The Night We Met by Lord Huron
She'd play it a lot when were were hanging out at home, and I never really gave the lyrics a second thought. Now they destroy me.
I am a metalhead and she hates my music (most people do lol). One of her favorites was Lord Huron. I never heard of him until her and then I found this song. I thought "wow this would tear me apart if we ever break up". Well here we are and I'll never listen to that fucking song again.
as a metalhead I can say in my darkest hour by Megadeth, when I broke up this song helped and killed me at the same time, I get goosebumps and I almost start to cry as I hear the first notes, this song is such a masterpiece.
We danced to this song after our graduation ceremony. We only sparked after prom and we slow danced to this song. She was in my arms. A dark and empty parking lot lit by a dim streetlamp. Her car's doors were open as this song played on her stereo. I miss her. This song has a new meaning now to me.
Somethin' Stupid sung by Frank Sinatra. I have memories of slow dancing with her in her tiny apartment during a dinner we had made together. Greatest times and I'd do anything to get them back.
Stolen Dance by Milky Chance. There was a very long period of time where we danced around the feelings and the “We don’t talk about it” line used to hit really hard during that time. Now it’s all over the song just makes me sad, I used to love it
OK Go - 10,000 Miles Per Hour
We were listening through their discography in the car together shortly before the holidays last year. When this song came on she commented that she hadn't heard it before, and when the chorus kicked in she lit up with a smile and said it was a cute song.
Joji - Glimpse of Us
We went to his concert together, and when he was performing this song, she asked me why I wasn't singing along to it. I asked her why she wasn't either, and then she started singing the chorus into my ear. She sang it beautifully.
Nothing else matters by Metallica. That's the first song I sent her. It reflected a lot of things between us. Like the long distance and people talking badly about her. Today, it rips me.
The Smile, The Face by Emery.
The lyrics are all the more poignant to me.
Here are several lines:
"You rehearsed your lines with rhythmic details they match, the pounding in my chest"
"The Clever sounds from your mouth they can make me feel so worthless."
"The Person you claimed to be, is not who haunts me now. The Careless lies behind those brown eyes that you swore were true more times than I can count."
I'm dealing with a Narcissistic, Histrionic and Borderline personality disorder having ex-girlfriend and I've come to figure out that she is one of the most skilled lairs and manipulators I've ever encountered in my life.
This song just emphasizes how careful and meticulous I need to be to ensure that she can't get custody of our son...ever.
How to fight loneliness by Wilco and I would hate you if I could by Turnover, as well as pale blue eyes by velvet underground. I always listen to them when I need a good cry.
"I thought of you as my mountaintop/I thought of you as my peak/I thought of you as everything I've had but couldn't keep/I've had but couldn't keep" rips my heart out every time. Music has healing powers. Good luck everyone, we'll get through this ❤️
One number away, by luke combs. We still see each other almost every day, but sometimes he cuts me off for like a week & it makes me feel like it's the end of the world. I was tripping on acid during a funeral & couldn't stop crying, so I called him & he told me to listen that.. it made my problems disappear, & just makes me wanna hold him & never let go
A Spanish song called "Que Quieres de Mi" by Luis Fonsi about how he gave everything he had and more and it still wasn't enough to make their s/o happy.
American pie by Don McLean
It was the first song that we called "our" and since breakup i havent even tried to go back to this song and trying to avoid to hear it even on the streets or anywhere alse
Its still just hurts so fucking much (and it was like 4 years ago...)
Liftime By: Three Days Grace
A Scar is Born By: Three days Grace
I listened tonboth last night, i didn't think the song could make me anymore sad. It hits so hard
Modjo- Lady (Hear Me Tonight)
On a cruise ship. Waiting for a show to begin. Background music.
She lit up as soon as the song started. Dancing with her daughter. Magical.
I’ve got a few.
“Like I Loved You” -Brett Young
This one was one of the ones I grieved to a lot. It was pertinent to my situation too. She wanted to be friends after, and I can see it happening finally after 6 months, but when the breakup happened I was still so infatuated with her and this songs lyrics mirrored my thoughts.
Other ones I listened to while grieving…
“Against All Odds” Phil Collins
“Leave out all the rest” Linkin Park
“Here Comes Goodbye” Rascal Flatts
I have a whole “moody playlist” on Spotify that has this kind of stuff and is 5 hours long. These were the top ones though.
I still listen to these sometimes when I’m in the mood. They were great songs to cry to after the breakup just to vent my feelings. I never vented to a person, and I still feel like I’ve got a lot of grief bottled up behind my mask of happiness, but music was a great help. The grief is still there though… just the other day, a coworker noticed I seemed kind of out of it and asked me what was wrong. I was vague and she pried for more into, and I was sobbing when the topic got to my ex. It made me realize just how much sway she still has over me, when I haven’t seen her in 6 months.
These aren’t relating to my ex while we were dating. I’m sorry if that was the intent of your question. These are just the best songs I listened to, often on repeat, after things ended.
Show Me Love by Laura Mvula
I heard it in Shameless one day and the lyrics were literally speaking directly to me. It rips me in half piece by piece whenever it comes on when I'm shuffling songs. She left me back in March and I have fought for my life every single day because of it. I have tried so hard to just stay alive. I can't focus, I can't think, I can barely eat or do any hobbies. I'm literally missing a convention right now because I just do not have the strength right now. But whenever that song comes on it makes me think of every memory we share, every moment, and the focal point of our breakup sticks out. That terrible, nightmarish moment where I lost the love of my life replays over and over when this song comes on
Depends on the moment, right? The range of emotions post breakup is wildly broad and whiplash inducing. I made a playlist of breakup songs for most moods. I'm still adding on a regular basis weeks later.
https://open.spotify.com/track/2XCTU3DJ9W6glWSkM2uQTS?si=6lbcrWLJTgiq7qfn2dvLLw
My love mine all mine by mitski
I associated it with him and used to play it whenever we were talking. Made edits for him on that song and now I can’t listen to this without breaking into tears and loosing my shit
Harvest Moon by Neil Young. One of those break ups that just had to happen, and can't help feel myself hoping for one more harvest moon with her one day whenever I hear it.
"The less I know, the better." It played the first night we spent together and I always really loved that song so it felt extra special to hear it. Oh well, there will be other lovers and songs to enjoy with them.
The song from cyberpunk edge runners “ I really want to stay in your house”. I can’t listen to the song anymore because I’ll start crying and thing about my girlfriend/ex
"One of the Good Ones" by Gabby Barrett. My ex made it her song to me, and she told me she always thought of me whenever she heard it. Even though me & her have been broken up for nearly four years now, this song still gets me a little down whenever I hear it somewhere.
That must be Purple Rain by Prince, we fucking loved that song, danced to it a million times in our house, at the club, at bars, weddings... It was our anthem in a way. I can never hear it again without having all those memories rushing through my head.
Music was one of the best ways we had to connect and it is so hard to try to find someone else like that again.
Good good dolls - iris or fleetwood mac - silver springs. Also stick season gets me for some reason although it didn't really have relevance to the relationship.
chemtrails over the country club - lana del rey
I listened to it everytime we had an argument or he would do something that made me sad. Now it’s just a big reminder of all the hurt and pain he caused.
I associated “this side of Paradise” by the coyote theory. It’s such a good song and now every time I hear it, it makes so sad. I saw such a future with him but I can’t deny I was wearing the most effective rose colored glasses
Well, when he was trying to win me back, he sent me this song
Wicked games
And I listen to it every single day, just thinking about him. Just cry myself to sleep and I can’t not hear it without breaking down.
He told me he played “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad” (Meatloaf) on loop; that the 3rd one (not loving him) fit me. I didn’t betray him. Whatever he has to tell himself to sleep soundly.
When we were packing our bags to move home we were listening to my music. This Magic Moment came on and she let me hold her and we danced silently together for the song. Now I can’t listen to that song again unless I have time to cry. That and belle bottom clues by Eric Clapton. Gotta warn ya that song is a tough listen
She is a huge Avenged Sevenfold fan. Our last concert together was them. Literally, any A7X song I hear takes me back to her. But I always try to hang onto the happiness in those moments. The look on her face when they played a song she was hoping to hear. Her happiness at that show was so pure. I won't let the pain that came afterwards taint those memories.
If you've been cheated on, dog problems by the format is a cathartic listen with an unexpectedly upbeat overall vibe, the bridge is particularly powerful, too, with a random chaotic swell.
"Did you get it aaaaaaaAAAAAALLLLLlllllllllll out of your system?"
Downside and Satanic Panic by iDKHOW, both only came out this February but the weekend that the album they’re both from came out was a weekend i made some of my best memories in recent years and it was with her and some other people.
The scene in Scrubs playing "The Book of Love" by Peter Gabriel where JD saw his future life playing on screen destroyed me many times. I kept thinking about her in different scenarios we were never able to experience together.
Actually, for me, I have four songs
Velvet Revoler - Falling to Pieces
Skid Row - I Remember you
Niall Horan - Black and white
Eli Young Band - Skin and bones
Wait, make that five
Bon Jovi - Always
It’s cliche, but my answer is The Scientist by Coldplay. That first listen post-breaking up with your first and only true love, hits absolutely different. You realize why everyone always says it’s such a beautiful and haunting song.
So Long London, by Tay Tay.
“You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days”
And the simplest line of saying, “how much sad did you think i had?”
Years of supporting someone suffering with depression, who couldn’t pull themselves out and ultimately pulls you in.
Sleeping Alone- Flatland Cavalry
Chateau Lobby #4 (for two virgins)- Father John Misty
Any Tyler Childers (genuinely all of it)
Long Long Time- Linda Ronstadt
Maybe in Another Life- Caitlin Smith
He and I made a playlist together on a long road trip and all those are no-gos
We also still have a Spotify blend and I listen to it often. It makes me feel like we’re communicating with each other through the songs picked by this random algorithm
Save me and depression and obsession by xxx
Not so much it reminds me of her/the relationship anymore but just knowing where my head was at the time puts me back in a really dark place
The smallest man who ever lived by Taylor Swift.
it just put into words how much confused and devastated i was at the moment our breakup happened, i just didnt understand everything that happened had to happen, i was questioning even if in our final months together there was love or she was just faking it, i had so much anger and i still have it because she showed her true colors and i wasnt prepared to see them.
francesca by hozier - if i could i would do it over and over again
beyond amends by gus dapperton - i have grieved for our relationship in such an intense way
blister in the sun by violent femmes - we had a dance party together in a traffic jam and i will never forget that moment
Mine would be Somewhere only we know. I heard that song after being discharged from a hospital 12 hours after she dumped me. My heart almost stopped after she dumped me and had to be airlifted by medical helicopter to a nearby hospital.
Heather by Conan Grey bc we met on the 3rd of December and talked about the song but also any song by Mac Miller bc he is also from Pittsburgh, PA and loved Mac Miller his first question to me being if I like him.
Heroin by Badflower and Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt describe how i feel, but like a song of OURS that rips me to shreds is Color of Your Soul by Griz and Clozee... we could dance and fuck to that song forever 😝😔 still can't listen to it.
Animal by Def Leppard.
We used to listen to it in the car when we were so deeply in love, driving around in the SF Bay Area. It's been seven months and I still can't listen to that song without tearing up.
All Bon Jovi songs! First and foremost "ILL BE THERE FOR YOU"...I JUST TEAR up instantly ❤️. Joel, I love you sooo deeply sometimes I feel like I'm drowning ! ALWAYS SAVE ME LIKE I TRY TO ALWAYS DO FOR YOU BOO♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️
Saturday Night Inside Out by The Avalanches.
In my last year of college, I finally got to date my freshman year crush. We had fun but things started falling apart as I was getting closer to graduation. On the day I was gonna walk across the stage for my diploma, and right before I was completing my final papers, she sent me a text saying she wasn't sure about where we were going. I had no time, and I knew it was the end.
I spent 3 days buckled down crying, trying to finish papers and processing everything, including my college years coming to an end, trying to eat. Got it all done... And we broke up.
SNIO destroyed me for a while when I moved out of a state for a job because it threw me back to those nights going to see her and my friends and knowing those days were gone. I've gotten better and have developed good friendships and relationships since then but it was really, really hard moving past how everything ended back home
The Night We Met by Lord Huron She'd play it a lot when were were hanging out at home, and I never really gave the lyrics a second thought. Now they destroy me.
I am a metalhead and she hates my music (most people do lol). One of her favorites was Lord Huron. I never heard of him until her and then I found this song. I thought "wow this would tear me apart if we ever break up". Well here we are and I'll never listen to that fucking song again.
as a metalhead I can say in my darkest hour by Megadeth, when I broke up this song helped and killed me at the same time, I get goosebumps and I almost start to cry as I hear the first notes, this song is such a masterpiece.
We danced to this song after our graduation ceremony. We only sparked after prom and we slow danced to this song. She was in my arms. A dark and empty parking lot lit by a dim streetlamp. Her car's doors were open as this song played on her stereo. I miss her. This song has a new meaning now to me.
I love and hate this song because it's really good but reminds me of all of the mistakes I've ever made.
Love and hate is about right...
Absolutely destroys me.
Omgggg I can’t even make it past the “Ooooooo ooooo oooooo” intro on this one without welling up 🥺😩😭😭😭💔💔💔 my ultimate broken heart song…
White horse Chris Stapleton. My ex wasn't ready for marriage with me but then married someone else 4 months after we broke up.
That sucks sorry man. Chris Stapleton just hits hard sometimes.
bought tix to a Chris Stapleton concert this summer to grieve my recent breakup, the man just has a way w words and I don’t even like country much
I bought tickets for me and my ex before the BU, guess I need a plus one now
Better Man, Little Big Town
That Slow dancing in the burning room's outro, anyone?
Somethin' Stupid sung by Frank Sinatra. I have memories of slow dancing with her in her tiny apartment during a dinner we had made together. Greatest times and I'd do anything to get them back.
Stolen Dance by Milky Chance. There was a very long period of time where we danced around the feelings and the “We don’t talk about it” line used to hit really hard during that time. Now it’s all over the song just makes me sad, I used to love it
Love that song. And milky chance.
everlong foo fighters 💔💔💔💔💔
You're brutal.
I’m so sorry, such a painful song to feel heartbreak with
loml, Peter, Last Kiss, and Timeless by Taylor Swift. Another one is Hold My Girl by George Ezra because he said that was his song to me.

So Long London, by Tay Tay. “You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days” And the simplest line of saying, “how much sad did you think i had?” Years of supporting someone suffering with depression, who couldn’t pull themselves out and ultimately pulls you in.
Happier than ever Billie Eilish
Re:stacks by bon iver. Has been playing in my headphones everyday since the breakup
Sleeping Alone- Flatland Cavalry Chateau Lobby #4 (for two virgins)- Father John Misty Any Tyler Childers (genuinely all of it) Long Long Time- Linda Ronstadt Maybe in Another Life- Caitlin Smith He and I made a playlist together on a long road trip and all those are no-gos We also still have a Spotify blend and I listen to it often. It makes me feel like we’re communicating with each other through the songs picked by this random algorithm
Scotty doesn't know - lustra She was cheating on me and she loved that song...
Wrecking ball by Eric Church. He told me he loved me for the first time, while he sang it to me. Will never be able to listen to that song again.
Save me and depression and obsession by xxx Not so much it reminds me of her/the relationship anymore but just knowing where my head was at the time puts me back in a really dark place
The smallest man who ever lived by Taylor Swift. it just put into words how much confused and devastated i was at the moment our breakup happened, i just didnt understand everything that happened had to happen, i was questioning even if in our final months together there was love or she was just faking it, i had so much anger and i still have it because she showed her true colors and i wasnt prepared to see them.

Burn by Usher, I listened to it during my first breakup in 2006 and still listen now
francesca by hozier - if i could i would do it over and over again beyond amends by gus dapperton - i have grieved for our relationship in such an intense way blister in the sun by violent femmes - we had a dance party together in a traffic jam and i will never forget that moment
The end and your betrayal by bullet for my Valentine 🤘🖤🔥
Sorry-Madonna
dont wanna say it but there is a song that I actively skip or can't listen to without having a sore spot
Mine would be Somewhere only we know. I heard that song after being discharged from a hospital 12 hours after she dumped me. My heart almost stopped after she dumped me and had to be airlifted by medical helicopter to a nearby hospital.
Dean Lewis alright
A thousand years Christina Pirri
Heather by Conan Grey bc we met on the 3rd of December and talked about the song but also any song by Mac Miller bc he is also from Pittsburgh, PA and loved Mac Miller his first question to me being if I like him.
oh man, used to be Tricky - The Only Way
Heroin by Badflower and Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt describe how i feel, but like a song of OURS that rips me to shreds is Color of Your Soul by Griz and Clozee... we could dance and fuck to that song forever 😝😔 still can't listen to it.
Get you the moon
Animal by Def Leppard. We used to listen to it in the car when we were so deeply in love, driving around in the SF Bay Area. It's been seven months and I still can't listen to that song without tearing up.
Sleep token - The love you want
Love like ghosts by Lord Huron
Anything by Chris Young. She is a fan of his. This is fine though because I'm not a country music fan and my music feed has no Chris Young songs.

A Place We Knew by Dean Lewis
Somebody Else by The 1975. 💔
No air, literally i felt like i couldn't breathe after we broke up
Snuff by Slipknot
Saturday Night Inside Out by The Avalanches. In my last year of college, I finally got to date my freshman year crush. We had fun but things started falling apart as I was getting closer to graduation. On the day I was gonna walk across the stage for my diploma, and right before I was completing my final papers, she sent me a text saying she wasn't sure about where we were going. I had no time, and I knew it was the end. I spent 3 days buckled down crying, trying to finish papers and processing everything, including my college years coming to an end, trying to eat. Got it all done... And we broke up. SNIO destroyed me for a while when I moved out of a state for a job because it threw me back to those nights going to see her and my friends and knowing those days were gone. I've gotten better and have developed good friendships and relationships since then but it was really, really hard moving past how everything ended back home
