"Crying" by Don McLean or Roy Orbison. A song you can sing at the top of your voice.

The entire Alanis Morisette album Jagged Little Pill.

Niagara Falls!

And be kind to yourself FlowersBrewCake

Prisoner by Ryan Adams. The B-Sides album is pretty bloody tied-up-in-knots sorrowful.

Actually, anything by Ryan Adams.

He is Mr Feelings. Official.

Gravity by Embrace. Not a breakup song as such but it always make me teary.

Warwick Avenue by Duffy. If you watch the video too she cries throughout.

Beth Hart - Tell her you're mine
Colin Hay - I just don't think I'll ever get over you
Sarah Barielles - Breathe again and She used to be mine
Emilia Mitiku - You're not right for me

And this is a Christian singer but a lot of his songs can be applied to many situations

But can I suggest you listen to some songs that make you think that he can fuck himself and you don't need him instead of weepy ones.

Flowers hope you're feeling better soon op.

Always reminds me that whatever I'm going through that every other person out there is struggling with their own battles too.

I know your sad but why are we crying ... can't you put that energy into dancing to songs that make you feel alive and good Wink

Start with something cliche like ultra nate - your free ! Or Cyndi laupers girls just want to have fun unless your into more rock etc in which case I'd recommend Rolling Stones - start me up Wine get those arms in the air and cry tears of joy , that your relationship has ended but a new adventure as you has started ! GrinThanks xx

Having a singalong and bawl to Someone Like You or I'm Not The Only One by Sam Smith... corny but does it.

A Different Corner - George Michael

Hazel o’Connor - Will You

Or you could watch some heartwarming animal rescue videos, as I just unwisely did... now I am snivelling all over the place
