Sarah Beth is scared to death
To hear what the doctor will say
She hasn't been well
Since the day that she fell
And the bruise, just won't go away
So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad
Flips through an old magazine
Till a the nurse with a smile
Stands at the door
And says will you please come with me

Sarah Beth is scared to death
Cause the doctor just told her the news
Between the red cells and white
Something's not right
But we're gonna take care of you

Six chances in ten it won't come back again
With the therapy were gonna try
It's just been approved
It's the strongest there is
I think we caught it in time

Sarah Beth closes her eyes
And she dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love is holding her close
And the soft wind is blowing her hair

Sarah Beth is scared to death
As she sits holding her mom
Cause it would be a mistake
For someone to take
A girl with no hair to the prom

For, just this morning right there on her pillow
Was the cruelest of any surprise
And she cried when she gathered it all in her hands
The proof that she couldn't deny

Sarah Beth closes her eyes
And she dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love was holding her close
And the soft wind is blowing her hair

Its quarter to seven
That boys at the door
And her daddy ushers him in
And when he takes off his cap
They all start to cry
Cause this mornin where his hair had been
Softly she touches just skin

And they go dancin
Around and around without any cares
And her very first true love is holding her close
And for a moment she isn't scared

I'm sure this qualifies me for pussy of the day honors...

Dixie Chicks - You Were Mine.

Though I was probably more on the giving end of the heart-breaking than her, being the one breaking up. It is still a bit of an issue for the girl in question, four years later - yeah, that's how incredible I am.

When my roommate in college broke up with his g/f of 6 years, I heard "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd for about 2 months.

Crushingly, Jeff Buckley does a medley of Hallelujah and this song on Mystery White Boy(live album). That version just devastates me.

Re: Songs you listened to over and over when your heart got broke...
 

I had a roommate in college who stayed loyal to his girlfriend over a summer while she studied abroad. She dumped him on her second day back, new boyfriend in tow.

For the following 2 months, only song he ever played in our apartment was "Whipping Post" by the Allman Brothers.

I agree. I have no idea why I or anyone else would torture themselves this way either. I just did.

pearl jam black is an excellent song, especially for this question.

"I know some day you'll have a beautiful life,
I know you'll be a star,
In somebody else's sky, but why.......why......whyyyy....
Can't it be........can't it be mine........."

"Heart of the Matter" by Don Henley

Haha...I remember listening to that over and over after my 6th grade gf dumped me. She never even let me kiss her w/tongue and I thought my life was over. Then I listened to "Dirty Laundry" and started kicking ass again. HOOOrah!

More recently...
"Pictures of You" is impossible to listen to, even now. I don't remember the girl's name but I remember driving to school with my Mom and bursting out crying by the second verse. She said I was a big pussy. Then she made me eat dog food. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

"I didn't want to say goodbye." By Ari Hest

Easily the sadest song ever written, instead of leaving in the song the girl is dead, which for was more fun to think about.

Here's a taste:

I get cards and Bouquets,
But they can't take your place.
And I have dreams about us,
but I always wake up.

I can ask,
I can plead,
I can beg down on my knees.
For a reason, for a sign.
But the answer I won't find.

"No Children" by the Mountain Goats
I felt like I almost exploded the first time I heard it. The lyrics are brutal.

Lyrics:
I hope that our few remaining friends
Give up on trying to save us
I hope we come up with a failsafe plot
To piss off the dumb few that forgave us
I hope the fences we mended
Fall down beneath their own weight
And I hope we hang on past the last exit
I hope it's already too late
And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here
Someday burns down
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away
And I never come back to this town
Again in my life
I hope I lie
And tell everyone you were a good wife
And I hope you die
I hope we both die

I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow
I hope it bleeds all day long
Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises
We're pretty sure they're all wrong
I hope it stays dark forever
I hope the worst isn't over
And I hope you blink before I do
Yeah I hope I never get sober
And I hope when you think of me years down the line
You can't find one good thing to say
And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out
You'd stay the hell out of my way
I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand
And I hope you die
I hope we both die

Otis Redding, the entire box set, on repeat.

Re: Songs you listened to over and over when your heart got broke...
 

Heh, it's actually pretty funny, but I listened to a lot of Les Os by The Unicorns, which is like...not really a sad song. But one lyric is like, "Is this love of our's a lie?"

Anyway, it took like 6 months to get over it, I would say after a 12 month relationship. We were actually "together" for like 18 months, but the last 6 (the getting over it part) were just hell. Anyway...I remember the moment I got over it was one late night listening to the song "Cherry" by Ratatat, which has no lyrics. It just clicked.
