On a day when everyone is thinking of love and hearts and roses, I'd like to focus on the opposite -- when love goes south. We've all had our share of happiness, and unfortunately we've also had our share of heartbreaks. Musically speaking, I think that the best songs ever written are those written about breakups and heartbreak. Let's be real - "My Heart Will Go On And On" just does not have the staying power of "I Fall To Pieces." Here's my top ten breakup songs:
1. You Oughta Know - Alannis Morisette
2. Crying - Roy Orbison or K.D. Lang version 3. I Fall To Pieces - Patsy Cline
4. I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor
5. You're No Good - Linda Ronstadt
6. Better Things To Do - Terri Clark
7. I Keep Forgetting - Michael McDonald
8. Linger - The Cranberries
9. On My Own - Patti LaBelle
10. He Stopped Loving Her Today - George Jones

I'm sorry I broke your heart on Valentine's Day, Big Mama. Maybe you can write a song about your broken heart. JUST KIDDING. I revised the artist. I hope you still love me.

Guess I have to write that song now.........and you're in big TROUBLE cause I'm going to sing it to you until you put ROY first.....and you say MERCY

A personal fave of mine, probably because it came out when I happened to have a big time broken heart....
"My Heart Can't Tell Me No" Rod Stewart
I dont want you
To come round here no more
I beg you for mercy
You dont know how strong
My weakness is
Or how much it hurts me
Cause when you said it over with him
I want to believe its true
So I let you in knowing tomorrow
Im gonna wake up missing you
Wake up missing you
When the one you loves
In love with someone else
Dont you know its torture
I mean its a living hell
No matter how I try to convince myself
This time I wont lose control
One look in your blue eyes
And suddenly my heart cant tell you no
I dont want you
To call me up no more
Saying you need me
Youre crazy if you think
Just half your love
Could ever please me
Still I want to hold you, touch you
When you look at me that way
Theres only one solution I know
You gotta stay away from me
Stay away from me
When the one you loves
In love with someone else
Dont you know its torture
I mean its a living hell
No matter how I try to convince myself
This time I wont lose control
One look in your sad eyes
And suddenly my heart cant tell you no
My heart cant tell you no
I dont want you
To come round here no more
I beg you for mercy
You dont know how strong
My weakness is
Or how much it hurts me
Cause when you say its over with him
I want to believe its true
So I let you in knowing tomorrow
Im gonna wake up missing you
Wake up missing you
When the one you loves
In love with someone else
Dont you know its torture
I mean its a living hell, a living hell
When the one you loves
In love with someone else
Dont you know its torture
I mean its a living hell, a living hell
