Right now you probably want to stay as far away from sad songs as you can. You're torn to pieces, angry, and confused. You didn't realize you could feel this kind of numbing, stomach churning pain from a person you love, and thought loved you too. Some of us cope by shutting ourselves away in to our dark bedrooms, binge watching Netflix until we can muster up the courage to enter the world again, naked and afraid. I cope by listening to music, the saddest music I can think of. Yes, it hurts like a punch to the gut, but it really works. The more you bottle up those thoughts the worse you get, so let it all out and don't stop. The words you wish you could say are written within the lyrics of songs, like the ones I have here.
1. Who Are You Loving Now by Danny Mercer
'Cause all that I think about
Who are you loving now?
2. Pretend by Tinashe featuring A$AP Rocky
Let's pretend you never lied
So I can give it up all night
Swallow my pride and learn to forgive
When I'm looking for love I pretend it's you
3. How Not To by Dan & Shay
But I don't know how not to think about you
When it's late at night and quiet
And I know that I ought to be the one who is strong and just moves on
4. Jaded by Aerosmith
Yeah you're so jaded
And I'm the one that jaded you
5. Best Thing I Never Had by Beyonce
I know you want me back
It's time to face the facts
That I'm the one that's got away
Lord knows that it would take another place, another time, another world, another life
Thank God I found the good in goodbye
6. Bed of Lies by Nicki Minaj featuring Skylar Grey
And oh how you made me believe
You had me caught in every web that you weaved
But do you ever think of me when you lie,
Lie down in your bed, your bed of lies?
7. You'll Think of Me by Keith Urban
While you're sleeping with your pride
Wishing I could hold you tight
I'll be over you
And on with my life
8. I Miss You by Kasey Musgraves
I got a big smile on my face
It's the best one I can fake
I'm as happy as half a heart can do
But I miss you.
9. Nothing by The Script
Sometimes love's intoxicating
10. Somebody Else by Rico Love
Wish I knew how to not hold on
11. Every Breath You Take by The Police
Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace.
I dream at night, I can only see your face.
I look around but it's you I can't replace.
12. Withdrawals by Tyler Farr
You’re the ghost that’s still sleeping in my bed
A song I can’t turn off in my head
You’re the perfect storm, yeah baby, and I’m still drowning
13. Any Ol Barstool by Jason Aldean
I ain't sittin' 'round
Tryin' to drown the thought of you
Ask any ol' barstool
14. Red Love by Pia Mia
You take me higher and above
And then you turn
And leave me here with nothing
15. Amnesia by The Josh Abbott Band
And if I woke up tomorrow
Wasn't thinking about yesterday
And you were just a stranger
It wouldn't kill me to watch you walk away
