But it makes no difference now, does it?

Oh my. I didn't know Genesis was a prog rock group. Phil Collins was in it - come on la! Then again, he was just the drummer. Thing is, my dad used to listen to Genesis. And Deep Purple. And a few other rock bands. He hasn't actually complained about my Muse mania really; just my sister who thinks Matt is weird. And ugly. But of course we know he isn't, definitely isn't. Right?

Hmm...that new My Chemical Romance video, I Don't Love You. Got me thinking about some break up songs. For example:

Bad

Tiny Vessels - Death Cab for Cutie

Yeah, you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me.

I Don't Love You - MCR

"I don't love you like I loved you yesterday"

Volcano - Damien Rice

What I am to you is not what you mean to me

Hyper Music - Muse *ouch*

you know that I don't want you and I never did
I don't want you and I never will

Depressing

The Pieces Don't Fit Anymore - James Morrison

And if you leave me now
Just leave me now
It's the better thing to do

I Am Trying to Break Your Heart - Wilco

what was I thinking when I let go of you

I always thought that if I held you tightly
You would always love me like you did back then

What Sarah Said - Death Cab for Cutie (not strictly a break up, but then)

And I’m thinking of what Sarah said,
That love is watching someone die.

Slow Dancing in A Burning Room - John Mayer

This is the deep and dying breath of
this love we've been working on

Delicate - Damien Rice

why'd ya sing hallelujah
if it means nothin’ to ya
why'd ya sing with me at all?

Angry

Every You Every Me - Placebo

Another love I would abuse
No circumstances could excuse

Sucker love I always find
Someone to bruise and leave behind

Time is Running Out - Muse

Now that you know I'm trapped
Sense of elation
You'd never dream of
Breaking this fixation

Melancholic

She Left on A Monday - Bic Runga

What's the use of having pride if you don't have her?
She'll endure all she can
But you could make this easier on her

Torn - Natalie Imbruglia

Well you couldn’t be that man that I adored
You don’t seem to know, or seem to care what your heart is for

Worn Me Down - Racheal Yamagata

I did everything you told me to do
But you can't stop thinking about her

Till It Happens to You - Corinne Bailey Rae

nobody wants to face the truth
but you wont believe what love can do
till it happens to you

Choux Pastry Heart - Corinne Bailey Rae

Broke my choux pastry heart
Guess life's no picture postcard

The Scientist - Coldplay

Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions,
Oh let's go back to the start.

Nobody said it was easy,
It's such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be this hard.

Warning Sign - Coldplay

When the truth is
I miss you
Yeah the truth is
That I miss you so
And I’m tired
I should not have let you go

And then there are some for when the guy deserves to be yelled at...

Another Place to Fall - KT Tunstall

Well I don't see no holes in the road but you

Irreplaceable - Beyonce

so don't you ever for a second get to thinking,
you're irreplaceable

Your Heart is An Empty Room - Death Cab for Cutie (again! again!)

And you shed not a single tear for the things that you didn't need,
Cause you knew you were finally free.

Apres Moi - Regina Spektor

I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours

Map of Your Head - Muse

I'm sick of feeding my soul
See people who'll never know
Just how purposeless and empty they've grown

I'm freezing and losing my way
I don't need another map of your head

Your Ex-Lover is Dead - Stars

And all of that time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name

I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save

He Lied About Death - Stars

I hope your drunken daughters are gay
You are the shadow of fear
You scare the love out of here
Like an ape in a cage

Whoops. Got carried away there.

And now. To lunch. :)
