The Breakup Song 

We had broken up for good
Just an hour before
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
And now I'm staring at the bodies
As they're dancing 'cross the floor
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
And then the band slowed the tempo
And the music gets you down
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
It was the same old song
With a melancholy sound
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
They don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't write 'em like that anymore
We'd been living together for a million years
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
But now it feels so strange out of the atmospheres
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah

And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
And now I'm staring at the bodies
As they're dancing so slow
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aah
They don't write 'em like that anymore
They don't write 'em like that anymore
Mm, now I wind up staring at an empty glass
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
'Cause it's so easy to say
That she'll forget your past
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aah
They don't write 'em like that anymore
No, they just don't write 'em like that anymore
They don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't, no, they don't, no no, uh-uh
They just don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't

win the breakup

Meeting your ex after some time has passed and comparing details about your current lives - there is always a winner and a loser in a breakup. If your life is going significantly better than your ex's, then you "win the breakup" Coined by the TV show How I Met Your Mother.

I ran into my ex Susan the other day - she's working at a Dairy Queen and got knocked up by some douche. I totally won that breakup.

Man, stop watching TV and go get a job or something. Don't you want to win the breakup when you meet Jen at this year's reunion?

Winning the Breakup 

There are a few things you can do to accomplish this goal- first and foremost though, you need to bang a new girl(s). DO NOT, however, get a new girlfriend. This only exudes desperation and is a sure fire way to lose the breakup, miserably. Your Ex will think even less of you than when they broke up with you (another tip to win the breakup- initiate the breakup).
And if you do get a new girlfriend quick, make sure that they are at least better looking than your Ex, so your Ex isn't glad to see you stoop to new lows.

Bro 1: Dude she got right into another relationship. And with that guy? Damn, desperado much?
Bro 2 (initiator of breakup): Yeah, what a joke. She says she's winning the breakup. I call yet another victory in this breakup.
Bro 1: Yeah. That's just sad. You've definitely won the breakup.

The Californian Breakup 

Breaking up with someone while wearing flip-flops, so that when you walk away the flip flop sound stays in the air.

Oscar: How did you break up with Jessica?
Paul: I gave her the californian breakup.
Oscar: How did she take it?
Paul: She didnt like the sound.
