Just another sad love song...

[Sad_Girl]

You know the song 'Sometimes love just ain't enough' by Don Henley? Well, I'm looking for similar break-up songs. Ones that aren't angry, just bittersweet.

 

[Cute Irish Bono]

"Throw the Roses Away" by Hall & Oates. Not the regular 80's Hall & Oates. This is them in the late 90's. In my opinion they sound much better.

Throw The Roses Away Lyrics

Words can never change
What our hearts have denied
And all the sweet memories
Won't bring the love back to life
And the more that we try
The more it's gonna make you see
No words, hopes, anything
Will bring back life to your dream
All night it took me to learn
Oh baby, baby how to say
This love just won't work
Just for once in my life
Do I wanna go with what's right
It's gone; we've got to move on
You know that's the truth - so do I

[Chorus:]
Sad boquets we save
Won't make up one sweet day
Throw the roses away

Don't need them anymore
Cause they just make you cry
If you let it go, let it go, let it go baby
You'll get some peace of mind
Only lonely for now
But you'll come back from the pain
Though l don't know if l'll ever find
Someone Iike you again

[Chorus]

Words in my mind
Talk about you to me all the time
Oh why should just a rose
Have such a sad hold over our lives

[Chorus]

also, i'd recommend the following:

"a soldier's tale" by the good the bad and the queen

el manana - the gorillaz

sweet song - blur

no distance left to run - blur

anyone notice a trend there?

Muse - Knights of Cydonia

The Rolling Stones- "Angie" or "Wild Horses"

While I haven´t heard the Don Henley song I can help with You and I Both by Jason Mraz and the superb and completely underrated Split Screen Sadness by John Mayer.
