The post 5 Breakup Songs to Give You the Feels appeared first on LUX & LUSH.
]]>“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.

This song makes you feel like you’re driving on the edge of the world and into the sunset. It very much feels like the ending credits of a movie, and that’s why we have added it to your playlist so that you could have a main character moment.

This song is the ultimate diss track to all of Taylor’s haters. It’s her unique way of owning the title she is often given due to the media’s criticism of her dating life.

]]>“The Sound”
We’ve put “The Sound” first because it is one of their most popular songs, and perhaps the one that kickstarted their fame. “The Sound” has been around since before the band’s first album came out, and is one of their more poppier songs. The song is upbeat, catchy, and has excellent guitar solos to make you dance. According to the band’s leading man, Matt Healy, “The Sound” is one of their favorites to play live.
“I’m in Love With You”
As hard as it tries not to be, “I’m in Love With You,” is a funky, upbeat love song. It’s one of the band’s more serious songs, characterizing the simplicity of being in love.
“Guys”
“Guys” is an underrated romantic song about non-romantic relationships. It characterizes the essence of some of our most formative relationships: those with our friends. “You guys are the best thing that ever happened to me,” truly says it all.
“Somebody Else”
This trance-like song is truly a slow burn, reminiscent of feelings of heartbreak and regret. It captures the experience of moving on from a relationship and the pain of seeing someone you loved with “someone else”.
