Breakup Song Lyrics That Kick Heartache Out the Door
You’ve just broken up with someone. Or someone’s broken up with you. You’ve got a jumble of pent-up emotions that need to be released in a way that won’t get you a life sentence or the death penalty. There are scores of breakup songs whose music and lyrics will help you deal with those feelings in a healthy way. Belting out the lyrics to a breakup song, or just listening to those lyrics—even if you need to play them over and over and over again—can help you break up with emotions associated with your ex.
The title of Neil Sedaka’s “Breaking Up is Hard to Do,” cuts right to the chase. The song has the odd combination of a peppy tune—presumably, to lift your spirits—and the agonized lyrics, “Don’t take your love away from me/Don’t you leave my heart in misery/If you go then I’ll be blue/’Cause breaking up is hard to do.” Cher’s “If I Could Turn Back Time,” with its lyrics, “If I could turn back time/If I could find a way/I’d take back those words that have hurt you/And you’d stay” is also great for the newly wounded heart. There are also perfect pining-away lyrics in Chicago’s “If You Leave Me Now”: “If you leave me now/You’ll take away the biggest part of me,” and LeAnne Rimes’ “How Do I Live Without You”: “If I had to live without you/What kind of life would that be?”
Feeling bitter? Determined never to fall in love again? Then try the lyrics to Nazareth’s power-ballad classic, “Love Hurts,” which are sung with wrenching agony: “Some fools think of happiness, blissfulness, togetherness/Some fools fool themselves, I guess/They’re not foolin’ me.” Or how about the outrage in the lyrics of Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know”: “It was a slap in the face/How quickly I was replaced.” There’s bitterness in the seething lyrics of Mary J. Blige’s “Not Gon’ Cry”: “Eleven years out of my life/Wasted my years—a fool of a wife.” The J. Geils Band gets right to the point in the title and lyrics of “Love Stinks”: “This thing they call love/It’s gonna make you cry/…Love stinks!”
If you’re sick of crying and are ready to be empowered, you’re ready for Gloria Gaynor’s ultimate ode to strength, “I Will Survive,” and its immortal lyrics, “Weren’t you the one who tried to break 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!” Or how about the tough-as-leather lyrics to Pat Benatar’s “Heartbreaker”: You’re a heartbreaker, dreammaker, love-taker/Don’t you mess around with me!” Or listen to the Eagles singing the lyrics to “Already Gone” with unbridled glee: “I’m already gone/And I’m feelin’ strong/I will sing this vict’ry song/Woo hoo hoo!”
Whatever emotion you’re experiencing after your breakup—sorrow, regret, anger, disbelief—there’s a song out there whose lyrics will seem as though they were written specifically for you. So find that song with the perfect lyrics, turn it up to 11, and belt your heart out—broken or not!
