Ultimate breakup songs

[Mushroomride]

Which song most conveys the feeling of how you felt after your breakup?

I don’t forgive you - Isabel LaRosa

So satisfying somehow, doesn’t make me sad at all.

Baby, is she really everything you need?
It's crazy, think you love her after just two weeks
You hate me 'cause you know I'm not that easy
I hope she breaks your heart so casually
I don't forgive you
I don't forgive you
I still fucking miss you
But I don't forgive you
Trust me, I'm in every other girl you'll meet
You see that god'll bring you back to me
Baby, I hope you think she'll never leave
And then she'll break your heart so casually
I don't forgive you
I don't forgive you
I still fucking miss you
But I don't forgive you
You drive away
I guess today's the last I am seeing your face
I don't forgive you
I don't forgive you
I still fucking miss you
But I don't forgive you

50 Ways to Leave your Lover

My break-ups were boring 'we're not right for each other' break-ups. But I love break-up songs - in a parallel universe I took more relationship risks and lived the angst and drama depicted in these songs.

Favourites include:

You Oughta Know - Alanis Morissette
Dancing on my own - Robin
Irreplaceable - Beyonce

abcdefu - Gayle

Miranda Lambert, Tin Man

It's her singing to Wizard of Oz tin man telling him having a heart is no fun at all 😢

You Oughta Know - Alanis Morissette

This captured the angry when my exDH left me for my exBFF.

Don't Speak - No Doubt

And this captured the hurt.

alanis morissette - you ought to know

Alanis Morissette, Your House. Hidden track on Jagged Little Pill.

Must have been lovely by Roxette

Here without you - 3 doors down

I LOVE this. I remember letting the CD run and discovering it - I was so thrilled!

You should be sad by Halsey
I hope you're miserable until you're dead by Nessa Barrett.

It was not an amicable split.

Listen to the first few bars.
It's baa baa black sheep.
Sorry have i ruined it for you now 😂 I can't listen to it anymore because of that 😂

My best friend and I were dumped at the same time and spent WAY too much time listening to it. In the end he declared that we needed to resist and stop wallowing in it

Jar Of Hearts by Christina Perri. Heard it a lot when I left my exh, it hit very hard and felt very empowering at the time.

You're history by Shakespears Sister

That’s a fucking excellent song.

Always been Vision of Love (Mariah Carey) for me!

If you leave me now you’ll take away the biggest part of me.. Ooohhoooohh baby please don’t go…ad infinitum

I will add sways love you, Whitney Houston.

Gonna get along without you now, Viola Wills.

Vampire - Olivia Rodrigo 🤌🏼

Lady A- What if I never get over you

I hate you so much right now - Kelis

Its over - Roy Orbison

It looks like I’ll never fall in love again - Tom Jones

Loved Jagged Little Pill, but had no idea about the hidden track! It was the soundtrack of my teens. Loved Don't Speak too!

So many gems here already but adding my 2 cents: Ruin by The Pierces. Fab band IMO that never really got much recognition!

I really need these right now, please keep them coming - especially the Alanis style suggestions! I'm been wallowing in recent break up sadness with a carefully curated playlist of tear jerkers but feel I may be ready to embrace the rage and sing very loudly...

Whitney Houston- it's not right but it's ok
