11 Breakup Songs You Didn’t Know You Needed

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Waterloo chapter.

A compilation for the recently single, heartbroken or otherwise. No way will you send that drunk text.

Changing of the Seasons- Two Door Cinema Club

“And when you say you won’t forget me

Well I can tell you that’s untrue

’cause every day since you left me

I’ve thought less and less of you

And I’ve worn out all the reasons

To keep on knocking at your door

Could be the changing of the seasons

But I don’t love you anymore”

Snap Out of It- Arctic Monkeys

 

“What’s been happening in your world?

What have you been up to?

I heard that you fell in love

Or near enough

I gotta tell you the truth

I wanna grab both your shoulders and shake baby

Snap out of it (Snap out of it)

I get the feeling I left it too late, but baby

Snap out of it (Snap out of it)”

Shut Up and Let Me Go- The Ting Tings

“Shut up and let me go

This hurts, I tell you so

For the last time you will kiss my lips

Now shut up and let me go!”

Smile- Lily Allen

“At first when I see you cry,

Yeah, it makes me smile, yeah, it makes me smile

At worst I feel bad for a while,

But then I just smile, I go ahead and smile”

Back to Black- Amy Winehouse

“Me and my head high

And my tears dry

Get on without my guy”

Fools- Troye Sivan

“I see quiet nights poured over ice and Tanqueray

But everything is shattering and it’s my mistake

Only fools fall for you, only fools

Only fools do what I do, only fools fall”

Dancing On My Own- Robyn

“Somebody said you got a new friend

Does she love you better than I can?

There’s a big black sky over my town

I know where you’re at, I bet she’s around”

Rumour Has It- Adele

“She, she ain’t real,

She ain’t gonna be able to love you like I will,

She is a stranger,

You and I have history,

Or don’t you remember?

Sure, she’s got it all,

But, baby, is that really what you want?”

Love is a Battlefield- Pat Benatar

“We are strong

No one can tell us we’re wrong

Searching our hearts for so long

Both of us knowing

Love is a battlefield”

Somebody Told Me- The Killers

“Somebody told me

You had a boyfriend

Who looked like a girlfriend

That I had in February of last year

It’s not confidential

I’ve got potential

A rushin’, a rushin’ around”

Don’t You Want Me- The Human League

“Don’t. Don’t you want me?

You know I can’t believe it when I hear that you won’t see me

Don’t. Don’t you want me?

You know I don’t believe you when you say that you don’t need me”
