5. Great Big Sea - "How Did We Get From Saying 'I Love You' (to I'll See You Around Someday)"
This one really hits home for me.
[lyrics]
"It's a cold day for September"
Was all I thought to say
When I saw you on the street the other day
I knew something changed between us
All the talk we made was small
But what do you say to someone
When they've heard you say it all
It's an awkward conversation
In a most peculiar way
How did we get from saying "I love you"
to "I'll see you around someday"
It seemed like only days ago
We had so much to say
Did we take it all for granted
Did it all get thrown away
"It calls for rain this afternoon" you finally replied
Then there was a stuttering silence
That I felt my mouth go dry
We'll talk about the weather
'Cause there's not much more to say
How did we get from saying "I love you"
to "I'll see you around someday"
How did we get from saying "I love you"
to "I'll see you around someday"
Has all the ice been broken?
All our surfaces been scratched?
Have all the words been spoken
Have we finally met our match?
Cause it's an awkward conversation
In a most peculiar way
How did we get from saying "I love you"
to "I'll see you around someday"
How did we get from saying "I love you"
to "I'll see you around someday"

give what you take - mojave 3
by the time it gets dark - yo la tengo
the river - joni mitchell (not a break up song per se, but perhaps the most solemn depressing beautiful song ever put on tape)

Not a real best-of list, but the two that have gotten the most play for me recently.
Nina Simone - "The Other Woman"
The Magnetic Fields - "Nobody Will Ever Love You"
