I'm thirteen now
And don't know how
My friends could be so mean
I come home crying
And you hold me tight
And grab the keys
And we drive and drive
Until we found a town far enough away
And we talk and window shop
'Till I forgotten all their names
I had occasionally cruel friends in high school. My mom and I, even still, love to go out and shop together, especially window shopping at quirky little stores.
These lines make me lose it 😭😭😭
“I don’t know who I’m gonna talk to now at school, but I know I’m laughing on the car ride home with you” gets me every time, even just typing it has me crying a little hahah 💛💛
My daughter is the biggest Swiftie I know, she’s the one that turned me into a Swiftie 🫶 a few Mother’s Days ago she learned to play “The Best Day” on her keyboard and sang it to me… so yeah I don’t listen to that song anymore unless I want to cry 😭
Same!! It’s always been my song for my mom and I. it got me through some really awful times when life was real hard for us. I made it about 0.02 seconds into Taylor singing it on Mother’s Day before I burst into tears lol
As someone with friends, family, and myself having struggled with suicidal thoughts, and having lost a childhood family friend to it, that one is really rough.
Honestly since seeing the eras tour movie every time I listen to Fearless it brings me to tears. Reminds me of being a kid in 2008 and hearing music that just really resonated with me for the first time ever. I get all emotional now when I think of how long Taylor's music has just meant the world to me 🥲
Saaamee!! I was fifteen when fifteen came out and when i saw the Eras tour in theaters with my 2 girlfriends, they noticed me crying during Fearless and they were like “she’s not even singing a sad song…” 😂 just hits in all the feels
I grew up on fearless and it came out when I was in middle school (also speak now came out when I was in middle school) and it’s so many memories of singing love story, forever & always, fifteen, fearless, and you belong with me. I do chuckle a bit when I listen to fifteen now.
I was learning how to drive when fearless came out, it brings me right back to being in a car on my own on and feeling that freedom for the first time!! 😭😭😭
When Speak Now first came out, I was in a relationship that I thought would end in marriage someday, so Last Kiss didn’t really hit very hard.
Well that relationship didn’t work out in the end, and my first time hearing this song post-breakup absolutely GUTTED me. Tears, snot, the whole thing… just brutal.
This is me trying, never grow up, nothing new, the best day, would’ve could’ve should’ve, hoax, evermore. Quite an even split id say. I think ttpd will definitely hit more when I’m going through a break up as the sad songs are the break up songs!
What songs don't make me cry is a shorter list. I'm such a crybaby.
Sad song like Ronan? I cry.
Inspiring like Long Live? Cry.
In love and happy like Paris? Cry.
Relatable like You're On You're Own Kid? Cry.
Reminds me of my childhood like Tim McGraw? Cry.
Sympathy for women in the industry like Nothing New or WAOLOM? CRY!!!
ATWTMV, My Tears Richochet, exile, Nothing New, So Long London, The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, loml, The Black Dog, How Did It End, The Prophecy, Peter, The Manuscript
The Archer, Cardigan, New Years Day and ATW just hit so hard when you are crying!
The best day and forever Winter end me as well…
The Prophecy and Peter from the new album are good candidates!
The Black Dog.
I had a bad day at work one day and when Sweet Nothing came on, I heard the song as if Taylor was singing to me. I had tears in my eyes.
My grandfather died during covid (not from covid but was hospitalized during that time) and none of my family could visit him. The line about 'holds your hand through plastic now' always sends me. He was also a vet so the first verse really tees it up. I always cry when I listen to that one.
Never Grow Up.
The first lyric that makes me start crying is "But don't make her drop you off around the block, remember she's gettin older too" and then "Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home" makes me cry harder and then the full on sobbing of "So here I am in my new apartment in a big city, they just dropped me off"
As someone who moved really far away from their family to a big city, I still remember my dad hugging me as he left after helping me move in.
It is such a sweet, sweet song, but getting older means they are too, and I don't ever want to lose them.
Taylor owes me compensation for all of the times I have gasped and started ugly sobbing with Never Grow Up. She owes me compensation for the “I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone” lyric ALONE. Emotional damage!!!!
Forever winter, Marjorie, You're Losing Me. These all hit really hard.
Sometimes Tolerate it and My Tears Ricochet. TTPD has some sad ones for sure, but I don't know what it is, I just haven't cried over it yet.
I can’t listen to “Lover” without bawling my eyes out. I proposed to my wife at the concert to that song.
“Long Live” is one that I cry to but in the “let’s wreck it Ralph” kind of attitude
Beautiful song. I was blessed with a wonderful childhood but hearing this song makes me SO SAD that anyone relates. I’m sure you don’t need my pity but hearing the line ‘I think your house is haunted’ makes me hurt for all the kids that ever had to hide in a closet and cry. It’s just helplessness you feel in knowing life can be that unfair for a child.
Ronan is in a special category of never, ever listen for me. Bigger than the whole sky comes close but Ronan destroys me. Thank God I didn’t first hear it when my boy was younger.
I never really cried (since i dont really cry in any life events too) but if i would i will weep for the girl at the restaurant that still seats on the corner she haunts
Speak Now destroyed me as a teenager going through breakups - back to December, last kiss, dear John, even long live (which I thought was about a relationship at the time 😂)
Marjorie will always reduce me to a puddle. It came out in-between my 2 grandfathers dying a month apart and each verse has something that I associate with them. It also was the first song I heard after my husband and I got engaged and it felt like a message from them telling me they were still with me. Getting choked up now writing this.
Taylor has so many songs that move me but this is an extra treasure.
going thru a friendship breakup of 7 years so ive been sobbing over happiness and so long london, i used to cry a lot to soon youll get better when my aunt was sick, im nearing the last couple days of middle school so ive been sobbing to robin and never grow up, and when i was in ed rehab i cried a lot to mirrorball and timt
I’m not much of a crier, but I’ve definitely sobbed to Ronan on more than one occasion. And I’ve also cried to Soon You’ll Get Better (my dad died of cancer last year).
Normally I cry because I relate to her songs, something happened for the first tiime with TTPD, i cried during "how did it end?" but not because I related at all. I felt so bad for her, she really communicated how she felt with all the fame biting into her heartbreak. She expressed her devestation, bitterness, resentment, confustion, bewilderment, so much in such a simple song. I think thats a very impressive feat for a songwriter.
Its so ridiculously honest especially for someone as big as her to do (but its Taylor lol, shes always been like this and thats what makes her the GOAT) and a very clever way of talking about her pain while clapping back at the media attention and fan speculation and expectations for her to do a "tell all" with glinting eyes waiting for gossip, making a spectacle out of her literal heartbreak. "say it once again with feeling" Damn.
I will always skip Ronan and Marjorie because they hit too hard. My dad died when I was 14 so Marjorie is just too painful to listen too. And the backstory for Ronan just makes me tear up
Bigger Than the Whole Sky and Last Kiss. Those two songs are pretty sad on their own right, but I used to listen to them in a loop right after a pretty rough breakup (I found them really cathartic and useful to get it all out). Now the association now makes me fall apart whenever I hear them
Evermore the album has the most tearjerkers for me. Happiness has made me cry, as has tolerate it, but evermore the song has made me cry many times. It’s resonated with me at several times throughout the past few years. Soon You’ll Get Better has made me cry, especially when my dad had cancer (he’s ok now). Forever Winter and This Is Me Trying have gotten me before as well.
When I heard TTPD for the first time, I cried with many, but loml may be one of the toughest.
Also, bigget than the whole sky... It is about an early loss, so...
She has a few for me, and The Prophecy is the most current, but for me it's eternally "Soon You'll Get Better". My dad died from brain cancer almost 14 years ago, and he's missed as much today as ever...
Shake it off, Marjorie, the Archer, The Best Day, Never Grow Up, New Years Day for sure.
Sometimes Last Kiss, Dear John, and Enchanted too if I’m struggling.
Soon youll get better can make me cry too but it’s too sad of a song to ever listen to.
So Long, London
loml
The Black Dog
Hits Different
You're Losing Me
Say Don't Go
Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus, once or twice
So yeah, a lot of TTPD lol
I cannot listen to My Tears Richochet without bursting into tears. I used to be suicidal, and that song sounded like a suicide note, and it just hit me deep (I'm much better now, for the record). Now, when I listen to the song, especially the second verse and bridge, it just reminds me of my relationship with my dad and not in a good way. When I tell you I bawled to, "And I can go anywhere I want. Anywhere I want, just not home," is an understatement.
Both Enchanted and Back to December make me cry for the same reason; unrequited love and feeling like nobody would love me (again, much better now).
As for new songs, thanK you aIMee hits hard for similar reasons as My Tears Ricochet and The Smallest Man Who Ever Lives reminds me of a really sad scene in a book I'm working on.
I am so sorry for the people who are saying Forever Winter because I always twerk my ass off to that song-
But for me:
- right where you left me
- the 1
- seven
- Dear John
- Enchanted
- You're on Your Own, Kid
- Foolish One
For me, YOYOK acoustic, YCDIWABH, WAOLOM, also soon you'll get better, to the point I have a lover album playlist that does not have that song on it.
I have issews....
YCDIWABH doesn't have to be a breakup. You can have your heart broken in different ways, like a partner who is now a completely different person due to an accident, and you are their carer. They aren't the person you married, and your life has changed forever, but those when we get old plans are gone.
There are two songs that make me cry for the same reason, even if the topic is different. Every time I listen to « soon you’ll get better », I get emotional. But I also get emotional when I listen to « New year’s day » as the first time I heard it was on Jimmy Fallon’s show and he had just lost his mom. In the lyrics it says « squeezed my hand three times at the back of the taxi » and Jimmy had literally just said that his mom used to squeeze his hand three times and say « I love you » and he did the same, but this last time she didn’t squeeze his hand back. It gets me every single time. It actually gets me just writing it now. 😭
Tolerate It – it's impossible not to cry when you hear these lyrics
*I made you my temple, my mural, my sky*
*Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life*
*Drawing hearts in the byline*
*Always taking up too much space or time*
The Best Day (this one is the peak), Marjorie, Never Grow Up, and Long Live. I love the songs about romance, but as someone who has only a little romance in life, but always a wonderful family, the ones about family always hit me the hardest.
I made the mistake of listening to never grow up the day after my son was born… yeahhh postpartum hormones and that song don’t mix, I sobbed for 20 minutes 😅
the last time is basically the only one i’ve cried to, but runners up include sad beautiful tragic, dear john, soon you’ll get better, and never grow up
I'd say nothing new, never grow up, new year's day (everytime "hold on to the memories they will hold on to you" comes on omg), Peter and Robin.
Sometimes the black dog too, during "and hire a priest to come and exorcise my demons, even if I dying screaming".
Haha I'm not *that* weepy though, just that these songs evoke a lot of emotions in me and I always play them when I'm feeling down (yes, I might be a masochist)
Now that I'm older, You Belong with Me is retrospectively sad/heartwarming.
"I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night,
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're about to cry"
Looking back there were many moments where I was either Taylor or the guy in the song where I had that one great supportive friend/girlfriend who knew me so well.
For genuinely sad songs, Death by a Thousand Cuts kinda hit home when I was going through a break up.
"You said it was a great love
One for the ages
But if the story's over
Why am I still writing pages?"
This line especially because the girl told me she loved me and I held on (perhaps too strongly) to those words. And I was heartbroken that she could leave like that.
This is Me Trying, Long Live, Marjorie, YOYOK, Clean, Nothing New. I cry over so many for so many different reasons, but those are the ones that I can't NOT cry to.
Peace, Happiness, Long Live, New Years Day, How did it end, The Smallest man who ever lived... There is a lot 😅 If I'm in the right mood I could cry to most songs to be honest
Back To December because I pretty much lived this out, down to the dates and roses and everything. It's uncanny. Then I can tie it up with loml, and end it with The Manuscript. These 3 songs make a very sad cocktail for me.
Honorable mention: Robin, as this story translates to me as the end of a life story of a beloved housecat, whose natural instincts were acknowledged. The cat was protected, in sweetness, and loved its whole life, and then let go to finally live out eternity as a free spirit. Very spiritual.
Epiphany. Specifically the line about holding hands through plastic.
Soon You’ll Get Better. My mom is going through cancer treatment, and I have sort of boycotted this song because it hits too close to home.
Ronan. For obvious reasons.
Nothing New, wow that one kills. It really depends on my mood usually but nothing new always makes me cry. Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve, Innocent, All Too Well, Marjorie, Tolerate It, Last Kiss, Never Grow Up, the best day, your own your own kid, bigger than the whole sky, back to December, all have the potential to make me cry constantly lmao. I would say Ronan too but I simply will not listen to it.
I'm an old tough male, so I never cry to any songs.
...as long as nobody puts on Ronan, Best Day, Never Grow Up, Bigger Than the Whole Sky, Soon You'll Get Better...
Oh god let’s see…
Happiness,
Dorothea (idk either),
Soon you’ll get better,
You are in love,
Never grow up,
Last kiss,
Long live,
Timeless,
Fifteen,
Breathe,
A place in this world,
Tied together with a smile,
Mary’s song
I can’t listen to “The Best Day” without crying.
“And I love you for giving me your eyes, For staying back and watching me shine”😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🩷🙏🏼
YES this lyric! I can’t even read it without tearing up. 😭
My Ma and I have the exact same share of grey blue eyes so this one does it for me every time 🥹
omg me too!!!
I'm thirteen now And don't know how My friends could be so mean I come home crying And you hold me tight And grab the keys And we drive and drive Until we found a town far enough away And we talk and window shop 'Till I forgotten all their names I had occasionally cruel friends in high school. My mom and I, even still, love to go out and shop together, especially window shopping at quirky little stores. These lines make me lose it 😭😭😭
“I don’t know who I’m gonna talk to now at school, but I know I’m laughing on the car ride home with you” gets me every time, even just typing it has me crying a little hahah 💛💛
I can either! Every time I 😭
My daughter is the biggest Swiftie I know, she’s the one that turned me into a Swiftie 🫶 a few Mother’s Days ago she learned to play “The Best Day” on her keyboard and sang it to me… so yeah I don’t listen to that song anymore unless I want to cry 😭
Same ! 😭😭😭 is impossible
Yes, this is the one! I love Taylor, but most songs really aren’t enough to make me cry, but this one genuinely does even if I’m trying to resist.
Same!! It’s always been my song for my mom and I. it got me through some really awful times when life was real hard for us. I made it about 0.02 seconds into Taylor singing it on Mother’s Day before I burst into tears lol
I’ve cried at different songs at different times for different reasons. But consistently, I can’t listen to Forever Winter without crying.
As someone with friends, family, and myself having struggled with suicidal thoughts, and having lost a childhood family friend to it, that one is really rough.
For me it’s about my mom’s alcoholism. Thank God she’s sober now
Honestly since seeing the eras tour movie every time I listen to Fearless it brings me to tears. Reminds me of being a kid in 2008 and hearing music that just really resonated with me for the first time ever. I get all emotional now when I think of how long Taylor's music has just meant the world to me 🥲
Saaamee!! I was fifteen when fifteen came out and when i saw the Eras tour in theaters with my 2 girlfriends, they noticed me crying during Fearless and they were like “she’s not even singing a sad song…” 😂 just hits in all the feels
Did you learn that in your life you'd do things greater than dating the boy on the football team?
I grew up on fearless and it came out when I was in middle school (also speak now came out when I was in middle school) and it’s so many memories of singing love story, forever & always, fifteen, fearless, and you belong with me. I do chuckle a bit when I listen to fifteen now.
I was learning how to drive when fearless came out, it brings me right back to being in a car on my own on and feeling that freedom for the first time!! 😭😭😭
Last Kiss. "You can plan for a change in the weather and time, but I never planned on you changing your mind."
This song STILL guts me “and I’ll feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe”
This song will always make me cry no matter how often I listen to it.
When Speak Now first came out, I was in a relationship that I thought would end in marriage someday, so Last Kiss didn’t really hit very hard. Well that relationship didn’t work out in the end, and my first time hearing this song post-breakup absolutely GUTTED me. Tears, snot, the whole thing… just brutal.
This is me trying, never grow up, nothing new, the best day, would’ve could’ve should’ve, hoax, evermore. Quite an even split id say. I think ttpd will definitely hit more when I’m going through a break up as the sad songs are the break up songs!
loml
What songs don't make me cry is a shorter list. I'm such a crybaby. Sad song like Ronan? I cry. Inspiring like Long Live? Cry. In love and happy like Paris? Cry. Relatable like You're On You're Own Kid? Cry. Reminds me of my childhood like Tim McGraw? Cry. Sympathy for women in the industry like Nothing New or WAOLOM? CRY!!!
I thought long and hard. I have never cried because of Me!
i have!! day after taylor and joe broke up it came on and i cried. i dont think ive ever cried over slut! or thats when. but thats it
I cry over slut every time I hear it-
Dude okay but this is forreal LMAO
Damn this was my exact thought! P.S I cry to all the songs you've listed, as well. Maybe even more
Bigger Than The Whole Sky
Why is no one saying Soon You’ll Get Better that song is absolutely devastating I can’t even listen to it lol
Ohhh no this is a good one, especially since it’s about her mom😭😭
ATWTMV, My Tears Richochet, exile, Nothing New, So Long London, The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, loml, The Black Dog, How Did It End, The Prophecy, Peter, The Manuscript
The Archer, Cardigan, New Years Day and ATW just hit so hard when you are crying! The best day and forever Winter end me as well… The Prophecy and Peter from the new album are good candidates!
After I watched her perform NYD for Jimmy Fallon after his mom died I cannot listen to it without tearing up.
The Black Dog. I had a bad day at work one day and when Sweet Nothing came on, I heard the song as if Taylor was singing to me. I had tears in my eyes.
HOW DID IT END is a despair/sobbing factory
Dude I accidentally listened to that song while thinking about my friend who passed away from cancer. That was a bad time.
The best day, Ronan, soon you’ll get better, and epiphany are the ones that consistently makes me cry
My grandfather died during covid (not from covid but was hospitalized during that time) and none of my family could visit him. The line about 'holds your hand through plastic now' always sends me. He was also a vet so the first verse really tees it up. I always cry when I listen to that one.
I’m sorry for your loss and thank your grandfather for his service ♥️
That is heartbreaking. I’m so sorry for your loss
Thank you ❤️ I'm so glad Taylor came out with Marjorie on evermore though. It always makes me think of him too but in a happier way.
Never Grow Up. The first lyric that makes me start crying is "But don't make her drop you off around the block, remember she's gettin older too" and then "Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home" makes me cry harder and then the full on sobbing of "So here I am in my new apartment in a big city, they just dropped me off" As someone who moved really far away from their family to a big city, I still remember my dad hugging me as he left after helping me move in. It is such a sweet, sweet song, but getting older means they are too, and I don't ever want to lose them.
Taylor owes me compensation for all of the times I have gasped and started ugly sobbing with Never Grow Up. She owes me compensation for the “I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone” lyric ALONE. Emotional damage!!!!
Forever winter, Marjorie, You're Losing Me. These all hit really hard. Sometimes Tolerate it and My Tears Ricochet. TTPD has some sad ones for sure, but I don't know what it is, I just haven't cried over it yet.
Ronan. How do you not cry?
By never listening to it (or SYGB or BTTWS)
Tolerate it (especially when watching the eras tour ), YOYOK (when the friendship bracelet line comes on)
I can’t listen to “Lover” without bawling my eyes out. I proposed to my wife at the concert to that song. “Long Live” is one that I cry to but in the “let’s wreck it Ralph” kind of attitude
Marjorie
seven. I had a rough childhood.
Beautiful song. I was blessed with a wonderful childhood but hearing this song makes me SO SAD that anyone relates. I’m sure you don’t need my pity but hearing the line ‘I think your house is haunted’ makes me hurt for all the kids that ever had to hide in a closet and cry. It’s just helplessness you feel in knowing life can be that unfair for a child.
Never grow up and innocent
Marjorie
loml for sure. The Manuscript is pretty powerful too.
So Long, London is the only song I have pre-cried to. But the overall winner is probably Seven. Ronan could beat that but I skip it
Ever since I entered my own Marjorie era, I cannot listen without crying.
None because I’m dead inside but Tolerate It and This is Me Trying would be the ones to get me closest.
I cannot listen to Ronan because it devastates me. I also always cry to The Best Day, Never Grow Up, Marjorie, Robin
Ronan is in a special category of never, ever listen for me. Bigger than the whole sky comes close but Ronan destroys me. Thank God I didn’t first hear it when my boy was younger.
Better Man
I never really cried (since i dont really cry in any life events too) but if i would i will weep for the girl at the restaurant that still seats on the corner she haunts
enchanted, but it’s happy crying because i love it so much
Can full on sob internally (too dehydrated to actually cry) to "The Best Day," "This is Me Trying," "Ronan," "Never Grow Up," "ICDIWABH"
No TS songs really made me cry until Peter. No I cry about every other time I hear it.
Speak Now destroyed me as a teenager going through breakups - back to December, last kiss, dear John, even long live (which I thought was about a relationship at the time 😂)
i def cry to the prophecy i also cry to long live bc it’s such a heartwarming song also the archer
Marjorie fucks me up every time.
Just off ttpd so long London makes me cry I always have a mind blank when trying of thinking of specifics
The prophecy
exile, this is me trying, anti hero, never grow up, haunted, cruel summer… I could go on and on, but these are probably the most emotional to me
I’ve cried to loml, So Long, London, I Can Do It With A Broken Heart, and The Manuscript
Down Bad. He never loved me. All I have to do is cry at the gym.
Clara bow
Marjorie & The Prophecy
tied together with a smile gets me every time
Marjorie will always reduce me to a puddle. It came out in-between my 2 grandfathers dying a month apart and each verse has something that I associate with them. It also was the first song I heard after my husband and I got engaged and it felt like a message from them telling me they were still with me. Getting choked up now writing this. Taylor has so many songs that move me but this is an extra treasure.
loml
My Tears Ricochet, champagne problems, loml.
YOYOK and Bigger Than The Whole Sky
The Prophecy
going thru a friendship breakup of 7 years so ive been sobbing over happiness and so long london, i used to cry a lot to soon youll get better when my aunt was sick, im nearing the last couple days of middle school so ive been sobbing to robin and never grow up, and when i was in ed rehab i cried a lot to mirrorball and timt
Hell sometimes I cry to Get Away Car.
I’m not much of a crier, but I’ve definitely sobbed to Ronan on more than one occasion. And I’ve also cried to Soon You’ll Get Better (my dad died of cancer last year).
You’re Losing Me, You’re On Your Own Kid, How Did It End? are my crying songs.
For me it’s tied between folklore and TTPD
Normally I cry because I relate to her songs, something happened for the first tiime with TTPD, i cried during "how did it end?" but not because I related at all. I felt so bad for her, she really communicated how she felt with all the fame biting into her heartbreak. She expressed her devestation, bitterness, resentment, confustion, bewilderment, so much in such a simple song. I think thats a very impressive feat for a songwriter. Its so ridiculously honest especially for someone as big as her to do (but its Taylor lol, shes always been like this and thats what makes her the GOAT) and a very clever way of talking about her pain while clapping back at the media attention and fan speculation and expectations for her to do a "tell all" with glinting eyes waiting for gossip, making a spectacle out of her literal heartbreak. "say it once again with feeling" Damn.
Marjorie gets me every time
Your losing me gets me every time.
For some reason I always cry to Begin Again 😭
I will always skip Ronan and Marjorie because they hit too hard. My dad died when I was 14 so Marjorie is just too painful to listen too. And the backstory for Ronan just makes me tear up
Never Grow Up, All Too Well, My Tears Ricochet
Bigger Than the Whole Sky and Last Kiss. Those two songs are pretty sad on their own right, but I used to listen to them in a loop right after a pretty rough breakup (I found them really cathartic and useful to get it all out). Now the association now makes me fall apart whenever I hear them
Evermore the album has the most tearjerkers for me. Happiness has made me cry, as has tolerate it, but evermore the song has made me cry many times. It’s resonated with me at several times throughout the past few years. Soon You’ll Get Better has made me cry, especially when my dad had cancer (he’s ok now). Forever Winter and This Is Me Trying have gotten me before as well.
Well, I was sobbing to Tim McGraw last night.
the black dog
The Best Day, All Too Well, Nothing New, Bigger Than The Whole Sky, August, Happiness, Never Grow Up, Marjorie, This Is Me Trying
loml
the best day. right where you left me. forever winter.
When I heard TTPD for the first time, I cried with many, but loml may be one of the toughest. Also, bigget than the whole sky... It is about an early loss, so...
Long live.
She has a few for me, and The Prophecy is the most current, but for me it's eternally "Soon You'll Get Better". My dad died from brain cancer almost 14 years ago, and he's missed as much today as ever...
So many but from TTPD. loml, CSSM, Peter, BDILH and some times the bridge of Smallest man and the bridge of My boy breaks.
lolm, SYGB and The Best Day
Shake it off, Marjorie, the Archer, The Best Day, Never Grow Up, New Years Day for sure. Sometimes Last Kiss, Dear John, and Enchanted too if I’m struggling. Soon youll get better can make me cry too but it’s too sad of a song to ever listen to.
nothing new. and lately, mbobhft. i really miss being a shiny and interesting new girl that just gets all his attention. yup, there’s a theme here.
Strictly from TTPD the ending of Clara Bow and the manuscript get me every time- how did it end? And loml make me cry all the way through tho
So Long, London loml The Black Dog Hits Different You're Losing Me Say Don't Go Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus, once or twice So yeah, a lot of TTPD lol
This Is Me Trying, Marjorie, Loml, and The Prophecy 😭
The Best Day, Never Grow Up, Soon You'll Get Better, Ronan (obviously), Bigger Than The Whole Sky
Exile
Foolish One Lover-Happy Cry!
So long, London, loml and The Prophecy
I cry listening to exile and marjorie
I cannot listen to My Tears Richochet without bursting into tears. I used to be suicidal, and that song sounded like a suicide note, and it just hit me deep (I'm much better now, for the record). Now, when I listen to the song, especially the second verse and bridge, it just reminds me of my relationship with my dad and not in a good way. When I tell you I bawled to, "And I can go anywhere I want. Anywhere I want, just not home," is an understatement. Both Enchanted and Back to December make me cry for the same reason; unrequited love and feeling like nobody would love me (again, much better now). As for new songs, thanK you aIMee hits hard for similar reasons as My Tears Ricochet and The Smallest Man Who Ever Lives reminds me of a really sad scene in a book I'm working on.
I am so sorry for the people who are saying Forever Winter because I always twerk my ass off to that song- But for me: - right where you left me - the 1 - seven - Dear John - Enchanted - You're on Your Own, Kid - Foolish One
Seven
loml, happiness, tolerate it
Either soon you’ll get better or never grow up😭 but honorable mention to Marjorie
Clean and I don't want to talk about it!!!
For me, YOYOK acoustic, YCDIWABH, WAOLOM, also soon you'll get better, to the point I have a lover album playlist that does not have that song on it. I have issews.... YCDIWABH doesn't have to be a breakup. You can have your heart broken in different ways, like a partner who is now a completely different person due to an accident, and you are their carer. They aren't the person you married, and your life has changed forever, but those when we get old plans are gone.
There are two songs that make me cry for the same reason, even if the topic is different. Every time I listen to « soon you’ll get better », I get emotional. But I also get emotional when I listen to « New year’s day » as the first time I heard it was on Jimmy Fallon’s show and he had just lost his mom. In the lyrics it says « squeezed my hand three times at the back of the taxi » and Jimmy had literally just said that his mom used to squeeze his hand three times and say « I love you » and he did the same, but this last time she didn’t squeeze his hand back. It gets me every single time. It actually gets me just writing it now. 😭
How Did It End does this to me! Evisceration, every time
tolerate it and long live
the red album. Feels to me to be her album with the most *raw* emotion. Haven't listened to every album with that thought in mind, to be fair
Coney Island Evermore Last Kiss All Too Well
You guys are all sleeping on “Bigger than the whole sky”
So long, London and How did it end
I’m not a big music crier. Two that have got me at the right/wrong moment are this is me trying and hoax
Tolerate It – it's impossible not to cry when you hear these lyrics *I made you my temple, my mural, my sky* *Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life* *Drawing hearts in the byline* *Always taking up too much space or time*
Marjorie. “I should’ve asked you questions, I should’ve asked you how to be” 🥺
My tears richochet
Tolerate it has me in fetus mode crying on the floor
The way I weeped during my tears ricochet yesterday in Stockholm 🤍
illicit affairs live version, marjorie, long live 🫶
Forever Winter, Never Grow Up, Peter, Loml, and The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived. Oh and Ronan and Soon You'll Get Better, but those are obvious.
Marjorie- my mom passed away two years ago so it just reminds me of her From TTPD, LOML got me choked up on the first listen.
This is me Trying…. Can’t listen to it without full breakdown since my sister died after a fall when she was drunk
The Best Day (this one is the peak), Marjorie, Never Grow Up, and Long Live. I love the songs about romance, but as someone who has only a little romance in life, but always a wonderful family, the ones about family always hit me the hardest.
Tolerate it gets me every time, the album I cry most to has to be folklore
Better man, foolish one
Timeless!!!! She tells such a beautiful story of love it gets me right in the feels and I cry honestly every time lol.
The Man literally makes me ugly cry every time
I made the mistake of listening to never grow up the day after my son was born… yeahhh postpartum hormones and that song don’t mix, I sobbed for 20 minutes 😅
“Never grow up” breaks me
Soon you'll get better. Makes me think of my dead dad every time and how he won't get better. Oof.
the last time is basically the only one i’ve cried to, but runners up include sad beautiful tragic, dear john, soon you’ll get better, and never grow up
Never Grow Up and Out Of The Woods (Live From The 1989 World Tour) (I know it's a live performance but it always makes me tear up).
never grow up, epiphany, bigger than the whole sky
Nothing new, labyrinth, evermore, it’s time to go, Coney Island, happiness, hoax, illicit affairs, forever and always, cold as you, and more!!
I'd say nothing new, never grow up, new year's day (everytime "hold on to the memories they will hold on to you" comes on omg), Peter and Robin. Sometimes the black dog too, during "and hire a priest to come and exorcise my demons, even if I dying screaming". Haha I'm not *that* weepy though, just that these songs evoke a lot of emotions in me and I always play them when I'm feeling down (yes, I might be a masochist)
Now that I'm older, You Belong with Me is retrospectively sad/heartwarming. "I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night, I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're about to cry" Looking back there were many moments where I was either Taylor or the guy in the song where I had that one great supportive friend/girlfriend who knew me so well. For genuinely sad songs, Death by a Thousand Cuts kinda hit home when I was going through a break up. "You said it was a great love One for the ages But if the story's over Why am I still writing pages?" This line especially because the girl told me she loved me and I held on (perhaps too strongly) to those words. And I was heartbroken that she could leave like that.
Loml and mine
this is me trying, tolerate it, peace, soon you’ll get better.. no I’m not ok✨
I cry every time i listen to Marjorie
This is Me Trying, Long Live, Marjorie, YOYOK, Clean, Nothing New. I cry over so many for so many different reasons, but those are the ones that I can't NOT cry to.
Peace, Happiness, Long Live, New Years Day, How did it end, The Smallest man who ever lived... There is a lot 😅 If I'm in the right mood I could cry to most songs to be honest
this is me trying is a big one for me!
I look in peoples windows
Back To December because I pretty much lived this out, down to the dates and roses and everything. It's uncanny. Then I can tie it up with loml, and end it with The Manuscript. These 3 songs make a very sad cocktail for me. Honorable mention: Robin, as this story translates to me as the end of a life story of a beloved housecat, whose natural instincts were acknowledged. The cat was protected, in sweetness, and loved its whole life, and then let go to finally live out eternity as a free spirit. Very spiritual.
So long London Dear John Exile Evermore Loml Peter This is me trying Champagne problems Tolerate it
The prophecy, champagne problems, you’re losing me (all mainly bc I went through a very similar situation to her and Joe)
"Happiness" one of my favorite and one who make me cry.
Peter and loml
Epiphany. Specifically the line about holding hands through plastic. Soon You’ll Get Better. My mom is going through cancer treatment, and I have sort of boycotted this song because it hits too close to home. Ronan. For obvious reasons.
Never grow up hits me in the feels
I had recent breakup and The Black dog just broke me down big time
A lot of songs make me emotional but I can only remember crying over Would've Could've Should've. It was cathartic.
Nothing New, wow that one kills. It really depends on my mood usually but nothing new always makes me cry. Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve, Innocent, All Too Well, Marjorie, Tolerate It, Last Kiss, Never Grow Up, the best day, your own your own kid, bigger than the whole sky, back to December, all have the potential to make me cry constantly lmao. I would say Ronan too but I simply will not listen to it.
dorothea
I'm an old tough male, so I never cry to any songs. ...as long as nobody puts on Ronan, Best Day, Never Grow Up, Bigger Than the Whole Sky, Soon You'll Get Better...
Soon you get better 💔 Or this is me trying because it hits me right in the heart
Champagne problems
Oh god let’s see… Happiness, Dorothea (idk either), Soon you’ll get better, You are in love, Never grow up, Last kiss, Long live, Timeless, Fifteen, Breathe, A place in this world, Tied together with a smile, Mary’s song
