I was gonna do this and the next one for Valentine's Day (otherwise known to me as That Accursed Holiday). Two songs that sum up my take on the whole festival of pink and red. So, here are my depressing picks.
Nickelback - Someone That You're With
I reside in 209, you're in 208
You moved in last Friday night
And I just couldn't wait
So I tried to call across the hall
To ask you out someday
But a lineup formed outside your door
And I was way too late
Well I'd rather start off slow
This whole thing's like some sort of race
Instead of winning what I want
I'm sitting here in second place
Because somewhere the one I wanna be with's with somebody else
Oh god, I wanna be that Someone That You're With
(I wanna be that Someone That You're With)
And I can talk about it all day long
'til I run out of breath
But I still wanna be that Someone That You're With
(I've got to be that Someone That You're With)
And I'm pacing by the phone
'Cause I hate to be alone
And if you're out there with him somewhere and just about to kiss
God I wanna be that Someone That You're With
Well I hear your favorite songs
You sing along with everyday
And I borrow things that I don't need
For conversation's sake
Last night I heard your key
It hit your lock at 4 AM
Instead of being out with me
You must be out with them
Because somewhere the one I wanna be with's with somebody else
Oh god, I wanna be that Someone That You're With
(I wanna be that Someone That You're With)
And I can talk about it all day long
'til I run out of breath
But I still wanna be that Someone That You're With
(I've got to be that Someone That You're With)
And I'm pacing by the phone
'Cause I hate to be alone
And if you're out there with him somewhere and just about to kiss
God, I wanna be that Someone That You're With
Well somewhere the one I wanna be with's with somebody else
Oh god, I wanna be that Someone That You're With
And I can talk about it all day long
'til I run out of breath
But I still wanna be that Someone That You're With
(I've got to be that Someone That You're With)
And I'm pacing by the phone
'Cause I hate to be alone
And if you're out there with him somewhere and just about to kiss
God, I've got to be that someone that
I wanna be that someone that
I've got to be that Someone That You're With

Not something I'm posting FOR or about someone, but dang if that overused cliche "Story of my life" doesn't fit this.
It's almost a techno song, very fast, sort of throbbing beat. Not typical Nickelback fare, for either their entries into the ballad or rock genres, thought it fits both or either. A great song, one of those that you "feel" and then you hear it on CD, and say "So that's it..."
