      Do you mean, like leaving a soulmate?

      There's Jacques Brel's Ne me quitte pas

      "I never had the need to have a boner." -- Dissident

        The cake is NOT a lie. It's so delicious and moist.

            It's amazing
            How you make your face just like a wall
            How you take your heart and turn it off
            How I turn my head and lose it all

            It's unnerving
            How just one move puts me by myself
            There you go just trusting someone else
            Now I know I put us both through hell

            I'm not saying there wasn't nothing wrong
            I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me
            I'm now saying we ever had the right to hold on
            I just didn't wanna let it get away from me

            But if that's how it's gonna leave
            Straight out from underneath
            Then we'll see who's sorry now
            If that's how it's gonna stand, when
            You know you've been depending on
            The one you're leaving now
            The one you're leaving out

            It's aggravating
            How you threw me on and you tore me out
            How your good intentions turn to doubt
            The way you needed time to sort it out

            I'm not saying there wasn't nothing wrong
            I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me
            I'm now saying we ever had the right to hold on
            I just didn't wanna let it get away from me

            But if that's how it's gonna leave
            Straight out from underneath
            Then we'll see who's sorry now
            If that's how it's gonna stand, when
            You know you've been depending on
            The one you're leaving now
            The one you're leaving out

            The one you're leaving now
            The one you're leaving out

            I'm not saying there wasn't nothing wrong
            I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me

            But if that's how it's gonna leave
            Straight out from underneath
            Then we'll see who's sorry now
            If that's how it's gonna stand, when
            You know you've been depending on
            The one you're leaving now
            The one you're leaving out

            Tell me is that how it's going to end
            When you know you've been depending on
            The one you're leaving now
            And the one you're leaving out

            The one you're leaving now
            The one you're leaving out

              ah, they don't have to be really sad songs, something rap or alternative or maybe rock...

                You got a fast car
                I want a ticket to anywhere
                Maybe we make a deal
                Maybe together we can get somewhere

                Anyplace is better
                Starting from zero got nothing to lose
                Maybe we'll make something
                But me myself I got nothing to prove

                You got a fast car
                And I got a plan to get us out of here
                I been working at the convenience store
                Managed to save just a little bit of money
                We won't have to drive too far
                Just 'cross the border and into the city
                You and I can both get jobs
                And finally see what it means to be living

                You see my old man's got a problem
                He live with the bottle that's the way it is
                He says his body's too old for working
                I say his body's too young to look like his
                My mama went off and left him
                She wanted more from life than he could give
                I said somebody's got to take care of him
                So I quit school and that's what I did

                You got a fast car
                But is it fast enough so we can fly away
                We gotta make a decision
                We leave tonight or live and die this way

                I remember we were driving driving in your car
                The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
                City lights lay out before us
                And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
                And I had a feeling that I belonged
                And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

                You got a fast car
                And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
                You still ain't got a job
                And I work in a market as a checkout girl
                I know things will get better
                You'll find work and I'll get promoted
                We'll move out of the shelter
                Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
                You got a fast car
                And I got a job that pays all our bills
                You stay out drinking late at the bar
                See more of your friends than you do of your kids
                I'd always hoped for better
                Thought maybe together you and me would find it
                I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
                So take your fast car and keep on driving

                You got a fast car
                But is it fast enough so you can fly away
                You gotta make a decision
                You leave tonight or live and die this way

                          "This is the Last Morning" -- by Shel Silverstein

                          Which begins something like...

                          This is the last morning,
                          I'll wake up in the dirty city,
                          and try a shave a face
                          I don't even recognize.

                          I'm going home; I'm going home.

                            AFI - Leaving Song

                            Walked away,
                            Heard them say,
                            Poison hearts will never change
                            Walk away again
                            Turned away in disgrace
                            Felt the chill upon my face
                            Cooling from within

                            Hard to notice
                            Gleaming from the sky
                            When your staring at the cracks
                            Hard to notice
                            What is passing by
                            With eyes low, oh

                            Walked away
                            Heard them say
                            Poison hearts will never change
                            Walk away again

                            All the cracks they lead right to me
                            And all the cracks will crawl right through me
                            All the cracks they lead right to me
                            And all the cracks will crawl right through me
                            And they’ll part

                              Boxer -Simon and Garfunkel

                              I am just a poor boy
                              Though my story's seldom told
                              I have squandered my resistance
                              For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises
                              All lies and jests
                              Still a man hears what he wants to hear
                              And disregards the rest
                              When I left my home and my family
                              I was no more than a boy
                              In the company of strangers
                              In the quiet of the railway station running scared
                              Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
                              Where the ragged people go
                              Looking for the places only they would know
                              Lie la lie ..


                              Asking only workman's wages
                              I come looking for a job
                              But I get no offers,
                              Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
                              I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
                              I took some comfort there
                              Lie la lie ...

                              Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
                              And wishing I was gone
                              Going home
                              Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
                              Bleeding me, going home
                              In the clearing stands a boxer
                              And a fighter by his trade
                              And he carries the reminders
                              Of ev'ry glove that layed him down
                              Or cut him till he cried out
                              In his anger and his shame
                              "I am leaving, I am leaving"
                              But the fighter still remains
                              Lie la lie ...
