Excuse me, but… what? All of those songs portrayed me as the villain, but I was sad too!Īs I lay in bed feeling awful because every break-up consolation song was condemning me, I was saddened by how few songs there were for people who did the healthy, mature thing that needed to be done. Just a few of the disparaging songs that came up on my search were “i hate u, i love u” by gnash, “Someone Like You” by Adele, “Gives You Hell” by The All-American Rejects, and “Picture to Burn” by Taylor Swift. I tried looking up break-up playlists on Spotify and immediately regretted it. Those classic songs sung by an irate Taylor Swift, roasting an ex who hurt her - I was the bad guy in her songs. I realized soon after that most of the post-break-up music out there was for the people who had been dumped.


Music is always there for me it helps me interpret my life and makes me feel as though I’m living in a movie. My cheesy ass needed a longtime friend to help me get through the tough times. At the end of my first relationship, I was the one who did the breaking up.
