Constraints:
You have 8 hours from this post time.
Must be a recent song - 1990s and on, 2000 and on preferable.
Lyrics must be explicitly about being cheated on - no "this song was written after he broke up with his girlfriend" crap.
Must be an awesome song.
I need it for a comparative analysis paper on rock music.
Thanks for your help.
well this isn't a rock song but its all i got...eamons smurf it and here's some lyrics~"You thought, you could
Keep thisfrom me, yeah
Ya burnt bitch, I heard the story
Ya played me, ya even gave him head
Now ya askin for me back
Ya just another act, look elsewhere
Cuz ya done with me"
in keeping with the "what concert is Brendan attending tonight" you should check out The Walkmen's "No Christmas While I'm Talking" off the album Bows + Arrows. Pretty much about finding out you are being cheated, although it isn't explicitly about a girlfriend, I guess. And good luck finding lyrics online. I did, but it took a while.
(Falling In Love (Is Hard On The Knees) - Nine Lives)
You're so bad, you're so bad, you're so
You're so bad, you're so bad, you're so
You think you're in love
Like it's a real sure thing
But every time you fall
You get yo' ass in a sling
You used to be strong
But now it's "ooh baby please"
'Cause falling in love is so hard on the knees
You're so bad, you're so bad, you're so
You're so bad, you're so bad, you're so
We was making love
When you told me that you loved me
I thought ol' cupid
He was taking aim
I was believer when you told me
That you loved me
And then you called me
Someone elses name
There ain't gonna be no more
Beggin' you please
You know what I want
And it ain't one of these
You're bad to the bone
And your girlfriend agreed
That falling in love is so hard on the knees
You're so bad, you're so bad, you're so
You're so bad, you're so
Chip off the old block
Man, you're so much like your sister
My fantasize it must be out of luck
My old labido has been
Blowing a transistor
I feel like I have been hit by a smurf
Yeah
I'm Jones' in' on love
Yeah I got the DT's
You say that we will
Bbut there ain't no guarentees
I'm major in love
but in all minor key
'Cause falling in love is so hard on the knees
What are you looking for
It's got to be hard core
Must be some kind of nouveau riche
Is this your only chance
Or some hypnotic trance
Let's get you on a tighter leach
You're so bad, you're so bad, you're so
You're so bad, you're so bad, you're so
You ain't that good
Is what you said
Down to the letter
But you like the way
I hold the microphone
Sometimes I good but
When I'm bad I'm even better
Don't give me no lip
I've got enough of my own
There ain't gonna be
No more beggin' you please
You know what I want
and it ain't one of these
You're bad to the bone
And your girlfriend agreed
That falling in love is so hard on the knees
I'm jones' in' on love
Yeah I got the DT's
You say that we will, yeah
But there ain't no gurantees
I'm major in love
but in all minor key
'Cause falling in love is so hard on the knees
While that Walkmen song is cool, I don't think I can write enough about it. Since I'm comparing it to Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine", I'm thinking of settling on Rupert Holmes's "Him" (motown traces, an awesome song, you know).
I went through a bunch of songs, Googled the hell out of the Internet, and ventured into the depth of emo and punk and all that stuff I never listen to (Taking Back Sunday, Brand New, Dashboard... *shudder*) as well as some Finch and Goldfinger (not as shudder, but meh), and some cool songs, like Rob Dougan - Left Me for Dead, Rehab - Sittin' at a Bar, Third Eye Blind - anything really, and so on.
I'll still take some more suggestions, since I won't start the paper until tonight, but you're up against Rupert Holmes. Thanks everyone for your help.

I got nothing. Sorry. :(
The Killers Mr. Brightside?
There's always Theory of a Dead Man's "No Surprise".
Friday is when you left me
So I'll drink myself to sleep
And Sunday is when I wake up
Not to remember a thing
My friends all say the same thing
I don't know my new girl too well
(and I know) That all this lying gets to me
And no one seems to give a
(the way) She talks to every guy in the bar
(I guess) It should've raised some kind of alarm
Who'd ever think I'd go and end up
Like all the other guys that you gone and smurfed
(CHORUS)
Well it ain't no surprise
That you turn me on and leave
It ain't no surprise
That you turn it around on me
I don't know why
You won't give me what I need
It ain't no surprise
(Whoa) That that bitch is leaving me
My friends are mean to me
They say I don't break up too well
(they know) That all this crying gets to me
And no one seems to give a
I know you want to, so go on and say it
Just go on and say it (x2)
(Chorus)
(leaving me) (x3)
Friday is when you left me
So I drank myself to sleep
And Sunday I never woke up
(Chorus)
Whoa that that bitch is leaving me
Oh man, what was your post time? Oh man I am out of time. Drag. ;_;
Ooh, also Killswitch Engage with "The End of Heartache".
This distance
This dissolution
I cling to memories while falling
Sleep brings release
And the hope of a new day
Waking the misery of being without you
Surrender, I give in
Another moment is another eternity
(Seek me) For comfort
(Call me) For solace
(I値l be waiting) For the end of my broken heart
(Seek me) Completion
(Call me) I値l be waiting
(I値l be waiting) For the end of my broken heart
You know me
You know me all too well
My only desire to bridge our division
In sorrow I speak your name
And my voice mirrors
Mirrors my torment
(Seek me) For comfort
(Call me) For solace
(I値l be waiting) For the end of my broken heart
(Seek me) Completion
(Call me) I値l be waiting
(I値l be waiting) For the end of my broken heart
Am I breathing?
My strength fails me
Your picture a bitter memory
For comfort
For solace
(Seek me) For comfort
(Call me) For solace
(I値l be waiting) For the end of my broken heart
JUST A FRIEND - BIZ MARKEE
