Dry Your Eyes by The Streets \*So then I move my hand up from down by my side It’s shakin’, my life is crashin’ before my eyes Turn the palm of my hand up to face the skies Touch the bottom of her chin and let out a sigh ‘Cause I can’t imagine my life without you and me There’s things I can’t imagine doin’, things I can’t imagine seein’ It weren’t supposed to be easy, surely Please, please, I beg you please She brings her hands up towards where my hands rested She wraps her fingers round mine with the softness she’s blessed with She peels away my fingers, looks at me and then gestures By pushin’ my hand away to my chest, from hers \* ---

I kinda like Rilo Kiley’s _Breakin’ up_; only problem is it’s from the perspective of a woman breaking up with a man: \*revenge is the saddest thing honey, i’m afraid to say you deserve everything am i breaking up? are we breaking up? is there trouble between the lines? did your heart break enough? did it break enough this time? ooh it feels good to be free ooh it feels good to be free ooh it feels good to be free\* [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ultimate-breakup-cd-need-answers-fast/467965.md?page=2)
