Would you like Eyeliner with those tears?

Here's one of my favorite break up song requests so far..


The Cure "Pictures of You"

Like (I imagine) many of the other suggestions you have received, my suggestion has a personal connection.

When I discovered my girlfriend (from high school) cheated on me when we went away to college, I broke up with her by sending her a letter that included the full lyrics of this song
along with a torn up picture of the two of us that I had mounted on the same sheet of paper that included the lyrics.

Oh, I was so melodramatic then. I am sure I was wearing all black and my bangs surely hung down over my eyes.

No worries Robert Smith Jr., there are certainly many more melodramatic folks out there like you.

Any more dramatic, juicy or restraining-order-worthy break up stories?

Send them our way!

Oh, Danny, I just love what you did! That's one of my favorite Cure songs of all time. I'll bet you were adorable when brokenhearted and found a new girl in record time.

I thought only women were prone to such grand emotional symbolic gestures, LOL. I stand corrected, sir!

Oops - I mistakenly thought that was YOUR story. Well, whoever did it was cute and I appreciate the melodrama regardless.
