
But you did, now I'm going all out kid
And I got mad hate to deal with
Just ask ???
I'm having trouble at anyone that tries to get close to me
And that's a major problem because that's not the way it's supposed to be
Supposedly, I should keep my composure
Right now, I'm like "wow", it's time for me to seek closure
Mental pictures are destroyed - overexposure
Ever get that feeling that nobody really knows ya?
This is to the woman who I called my best friend
Now I call her bitch, because she made the switch to that +bitch+
Who I shouldn't disrespect
So now I call her woman just to keep myself in check
This is the rewrite..

+100,000 pts for a Sage Francis mention. Sage Francis is absolutely stunning.

Rich Hardesty - "Never Wanna See You Again" my first thought.

And the entire The Postal Service - Give Up CD.

I cannot fathom why any of you didn't mention the King of getting of bitches after a break up. The one and only Too $hort. You only need one song and thats Bitches ain't shit. Trust me, you'll get over chick really quick lol.

Agree with teh 2 Short.

Go old school bitterness and recrimination with "Idiot Wind" or "Positively Fourth Street" by Bob Dylan.

"Baby Bitch" by Ween was my anthem for about a year. It's pretty much perfect, and wonderful to sing along with ("baby, baby, baby bitch / fuck you, you stinkin' ass ho"). Lots of Ween songs would actually work. Their last record has a couple that are really, really good. So check out "Birthday Boy," "I Don't Want It," "If You Could Save Yourself (You'd Save Us All)," and "Falling Out."

The Meadowlands by The Wrens is incredible when you first hear it with a broken heart. The songs "Happy" and "Hopeless" are so fucking perfect breakup songs. The whole disc, in fact, is great, but those two in particular are hot hot action.

If you're just angry and want to break something, listen to some Big Black or Drive Like Jehu.

"So Happy" by The Planet Smashers

Did you ever wonder what happened
To all the money that you went through?
Have you ever wondered what happened
When she left you all alone on the phone in your bedroom crying?
Ever written cheesy poetry,
Bought teddy bears or jewelry,
Said things you saw on
Days Of Our Lives,
Knowin' full and well that they were just lies... (But now I realize)
I'm so happy without you,
I'm so happy without you,
All my friends are happy too,
Knowing that I'm happy without you
Did you ever not wanted to talk,
Discuss your feelings or what you thought?
Just go out and drink with the guys,
And not have to come home to those evil eyes.
Have you ever wanted to be alone
And get a good night's sleep when you come home?
When she calls you have to pretend that
You're not laughing when you hear her crying... (And now I realize)


lol

Based on your recommendation, I picked this up. Holy shit, is that album some kind of amazing. Ten bucks incredibly well spent, highly recommended to everyone else in sight, etc, etc, etc.
