What song best describes your relationship?

Broken relationship or happy relationship..
The song that best described the relationship with my ex partner is "what about us" by Pink.
He promised me the world but gave me nothing but heartache. Every time I listen to it, it just summed up everything I felt during that time.
Looking forward to seeing other responses :)

Mine is Flowers in the Window by Travis. We went to a festival quite early on in our relationship and they played this song and it really hit me. I’d been quite emotionally cut off before but with him it felt right to let him in.

We’re getting married next month and it feels more apt than ever.

Now with my husband it's Carrie Underwood - What I never knew I always wanted 🥰

I love you just the way you are by Billy Joel. It was our first song dance and after 40 years of very happy marriage I feel just the same about DH as I did when we married

Given my track record it has to be Sisters are doing it for themselves!

AlexaShutUp · 14/09/2020 18:43

Tightrope from Greatest Showman. I remember hearing it for the first time and thinking that it just summed up our relationship.

DH and I are from very, very different worlds. Our lives together have been challenging, for sure, but never boring. It has truly been a great adventure. Tough at times, but it's what we both chose.

Twenty five years this year.Smile

‘Bewitched bothered and bewildered’ and its more positive than that might sound!

I remember my mum playing that one to me after a particularly ghastly break up when I was in my late twenties. (She did diplomatically wait until she judged that I'd be able to see the funny side).

Ella Fitzgerald recording, by any chance?

With DH - Stars by simply red. Certain lyrics are really apt.
