Best Breakup Songs
If you’re anything like me, music plays an immense part in you life. Right after getting divorced, I asked my friend sto create a “best breakup songs” list for me, and I still listen to it when I need to. Here are some of my favorites from those songs!
1. Let Him Fly - Patty Griffin’s version (although The Dixie Chick’s version is really good, too)
2. Before He Cheats - Carrie Underwood (hiliarious song even if he didn’t cheat)
3. She’s Like the Wind - Patrick Swayze (from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack)
4. How am I Supposed to Live Without You - Michael Bolton (so sad, and it make me laugh thinking about how sad I really found it then)
5. Miss You Like Crazy - Natalie Cole
6. You Oughta Know - Alanis Morisette (still, anything by her makes me feel empowered and strong … I love me some Alanis)
7. Big Girls Don’t Cry - The Four Seasons (well, we do, but this song still makes me happy to listen to it)
8. Where Did the Love Go - Tegan & Sara (amazingly beautiful and (to me) haunting song)
9. I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor (every woman needs to know all the words to this song. Honestly, for a long time, I was only surviving five minutes at a time, and this song was really powerful to me during each of those five minutes.)
10. The Beekeeper - Tori Amos (”Don’t say it’s time to say goodbye to Pisces. I cried and I washed my tears that turned into diamond ice, into ice and if it could freeze my heart wouldn’t float away.” I. Love. This. Song.)

Hi. I love sad songs as well and really fell that Tegan and Sara song. Though I think it’s called “Where Does the Good Go.”
