You said terrible, so…
Time For Me to Fly - REO Speedwagon
“I make you laugh, and you make me cry. I believe it’s time for me to fly”
A stronger performance, now with more Officer Judy!
I’d put my vote out for Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow and pictures
Declan
Yeah, I somehow changed it to “terrible heartbreak song” in my head too.
out of the Wayback machine: Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive.
I can’t believe this. You do not listen to Backstreet Boys when you’re wallowing in a breakup.
This is pretty awful, yup, but those pants make up for it.
Rita Coolidge - We’re All Alone
Last time I had a broken heart I played this one song over and over and it was fucking terrible. God I HATED that song, so I tortured myself endlessly with it. The melody is maudlin and the lyrics are bad 7th grade poetry. If I owned a gun I would have shot the stereo and then myself.
No link, for which you should probably be grateful:
I’m Not Lisa
Apparently Alex P. Keaton was living above you.
I was going to recommend “Goodnight Elisabeth” by The Counting Crows as a good song to listen to to make yourself feel bad about getting dumped, but apparently that’s not what the OP is about. So, nevermind.
“Freebird” by Lynyrd Skynyrd (I can’t hear the song without bawling)
“Time” by the Alan Parsons Project
:(:(:(
Eric Clapton’s version of “Further On Up The Road”
“The Way That I Love You” - Ashanti
*…but there it was, it was you and her,
you left your Sidekick on the nightstand
and I read everything you did and everything you said,
and now I’m standing here looking like, “damn”
I thought it was you and I
now all i have to say is “why?” *
Hot damn, that is bad, complete with product placement (next verse includes “You left your credit card receipts inside the Beemer”), but hell if I don’t pretend I’m not an awkward white girl and attempt to go all sassy Ashanti when I’m pissed-off and sad.
Ani DiFranco, Untouchable Face.
Nope, I don’t care what you say. When your boyfriend leaves you for a chick he marries two weeks later (and divorces two years and two kids after that), these lines are perfect/ terrible:
“tell you the truth i prefer
the worst of you
too bad you had to have a better half
she’s not really my type
but i think you two are forever
and i hate to say it but
you’re perfect together
so fuck you
and your untouchable face
and fuck you
for existing in the first place”
“Babe”, by Styx.
Back in 1980 my girlfriend broke up with me and broke my heart. She was my first love, and this was my first heartache. My whole chest ached. Babe by Styx was on the radio then. Even now when I hear that song, my heart hurts a little.
'*Cause I’ll be lonely without you
And I’ll need your love to see me through
Please believe me, my heart is in your hands
'Cause I’ll be missing you
Babe, I love you
Babe, I love you
Ooh, babe*

you’re killin’ me with recalling this.
But, 3 months later we were back together.
:smack:
“C’est la Vie” Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Kinda good tune, if you’re a big band style crooner as I am, but also kinda sappy - Music Maestro Please, a big hit in 1938. “Swing ooooout! - Tonight I must forget.”
Looking at the Rain – Gordon Lightfoot
John Denver’s I’m Sorry
Garth Brooks’ The Dance.
