"Love Ridden"

Love ridden, I've looked at you
With the focus I gave to my birthday candles
I've wished on the lidded blue flames
Under your brow
And baby, I wished for you
Nobody sees when you are lying in your bed
And I wanna crawl in with you
But I cry instead
I want your warm, but it will only make
Me colder when it's over,
So I can't tonight, baby
No, not "baby" anymore - if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave
My hand won't hold you down no more
The path is clear to follow through
I stood too long in the way of the door
And now I'm giving up on you
No, not "baby" anymore- if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave
No, not "baby" anymore- if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave

These are the lyrics to one of the best break up songs in the world. She happened to play in a sad playlist at work today. I replayed it twice and then found the lyrics, love sucks!! What are some of your favorite break up songs?

After Mark in San Diego cheated on me while we were on tour doing Selena Forever, I played this album and this song all the time!!! i LOVE it. it takes me back to a bad place just reading the lyrics here. Another great breakup song: "God, Give Me Strength" by Elvis Costello. I love the line, "I want him to hurt...". I DO, I REALLY do!
