Top 10 Best Break Up Songs

Boy and girl meet. They hang out all the time. They start falling in love. Somewhere down the line things just change for the worse. Break-ups, we've all been there at one point in time. Break-ups for me is a lot like death. I go through many stages of mourning until I can finally say I'm over it (and sadly, sometimes you never are actually "over it," you just learn to function without it). In my first stage I tend to listen to super depressing songs. Of course every song you hear reminds you of that one person. That person you thought you were going to spend the rest of your life with. Love em or leave em, here's my top 10 songs I listen to during a Break-Up.  Enjoy.

10.Dashboard Confessional - Screaming Infidelities

9. Swirl 360 - Okay

8. Social Distortion - Writing On The Wall

7. A Day To Remember - If It Means A Lot To You

I think when he sings the line, "I swear I'll never be happy again, and don't you dare say we can just be friends I'm not some boy that you can sway. We knew it'd would happen eventually," my heart just breaks.


6. Elvis Costello - I Want You

Great song but listening to this when you're really down it just bad news.


5. Keith Urban - You'll Think Of Me

4. the Cure - Pictures Of You

3. Bon Iver - Can't Make You Love Me/ Nick Of Time

2. Mayday Parade - Miserable At Best

1. Gavin Mikhail - Skinny Love
Bon Iver cover

There is something about the way he sings this that gets me every time. Once he goes off I lose it. Eyes instantly water. The last "break-up" I had I played this on repeat for days. I still play it when I'm upset.
