If you have seen my Break Up Quotes post, brokenhearted people might treat these break up songs the very same way. When listening to these sad heartbreaking songs, it’s also a time for them to emote, reflect, reminisce and struggle to get over. They would listen carefully and try to relate the lines from the songs to their own situation, claiming the song is perfect for them.
Here’s to those who are feeling broken and lonely. My friend told me before that sometimes, the best therapy for a person to forget is to cry much till there’s no more left to cry. In time you’d realize you have reached your limit of crying and yet you are still alive and well. Makes you realize crying can be healthy to your heart to express what’s inside. So for a good heavy cry, why not play any of these songs for background. That would give you a good moment of realization that everything has finally ended. I’m also giving the lines that I like the most. Some are classics songs and some are new.

The Past by Jed Madela

The way they used to be

The same things as before
So let’s not bring the past up anymore

But it’s over

but to tell you the truth I can’t find my way
Why by Avril Lavigne
So go and think about whatever you need to think about
Go on and dream about whatever you need to dream about
And come back to me when you know just how you feel, you feel
I can feel, I can feel you near me, even though you’re far away
I can feel, I can feel you baby, why

Every time the phone rings
Do you wish it was me calling you?
Do you still feel the same?
Or has time put out the flame?
I miss you is everything okay?

Separate lives

Songs that expresses pain towards your ex. You may say you’ve moved on, but obviously you are bitter that ends up cursing your ex. Well if not really angry, at least bitter and there are signs of sweet revenge.

Go on and take a bow
But it’s over now

Taylor Swift Break Up Songs
Do you guys know, that instead of calling her songs “country music/songs genre”, most people categorized them into break up songs. Why? Because they said most are about break ups, brokenhearted, separation or just anything about a failed relationship. Some critics even said that every time Taylor Swift gets a boyfriend and breaks up, she end ups with 1 album that becomes a hit! lol. Anyway, here are few of Taylor Swift’s Break Up Songs and if not actually break up, conflicts songs that might lead to break up though. So just consider them brokenhearted songs. It really keeps me wondering how a super pretty lady like her could be brokenhearted and taken for granted for many times? O.o

- Cold As You
- Picture To Burn
- Tied Together With A Smile
- Should’ve Said No
