This sums up how I feel most days and how cold my WS acted about the gift of R I gave him. I gives me chills each time I listen to it.

"The Path Of Thorns" Sarah McLachlan

I knew you wanted to tell me

In your voice there was something wrong

But if you would turn your face away from me

You cannot tell me you're so strong

Just let me ask of you one small thing

As we have shared so many tears

With fervor our dreams we planned a whole life long

Now are scattered on the wind...

In the terms of endearment

In the terms of the life that you love

In the terms of the years that pass you by

In the terms of the reasons why

Through the years I've grown to love you

Though your commitment to most would offend

But I stuck by you holding on with my foolish pride

Waiting for you to give in...

You never really tried or so it seems

I've had more than myself to blame

I've had enough of trying everything

And this time it is the end...

There's no more coming back this way

The path is overgrown and strewn with thorns

They've torn the life-blood from your naked eyes

Cast aside to be forlorn...

Funny, how it seems that all I've tried to do

Seemed to make no difference to you at all...

You Were Mine

Dixie Chicks

I can give you two good reasons

To show you loves not blind

He's two and she's four and, you know

They adore you

So how can I tell them you've changed your mind?

Sometimes I wake up crying at night

And sometimes I scream out your name

What right does she have to steal your heart away

When for so long you were mine

I remember when you were mine

Tears me up every time.

I know this is an old thread but I have had it bookmarked and come back to it numerous times, and wanted to add a few songs I've found recently.

Catch My Breath - Kelly Clarkson

(really helpful when I'm feeling guilty over wanting to D)

Starts With Goodbye - Carrie Underwood

Let Him Fly - Patty Griffin

Say Something - A Great Big World

For a while, post D-Day, I wasn't able to listen to one of my favorite bands from the last couple years, Mumford and Sons, since so many of their songs hit too close to the mark.

As a BS:

I Gave You All (http://youtu.be/00dcKqc5H-A)

The Cave (http://youtu.be/3KkUeRPjc-Y)

As a WS:

Roll Away Your Stone (http://youtu.be/2O-BwV0DDUY)

Little Lion Man (NSFW lyrics) (http://youtu.be/lLJf9qJHR3E)

Sigh No More (http://youtu.be/ujv3c0TqLRk)

Really I'm convinced the whole album is written to various relationships that went wrong.

Her - FWW 38

Oh my! my DD, BFF & I loved break up songs during the A... There were some that seemed to empower me, & others that made me fall to my knees crying..

My fall to the knees crying songs ( so sorry if they've been posted in this thread, I think I read most of what was posted)

Break Even- The Script which seems to be a popular one here on SI

Jennifer Nettles- Stay.. Yes, I know it was written as an OW perspective but it can be for a BS as well

My DD's break up song that she can NOT listen to without crying ( Surprisingly it's MY favorite artist)

This Time- Donny Osmond- http://youtu.be/Ktu1LSvJ8v0

My BFF sent me 2 songs & both tore me apart..

I can feel the hurt in this song ( but it's Elvis, c'mon he's the best!)

My Boy- http://youtu.be/HOLH63c7SG0

and MY all time favorite A song-

Clay walker- Then What -http://youtu.be/RriwQbiLJNA

My feel good songs are pretty off the wall..

During my EX'H's A one song made me feel strong-

New kids on the block- Baby, I believe in you.. I know strange but it just made me believe in ME!

and during WH A..Apple bottom jeans..(don't judge ) WH was so sure I was out clubbing & partying that after we R'ed if this song came on the radio in the car , he would change stations.. Even today he can't listen to this song

"Sorry" works when a mistake is made, but not when trust is broken. So in life, make mistakes, but never break trust. Because forgiving is easy, but forgetting & trusting again is sometimes impossible
