It seems like we’ve been talking about heartbreak an awful lot lately. That needs to stop. So for this edition of audio love, we’ll give heartbreak its proper sendoff (at least for the time being) with 10 of my favorite break up songs. Feel free to add to the list by suggesting your own favorites. Come next week, we’ll all be singing a much happier tune. Sound like a plan?

Deborah Cox Feat. R. L.- “We Can’t Be Friends”
Fly Lyrics:
To her you’re still family, and it don’t seem fair
For everyone to just go on
And I’ve tried and I can’t do it
‘Cause I’m still torn

Babyface- “Where Will You Go”
Fly Lyrics:
But soon as love appeared
You turned away
And you were so unsure and so afraid
Of feeling what I was feeling
You were scared that love
Would blow your heart away

Donell Jones –”Where I Wanna Be”
Fly Lyrics:
Never did I imagine
That you would play a major part
In a decision that’s so hard
Do I leave, do I stay, do I go?
I think about my life and what matters to me the most
Girl, the love that we share is real
But in time your heart will heal

Mary J Blige-”Not Gon’ Cry”
Fly Lyrics:
Eleven years of sacrifice
And you can leave at the drop of a dime
Swallowed my fears, stood by your side
I shoulda left your ass a thousand times

Lauryn Hill- “Ex Factor”
Fly Lyrics:
Is this just a silly game
That forces you to act this way
Forces you to scream my name
Then pretend that you can’t stay

112 feat. Faith Evans- “I Can’t Believe”
Fly Lyrics:
Hours, days and nights I sat and I prayed
Never thought that I would see this day
I didn’t think that it could hurt so bad
A broken heart was never meant for me

Ne-Yo- “So Sick”
Fly Lyrics:
I’m so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I’m so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can’t I turn off the radio?

Brian McKnight- “One Last Cry” (Live)

I was here, you were there
Guess we never could agree
While the sun shines on you
I need some love to rain on me

Dru Hill- “One Good Reason”
Fly Lyrics:
So tell me what am I suppose to do
Should I stay and wait for you
My heart is slowly aching for your love
And I don’t know what to do
