so long, you're gone -- this is the breakup song.

[semisweet]

so. i'm attempting to pre-emptively deal with the inevitable. not a spoiler; just an assumption.

this is logan's breakup mix.

(lots of making veronica the bad guy, sorry. *team logan*)

01. leavin' - plain white t's

i'm leavin' today
i'll say goodbye to my favorite face
don't wanna go, but i just can't stay
and be treated -- i won't be treated this way

02. breakfast after 10 - blue october

confession: i used this in a logan mix back sometime last season, but it's actually more appropriate now.

you gotta make her know how it feels to miss you
let her know you're swapping sides
you're not the one with all the problems -- no no
you're the one with all the pride

so just pick your head up boy and walk away
walk the coolest walk that you know
cause in a month or two she'll call you
you gotta hang up the phone

03. far away from close - butch walker

you were faking, i'd mistaken you for someone i once knew
into the ring i flew, like a wrestler falls on cue
can you show me? please show me -- why it all went down in flames
was it 'cause i made it through, and you were just too fucked up to?

04. tainted love - soft cell

once i ran to you
now i'll run from you
this tainted love you've given
i gave you all a boy could give you
take my tears and that's not nearly all

05. burning photographs - ryan adams

pretty pictures in a magazine
everybody is so make believe, it's true
i used to be sad
now I'm just bored with you
you're doomed to repeat the past
'cause nothing is gonna last
i burned all of your photographs

06. on my own - hedley

how'd you end up oh-so-jaded?
cynical and so sedated
can't live in this world you created
day after day after day
and now i gotta be

on my own
and living in a world alone
gets better everyday
that i don't have to say
i'm sorry; i'm comin' home

07. right now - sr-71 & honor among thieves

i used to hang on every word,
each lie was more absurd
kept me so insecure
but now that's over

she taught me how to trust,
and to believe in us,
and then she taught me how to cuss
that bitch -- it's over

(you know, i used to be such a nice boy)

08. i'm ready - jack's mannequin

i come undone, oh yes, i do
just think of all the thoughts wasted on you
and every word you say -- say something sweet
'cause all i taste is blood between my teeth

09. your ex-lover is dead - stars

it's nothing but time and a face that you'll lose
i chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
i'll write you a postcard, i'll send you the news
from the house down the road, from real love

live through this and you won't look back (x3)

there's one thing i have to say so i'll be brave
you were what i wanted, i gave what i gave
i'm not sorry i met you
i'm not sorry it's over
i'm not sorry there's nothing to save

10. the breakup song - american hi-fi

i can't believe i hung around with you all this time
you drove me crazy with your o.c.d., girl you're out of your mind
i'm counting on UFOs to beam me up i just don't know
how long I can take this shit i'm over it, girl you gotta go

it's over, we're over
just like in "crimson and clover"
we're sinking, i'm thinking
how the hell did we get so stupid?
it's the end, ex-girlfriend
i don't care what you think of me now
so long, you're gone;
this is the break up song

BONUS: since u been gone (live) - butch walker

how can i put it, you put me on
i even fell for that STUPID LOVE SONG
yeah yeah yeah yeah
since you been gone
how come i never hear you say "i just wanna be with you"
i guess you never felt that way

EDIT: this isn't really part of the mix (i was attempting to have kind of a unified sound and it just didn't fit), but the lyrics are so fucking perfect that i thought i'd throw it out here anyway. and yeah, it's constantine from american idol. deal! :P

so long - constantine maroulis

baby - you've really done it this time
it may be crazy, oh crazy
but you made up my mind
oh i'm sick of crying
i'm shivering from the cold
it's so hard letting you go

but i'm tired of dealing with the heartache
i've had enough of livin' life this way
damn, it coulda been better
me and you shoulda been forever
and i know i'm better bein' on my own
here i go walkin' out that door
i admit that i'm so scared
baby but i don't care
lonely only stays lonely for so long
...so long

uh, hi flist! i'm home! XD
