We all have moments when words fail us, yet they mysteriously seem to desert the most the exact moment we're trying to impress someone. Yet no need to fear, the word on the street has it that when words fail, music speaks! Don't worry if you can't play an instrument or if your singing voice isn't the finest, you can just send a link to the song on your crush's Facebook page. If you're having trouble choosing a song or all the ones you find just seem overused, this list provides some suggestions that may solve your dilemma.
1. Heart On - Celldweller
Sometimes catching the grenade isn't enough
This is song you want to use if you've liked the other person for quite some time now, and you've tried everything you can possibly think of to let her know that you love her (short of actually using those words, of course). Or if you and your bae are going on two years now and you just want to send a reminder of how madly you love him or her.
2. Angel With a Shotgun - The Cab
If you're looking for an equally epic song that is not so electronic-y or in your face as the first song and/or "Grenade" is too overplayed for you, "Angel With a Shotgun" is a great alternative. Doesn't matter if your a saint or a sinner, this song will sweep your girl off her feet.
3. Here's Your Freakin' Song - Bowling for Soup
Honestly, what were you expecting?
Perhaps you have the opposite problem, and are fed up with your significant other. He or she keeps nagging you about all these petty things and you're finally ready to let them know exactly what you think of it. Well then, here's your freakin' song.
4. Apples and Cinnamon - Utada Hikaru
Maybe you weren't expecting the previous song from your jerk of an ex; you really thought you two had something special. Maybe you had a break up with someone that despite how well you two just fit, it was just too good to last. This is a slower number that captures your yearning perfectly.
5. Never Dance Again - Blue Stahli
Never has revenge looked so glamorous
In reality, you're most likely bitter over the breakup, and are convinced that your ex was an absolute jerk (the signs were there, thank God you finally noticed them). You've also plotted how you're going to crush his or her heart if you ever see said ex again. Hopefully, you're driving when this happens with this song going full blast.
6. Two Princes - Spin Doctors
If there's anything more painful than being in love, it's being love with a person who is clearly crushing/dating some obvious loser. Let her know you're the one who will treat her right with this song.
7. Lonely Hearts Club - Marina and the Diamonds
Accepting applications from January to December
No matter how you slice it, being single often gets lonely. Make this the anthem song of your singles group or Galentine's Party. After all, isn't that exactly what they are?
8. Terrible Things - Mayday Parade
Perhaps you've had one too many bad breakups or spent one day too many locked in your room listening to your favorite pop punk band and are currently completely disillusioned with love and romance in general. Let's face it, sometimes life just does terrible things, and someone needs to remind the lovebirds that Romeo and Juliet isn't a good thing to be.
9. Music is My Boyfriend - Skye Sweetnam
Why does no one understand this?
Maybe you're the rare dynamic individual who truly believes in "no boyfriend, no problem." Who needs a boyfriend when you have headphones, right? Keep those pesky boys off your case by letting them you're already taken.
10. Sugar - Kerli
Just send this to your significant other as a subtle, in-your-face way to let them know you're hoping for a bit more than chocolates on Valentine's Day. Or any date for that matter.
11. You're a Vampire - One-Eyed Doll
And who said goths don't have a sense of humor?
This one's a lovely random bonus number to send your goth girl or guy if they have a sense of humor. Maybe you can use it to tick off some Twi-hard you know. It's kinda up to your imagination.
12. I'll See You Again - S3rl feat. Chi Chi
Those of you in a long-distance relationship, you haven't been forgotten! While it can be painful to be separated, send your partner this song to remind them how much you love them and that it won't last forever.
