If you’re going through a breakup, or just feel like crying on your way to work, don’t worry! We’ve got you covered with some of the most iconic breakup songs, some of which you may have forgotten about. Whether you’re single or about to be, these songs will definitely strike a chord with you.
“Breakeven”: The Script
The Script’s breakout hit “Breakeven” managed to break hearts that weren’t even broken. This is just one of many sad songs the band has produced about breakups, but this one seems to stick because the saying is true: “When a heart breaks it doesn’t break even.”
“The Night We Met”: Lord Huron
Huron’s love song is hauntingly beautiful, whimsical, and melodic, bringing back memories we may not have known we had. It’s reminiscent of a lost love, the memories we cherish, and the desire to go back in time.
“Ceilings”: Lizzie McAlpine
The lyrics are simple and the message is straightforward, and yet this song still leaves you breathless long after it’s over. Perhaps it is McAlpine’s melancholic vocals that make the song transcendent. Either way, you’ll be reaching for the tissue box.
“Apologize”: One Republic
This song takes us back to the early 2000s and yet still feels timeless. The band’s prolific sound is like no other in this track, evoking feelings of betrayal and regret. The violin solo really hits differently too.
“You Found Me”: The Frey
This song cuts deep, and really evokes the emotions of feeling all alone, and yelling “Where were you when everything was falling apart?!” This song was beyond its time and is the perfect song to cry to in the car.
