Lots of us use music as a release. I find it great to listen to songs I can relate to.

 

Share your favourite lyrics, quotes and songs that have helped you during a break up.

 

I'll get the ball rolling with samples from two of my favourite break up songs by A Day to Remember. These guys have got me through a couple of big breakups now.

 

"Better off this way"

 

I wonder if you'd notice,

If they locked me up and threw away the key

Im tryna be open minded,

You've got a lot to learn about the ways of me

You've always gotta say something,

Im none of your concern but you wont listen at all

You know I'd rather say nothing,

And just be proud of myself I'm tearing down these walls.

 

When you fall I'll be the only one who looks away,

When you call I'll be the first to tell you I can't stay.

It's all over I've found a better way,

To help keep you from me,

Im better of this way

 

-

 

You want it, you got it

You've always been such a waste of time.

You want it, you got it

A friend of yours is no friend of mine.

You want it, you got it

When will you act your age?

You want it, you got it

You're the reason things have to change.

 

"The plot to bomb the panhandle"

 

Ive learned to let go!

Come on!

 

I'm looking down at this mess that you've made

and I can't believe that I stayed

So unhappy for so long

Where did I go wrong?

I've got to get out of this

my hand is on the handle

We're leaving everything behind

Goodbye for a lifetime

 

You'll get what's coming to you

You're blinded by your instincts

I'm not your ****ing game

I'm not so easily beat

 

I'll make my stand

right here with my friends

 

Get low

Now I know who my friends are

I'm never coming home

 

Love these lyrics because I could relate to them, they made me WANT to move on. Not to mention jumping around hardcore dancing and shouting the lyrics was a pretty good anger release :)

Have a bit of trouble linking videos with my phone but you can look them up if you like. One is "The Ghost of Johnny Cash" by Shawn Mullins and the other is "Thinking of You" by Christian Kane

I'm a HUGE Prince fan. He did an acoustic album called "The Truth" and the second half is about relationships. The first song called Fascination is the start. The next few songs deal with the cheating, the breakup, etc. But the lyric that touched me most and has helped me say hopeful is

 

If you ever lose some one who's dear to you

Never say the words "They're gone"

And they'll come back

 

Good stuff

Good to see a range of different genres for everyone.

 

Theyre good lyrics for someone hanging on to hope Gulf Delta.

Will smith has a good quote, I'll probably get it wrong because I havent looked it up but it goes something like this

 

"If you dont want me when Im struggling

Dont expect to have me when I'm successful"

 

Another of my favourite quotes thats actually being drawn into my next tattoo is "God give me the serenity to accept things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference"

 

 

I tend to listen to angry music in break ups. Because I listen to dance music normally, and the lyrics are usually something to do with big booty bitches or having sex getting drunk and partying ><

i wrote my own lyrics for how i felt

 

you can listen here if you wish

 

 

it helps to get it out =) funny thing is the girl in question subscribed to my channel afew days after i posted the song and liked and fave'd it so i guess it gave her an ego boost -_- o well

"She Hates Me"

 

Met a girl, thought she was grand

fell in love, found out first hand

went well for a week or two

then it all came unglued

 

In a trap, trip I can't grip

never thought I'd be the one who'd slip

then I started to realize

I was living one big lie

 

She ****ing hates me

trust

she ****ing hates me

la la la love

I tried too hard

and she tore my feelings like I had none

and ripped them away

 

She was queen for about an hour

after that **** got sour

she took all I ever had

no sign of guilt

no feeling of bad, no

 

In a trap, trip I can't grip

never thought I'd be the one who'd slip

then I started to realize

I was living one big lie

 

[Chorus]

 

that's my story, as you see

learned my lesson and so did she

now it's over and I'm glad

'cause I'm a fool for all I've said

 

[Chorus]

 

la la la la la la la la la love

Trust

la la la la la la la la la love

Trust

and she tore my feelings like I had none

she ****ing hates me

Emmure - False love in real life (lyrics) - YouTube

unfaithful backstabbing coward

band= chelsea grin song= lillith

 

Your body is my temptress

Your being is a must

I cannot live another day without you

 

I'd give it up for just one touch

To see your face

To feel your lust calling me

She won't stop calling

I feel her crawling inside

She won't stop calling

 

Come and watch my lips turn blue

I wrote this song just for you

It's what you've made create

I'm drowning in the well

Of my sins and my selfishness

 

I can't forget when I felt you

It was clear to me that I need you

 

**ck this world

And **ck this place

 

I never asked for this

I never wanted this

I never asked for you

I never wanted you

 

 

But the longing keeps on drawing me back

 

In your arms again

 

I can't forget when I felt you

It was clear to me that I need you

 

I can't forget the things that you put me through

I can't forget

I don't regret the poison that set me free

I don't regret

 

Your body is my temptress

Your being is a must

I cannot live another day without you

 

I CAN'T!!!

You'll think of me by Keith Urban...song came out when I was fighting alot with my ExGF and right before we broke up

Posted

 

Wiz Khalifa says:

 

Man, f*ck that ****

I’ll be out spending all this money

While you sitting around wondering

Why it wasn’t you who came up from nothing

Made it from the botton

Now when you see me I’m stuntin’

And all cars start with the push of a button

Telling me the changed since I blew up or whatever you call it

Switched the number to my phone so you never could call it

Don’t need my name on my shirt, you can tell that I’m ballin’

Swish, what a shame, coulda got picked

Had a really good game but you missed your last shot

So you talk about who you see at the top

Or what you could’ve saw

But sad to say it’s over for it

Phantom pull up, valet open doors

Wiz like go away, got what you was looking for

Now it’s me who they they want

So you can go and take that little piece of **** with you

Another good one is

 

**** you by eamon haha.

 

"**** you you hoe, I don't want you back"

I don't think I want this anymore

As she drops the ring to the floor

She says to herself you've left before

This time you will stay gone that's for sure

 

And he shouted something as

She dragged her suitcase down the path

To the driveway

She had never gone that far

 

Normally this would be the time that she

Let him talk her out of leaving

But this time without crying

As she got into her car, she said

 

No, happily never after

That just ain't for me because finally

I know I deserve better after all

I'll never let another teardrop fall

 

As she drove away she starts to smile

Realized she hadn't for a while

No destination, she drove for miles

Wondering why she stayed in such denial

 

Laughing about the way he shouted something as

She dragged her suitcase down the path

To the driveway

She had never gone that far

 

Normally this would be the time that she

Let him talk her out of leaving

But this time without crying

As she got into her car, she said

 

No, happily never after

That just ain't for me because finally

I know I deserve better after all

I'll never let another teardrop fall

 

I'm done, I'm done, said, I'm so done

So done, I'm so done

I'm free, I'm free, said, I'm so free

I'm so free, I'm so free

She inhaled an air she'd never breathed before

The air of no drama no more, cause she said

 

No, happily never after

That just ain't for me because finally

I know I deserve better after all

I'll never let another teardrop fall...

All this time I had it wrong,

But now I truly see

The road you’re choosing.

See the writings on the wall

Tells me I’m losing you

And there's nothing for me to do

Cause our greatest fears came true.

I finally got a clearer view

 

Chorus:

I don’t wanna be a soldier anymore

Because the war never ends

And no one ever wins

I don’t understand why we should fight for love?

Either it ain’t or it is

It either ain’t or it is

 

I guess that I am not as strong

As I pretend to be.

It’s so confusing

And if I thought you would change tomorrow

I still would be choosing to

Run away and just start brand new.

The lucky ones they are so few

Then I guess they are unlike me and you

Me and you

 

Chorus: (x3)

No, I cannot believe

That I won’t ever love again!
