Snarky Brides

Greatest song to heal a broken heart

Thought I'd cry for you forever
But I couldn't so I didn't
people's children die and they don't even cry forever
Thought I'd see your face in my mind for all time
But I don't even remember what your ears looked like

And the clock still strikes midnight and noon
and the sun still rises and so does the moon
birds still migrate south and people move on
even though I'm no longer in your arms
Thought the mountain would crumble
and the rivers would bend
but I thought all wrong and the world did not end
guess the maps will just have to stay the same for a while
Didn't even need therapy to rehabilitate my smile
rehabilitate my smile

Thought I'd cry for you forever
But I couldn't so I didn't...

It's called Rejazz and Regina Spektor sings it (and wrote it)
I think anyone who's ever had their heart broken can relate...

  • I don't like that it talks about children dying. And ditto Missy.
  • I don't get it.  the subject of the thread made me start singing "what becomes of the broken hearted" and I really hate that song...damn

    And betrothed, I'm disgusted with most of the comments that you have posted. I don't think I've ever read such judgmental comments in my life. I'm so lucky that the girls I speak to on theknot are nothing like you...I would've never come on here for ADVICE if I would've encountered a big a bitch as you. I genuinely feel awful for your children or your future children, and I think it would be irresponsible of YOU not to invest in their future therapy sessions starting now. Because trust me when I tell you honey, they're gonna need it. ~jcaruncho2010

    You could also go with a little Cowboy Mouth for a real pick me up:

    When you first said you didn't think
    that you could love me any more
    I closed my eyes and held my breath
    and turned my face towards the floor
    You touched my hand and said that maybe
    we should separate a while
    I hoped that through my sorry look
    you didn't see my great big smile

    I haven't had this much fun in such a long, long time
    This much fun could make me lose my mind
    I haven't had this much fun at all
    Since you put my back to the wall
    This much fun in such a long, long time

  • How about this one?

    At first I was afraid
    I was petrified
    Kept thinking I could never live
    without you by my side
    But then I spent so many nights
    thinking how you did me wrong
    And I grew strong
    And I learned how to get along
    and so you're back
    from outer space
    I just walked in to find you here
    with that sad look upon your face
    I should have changed that stupid lock
    I should have made you leave your key
    If I had known for just one second
    you'd be back to bother me

    Go on now go walk out the door
    just turn around now
    'cause you're not welcome anymore
    weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
    Did you think I'd crumble
    Did you think I'd lay down and die
    Oh no, not I
    I will survive
    oh as long as i know how to love
    I know I'll stay alive
    I've got all my life to live
    I've got all my love to give
    and I'll survive
    I will survive (hey hey)

  • When I did have a sad little heart, I used to hear Better with Time by leona lewis.....


    Thought I couldn't live without you
    It's gonna hurt when it heals too
    It'll all get better in time
    Even though I really love you
    I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
    It'll all get better in time

    I love the Cake version :)

    My favorite bad times song is Move Along by The All American Rejects

    When all you've got to keep is strong
    move along, move along like I know you do.
    And even when your hope is gone
    Move along, move along just to make it through.
  • I prefer "Good Luck" by Basement Jaxx.

    No, no broken heart for me today AATB, thanks for asking :)
    One of my friends and his girlfriend broke up last night and he's having a hard time.  He was talking about how he's "never going to smile again" and all of that sad post-break up stuff and it got me thinking about this song.  Because sometimes when you're going through a break up, it really does feel like you'll never, ever get over it but then one day you wake up and the other person isn't the first thing you think about and you realize that you're over it.

  • I also enjoy Annie Lennox's cover of A Thin Line Between Love and Hate. I find pissed off ladymusic empowering.

    See, when I break up with someone, I like really angry music to get over it.  When I was heartbroken in college, I had these songs (along with a few other angry songs) on my iPod and I'd go to the gym and punch the speedbag for an hour or so.  Endorphins are great, but what's even better is when school started again, I was in the best shape of my life and the ex was tripping over his tongue.  Idiot.

    "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson

    You had your chance, you blew it
    Out of sight, out of mind
    Shut your mouth, I just can’t take it
    Again and again and again and again
    But since you been gone
    I can breathe for the first time
    I’m so movin’ on, yeah, yeah
    Thanks to you, now I get, I get what I want
    Since you been gone

    "Ex-Girlfriend" by No Doubt

    I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend
    I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them
    And you know it makes me sick to be on that list
    But I shoulda thought of that before we kissed…

    And my ALL TIME FAVORITE break-up song...

    "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" by Pat Benetar

    Well you're a real tough cookie with a long history
    Of breaking little hearts, like the one in me
    That's okay, let's see how you do it
    Put up your dukes, let's get down to it!
    Hit me with your best shot!
    Why don't you hit me with your best shot!
    Hit me with your best shot!
    FIRE AWAY!

    (that's when I pummeled the bag like it was his tiny head).

    Aw, sad for him :(

    My 15 year old little sister and her boyfriend of THREE YEARS broke up a little while ago.  So yeah, I was remembering times when I was younger and what it feels like to get your heart broken.

    Now I'm all depressed, boo!
    panther
  • Wow, that's a long relationship for someone so young!  Poor kid. 
    I don't get depressed by looking back at times I've had my heart broken, it makes me appreciate how awesome Dan is even more. 
    When I think that my ex got his new girl preggers three months after he broke up with me (on new years eve, just as the ball was dropping, btw) and that he's probably living in some gross little hovel working at a grocery store raising his kid (who he named after a cat he had when he was little) I shudder to think that I ever saw myself being with him forever.  LoL
