Who knows some good heartbreak songs?

55% Normal

Please, I need a really good song that describes my situation: feeling hurt because I really am crazy about this guy and I keep forgiving him but there are just some things I feel suspicious of.He can come off as shady and I just fear him becoming someone else and that this whole time I didn't really know who he was. But what I want him to take from the song is how I'm not blind and was always suspicious of his behavior but yet how much I like him that I kept forgiving him and believing his possible lies. Something similar to "I'm Not the Only One" by Sam Smith. I like any music, alternative rock, r&b, pop alternative, etc.

Not a band, but some of metal/rock/screamo songs are really good, personally, i think that if they took away the catchy beat and replaced it with something less catchy from pop/rap songs, and replaced the singers with ugly people, people would hate pop/rap. They sing about things that just make no sense. Note that not all metal/rock/screamo songs are about breakup and heartbreak but you can find them, and they tend to be pretty good, also i'm not saying that all metal/rock/sreaamo songs make sense, but they tend to be more... together. Hope this helps!

Hello! "Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Imagine he's singing this song. Also you should listen "Poor Man's Moody Blues" by Barclay James Harvest - a really heartbreaking song.

  Okay...thanks for the tracks and letting me know how to listen to the first one. I mean it sounds like something he would tell me. So what the point is that I shouldn't take it personal cause he's a guy and wants to explore things and I should let him enjoy his life? Its not that he doesn't want to be with me because if he didn't want anything to do with me then he would've let me go a long time ago. But he is still hanging on since at the end, he does like me but he's taking care of his life first?
  I feel like guys have more of the nerve to not get so emotionally attached to something and do more of what they please so girls shouldn't take it too personal. But then you hear from the majority "if he really likes he would do anything to be with you and not make his goals as an excuse." But this song and I think what you are trying to tell me is he is not making an excuse and I should just accept it.
  The second track...why this track? Do you think that this is something he does feel but can't exactly express it?

  I loved this song and Puddle of Mudd back in the day but now that I have grown up, I am more capable of thinking things through and possibly over-analyzing so now I don't have a clear idea of what this songs about.
  
  Does he realize he fucked up in the relationship so now he sees why she fucking hates him? Hence, possibly my situation.
  
  Or like in the song, its her who fucked up cause he put everything in the relationship but if shes the one who fucked up, wouldn't it be more like "I fucken hate her?" And if so, relating it to my situation, I'm the one who fucking it up?

    I didn't really think that deep, I just like the silly/ angry song. Who knows which person fucked up, it's probably both to some degree.

Loving someone who hurts you is stupid and counterproductive. I don't know why anybody does this.

As for the song topic I will share a song I wrote for an album I'm working on currently.

It's about trying to find comfort in life despite experiencing loss, death and betrayal.

  Idk but I used to look at pple like that the same way as u do. What makes you want to keep yourself in that pattern of unhappiness? Well honestly you don't know until you yourself experience it. I finally felt something real for someone and when you feel that way its harder than it seems to just walk away. I think that's what makes older marriages successful these days is that they're not going to walk away from someone just for one thing or some little things because they actually love that person meaning they'll deal w them through it all.
  
  I will check out your song tho thank you.

    I'm a bit confused who you are implying is in a pattern of unhappiness? Me, or you? Because I would not be happy being around somebody who caused problems.
    I think anybody who continues to want to be around somebody who causes them problems must be brainwashed or something. Forgiveness should only go so far. There are lots of people who will take advantage of someone who tolerates their behavior because it gives them the right to abuse them however they want. In the end it is bad for both people because tolerance will enable them to act that way and not straighten out their act, and anybody with self respect will not tolerate them.

      I meant people like me right now. I used to look at them and usually girls like why would they want to stay in that cycle? But now that I'm in their shoes, I get it. It's harder than it seems to let go. You can't just walk away when you have so much hope for them.
      However, I do understand where you're coming from since I'm usually like you and I stay away from any type of drama or unhappiness. But at the end of the day, he got me vulnerable for the first time and I'm happy to finally feel something real because who knows...what if I was always going to stay cold-hearted and never feel something, that cold be damaging to the self. The ego is just a mask for someone who is scared deep inside. I would've left a long time ago with that mask on but not when true feeling hold you back.

        I read your comment a few times and am still having difficulty comprehending.
        Anyway if you feel like you are more accepted when you tolerate abuse, it isn't because you are liked or respected, but because you become somebody who is a willing victim. For some reason I will never understand some people seem to think people will change, which I am wondering if that is true for you since you talk about having "hope for them".
        People can change themselves when they really want to, but can never change another person. You cannot make somebody else feel something unless they allow it.
        I think I have a lot of insight into these situations because I have noticed I am unable to feel a lot of certain emotions myself. I don't think I'm a narcissist though because I am respectful to others and have no social needs, but I realize there are many people who lack feelings who are not respectful and have selfish social needs and in those situations it would be easy to trick somebody into thinking they care just so they can have somebody to serve them, and serving others hurts them too because they will become very dysfunctional because very few people will enable this behavior.
        In any social relationship you must look at somebodies worst qualities and decide if you can tolerate that or not, because if you cannot, then it is hopeless, and if you choose to do it anyways expexting you can help them, then you just very well deserve to learn a hard lesson about life, and that is probablly what they are thinking too.

No songs, sorry, but you need to listen to your gut feelings and get away from him. If you keep getting red flag after red flag after red flag, you need to turn away no matter how much you feel connected to a person.

  A lot of these songs are negative but I guess cause it is s negative situation but I didn't express how much he means to me. I want something like "you mean so much to me, on top of every EF up you do cause I feel like we belong together"
  Um ya...and he recently sent me this song that said "we belong to the light we belong to the thunder we belong together, sometimes my inability to express myself is a sin of weakness" basically means ya the down times suck but we make it work eventually. It just reminded me to always chill out when I'm mad because like he has said a few times, he doesn't do these bad things on purpose to hurt me he doesn't notice them so he doesn't know how to change them. Sometimes my depressed feelings consume me so much, I hate being a girl lol sometimes we over analyze and chase these pple away who really did like us as best as they can. Its confusing.

    A relationship like yours just isn't sustainable or healthy. If you have to rationalize another person's bad behaviour ("he doesn't do it on purpose") or if that person tells you not to listen to your feelings ("chill out"), that is a serious worry.
    
    Just because you're a girl doesn't mean you're over-analyzing. Your angry and sad feelings count and listening to them is the only way to stop feeling so confused. There's nothing romantic about battling through the bad times until you find light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes there is no light, just tunnel.

An area in which I am expert . . .

Nine Inch Nails - Something I can Never Have
Patsy Cline - Crazy
Ruth Etting - Love Me or leave Me
Elvis Costello - I want you
Roy Orbison - Crying
Hank Williams - I cant Help it(If I'm still in Love with You)
The Beatles - Yesterday
Bon Iver - I can't make you love me
Billie Holiday- All of Me
Janis Joplin - Maybe

I know most of these are what many people would consider ancient. Please give these songs a listen. Part of what helped me to get over my ex was acknowledging that all of these musicians were feeling the exact same thing I was feeling and that we were both experiencing these emotions decades apart from one another. It's a beautiful thing.

P.S. - Each of these has brought me to my knees, in tears, at one point or another.
