    Dead-end streets and boulevardsYou threw in the towel, I broke your heartBut there's a first time for everythingWho would've thought you'd feel so coldAnd all these memories seem so oldTo think you were my everythingRemember when we'd talk all nightBut time ain't easy on us, how can love die?I got so much shit to sayBut I can't help feeling like I'm camouflageFortress around my heartYou were mine just yesterdayNow I have no idea who you areIt's like you camouflage

Breaking up is Dramatic. Which makes me think that a lot of the questions you have about breaking up might be better thought of as questions about the nature of love you have with this girl
