And among the 55 greatest breakup songs of all time, you're certain to find something to relate to. Katrin Engel / EyeEm/Getty Images Breakups are never easy, but sometimes you might be making things harder on yourself. Adele is lurking in the shadows of her ex's place, as she is wont to do. There are indignant rappers and spiteful rockers. On this list, you'll find wounded soul singers and divas walking unbowed from the ashes of bad relationships. The best breakup songs distil raw, universal human emotions into sonic symphonies. And others… well frankly they’re a little toxic, songs about burning the very concept of love to the ground. Others are thoughtful meditations on human connection. But some are righteous cries of joy that signal the end of a bad relationship. Sadness and grief are certainly the classic ones.

Okay, maybe they fit three or four simple patterns, but we’re talking some pretty radical extremes of feeling: are you happy, are you sad? Did you dump or were you dumped? Do you want them back or do you never want to see them again?īreakup anthems are complicated things that run the full gamut of emotion. I replace cafés with crowded bars and empty roads with broken bottlesĪnd this town is healing me slowly but still not slow or fast enough because there’s no right way to do this.Breakups songs don’t fit one simple pattern, because breakups don’t fit one simple pattern. Maybe you thought my insides would fit better this way, look better this way, to you and us and all the rest.

Because if I don't do it now, I never will.'Īnd I still don’t know which month it was then

But I wasn’t that brave or honest, so all I did was look at him. I would say it, so he would know it and I would know it, and I could never take it back. I looked at him, and I thought, 'If I was very brave or very honest, I would tell him.' Maybe this was why I came, so I could really know. I felt it in the pit of my stomach, the familiar ache, that lost, regretful feeling only he could give me. I couldn’t even be mad at him, because this was who he was.

No person in this world is selfless enough to voluntarily give up being with the person they love and care about, and if you think otherwise, there is a bridge over Brooklyn I would like to sell you.
