Saddest breaking up song?

[Clawdy]

Listened to Roy Orbison's "Crying" this morning, such a sad breakup song. What's your favourite breakup song, one that really gets to your heart?

@MissConductUS

I'm shocked no one has mentioned this one yet.

I came on to say this song but I prefer the George Michael version.

Agree, @MissConductUS, but for me George Michael’s cover:

And ‘Say Hello, Wave Goodbye’by Soft Cell.

Crossed, @marriednotdead! 😂

Good Year for the Roses - Elvis Costello and the Attractions.

Oh also I can't make you love me -again George Michael 😭

Forgive me it's been a long time since I've heard it but didn't realise To the End was a break up song?

Yes to A Good Year for the Roses.

Make it Easy on Yourself - The Walker Brothers
You were Always on my Mind - Willie Nelson or Elvis
The End of the World - Skeeter David
I have Nothing - Whitney Houston

Big Girls Don’t Cry - Fergie

Just remembered sobbing my heart out in the garden to Queen Of My Heart by Westlife as a teenager as well.

Also Last Request - Paolo Nutini

Tell Me on a Sunday

That’s No Way to Say Goodbye. Leonard Cohen
It was played at my friend’s funeral.

Jessica Simpson, who dated John Mayer on and off (due to him repeatedly breaking up with her) said that he told her he liked to cause her pain so that he could write good material - horrible man.

Don't Leave Me This Way - Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes
Sens Una Donna - Zucchero & Paul Young
Run Back - Carl Douglas

[/quote] I had never heard his cover of the song. Thank you, it's really lovely.

Edge of Desire by John Mayer - in fact all of John Mayer!

☺️ @MissConductUS, so beautiful. I’ve got it on repeat now...

What an utter creep. Abusive creep.

Against All Odds - Phil Collins
Special - Garbage
You Look So Fine - Garbage
Set Fire to The Rain - Adele
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
I Can’t Make You Love Me - George Michael
Waiting for that Day - George Michael

Sorry seems to be the hardest word - Elton John.

So sad, 'what do I do when lightening strikes me, and I wake to find that you're not there....'

Also second Phil Collins, 'Against the Odds'

Oh yes Adele, all I ask ... hold me like I’m more than just a friend

My first heartbreak when I was 16 ... george Michael, careless whisper. I remember playing the 7” single on my record player and crying all weekend. The summer of 1984.

@HerBigChance

Another Sinead one - 'Last Day of our Acquaintance', manages to be clinical and beautiful by turns.

And from a man's point of view: Bill Withers 'Hope She'll be Happier with Him' - Live from Carnegie Hall. Incredible track.

I used to play Last Day of our Acquaintance when I went no contact with my mother.

Sorry seems to be the hardest word - Elton John

Also, It's too late - Carole King - 'something inside just died and I can't hide and I just can't fake it'.

I think the words from Phil Collins song "And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what I've got to face" are a real kicker if you've split with someone.
