One of the most poignant "breakup" songs ever…

Al Jarreau, "Not Like This" (1983)
[media=https://youtu.be/LC7gVvI6Bts]

Not like this
without a single tear
We can't just walk away as if
It never happened

Our kind of love
has never
Talked in whispers
So if it's time to go
Let's do it right and go out loud

But not like this
without a backward glance
Did all our feelings die
The moment love was over
Well, not in me 'cause
I still feel you in my soul

So I will leave you
Tenderly
or bitterly
But not like this
