I heard this song today for the first time and it only took one line to catch my attention. Taylor Swift has a funny way of perfectly describing heartbreak. I think I could post every song she's released in the past 2 years and I could probably relate to all of them. Thank you, Taylor, for being young and heartbroken.
I used to think one day, we'd tell the story of us.
How we met and the sparks flew instantly.
And people would say, "they're the lucky ones."
And I don't know what to say,
since a twist of fate when it all broke down.
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now.
Oh, I'm scared to see the ending.
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
I'd tell you I miss you, but I don't know how.
I've never heard silence quite this loud..

Since U Been Gone -- Kelly Clarkson
[Diary of Sarah Marshall] <-- personal blog :)
So when this song was first released, I was just getting out of a toxic relationship. Kelly Clarkson summed up very well my feelings not long after the split. I thought the song was written for me and I had so easily related to it. I haven't heard the song in quite some time and on my drive home from work this evening, I found myself singing along to it on the radio -- except this time, it was different. It brought back a flood of memories from that time in my life, but I was better able to relate it to the feeling I have about my most recent "situation," an exit from yet another toxic relationship. It's incredible how much a song can take you back, push you forward, and how it can make you feel!
Here's the thing, we started out friends.
It was cool, but it was all pretend.
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone.
You dedicated, you took the time.
It wasn't long 'til I called you mine.
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone.
And all you'd ever hear me say
is how I pictured me with you.
That's all you'd ever hear me say.
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 what I want,
since you been gone.
How can I put it? You put me on.
I even fell for that stupid love song.
yeah, yeah, since you been gone.
How come I'd never hear you say,
I just wanna be with you..?
Guess you never felt that way.
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 what I want,
since you been gone.
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.
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.
I can breathe for the first time.
I'm so movin' on, yeah, yeah.
Thanks to you now I get,
you should know that I get,
I get what I want,
since you been gone.

Goodbye My Lover -- James Blunt
A little emo, but this song was on repeat for months after my first heartbreak. Thanks James Blunt, for completely capturing the feeling of having to say goodbye.
Did I disappoint you? Or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty I let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun.
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right,
took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart, you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
Love is blind but that I knew when
my heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head,
shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.
Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend.
You have been the one, you have been the one for me.
Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend.
You have been the one, you have been the one for me.
I am a dreamer and when I wake,
you can't break my spirit, it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
remember us and all we used to be.
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the [mother] of your child,
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine.
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.
Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend.
You have been the one, you have been the one for me.
Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend.
You have been the one, you have been the one for me.
And I still hold your hand in mine,
in mine when I'm asleep.
And I will feel my soul in time,
when I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend.
You have been the one, you have been the one for me.
Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend.
You have been the one, you have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow...

Give Me Everything Tonight -- Pitbull ft. Ne-Yo, Nayer & AfroJack
This song rocks. Makes me wanna go out drinking, dancing, and smooching! It's the perfect club song!
Excuse me, and I might drink a little more than I should tonight.
And I might take you home with me, if I could tonight.
Baby I'm gonna make you feel so good tonight,
cuz we might not live tomorrow.

Rolling in the Deep (Cover) -- Mike Posner
Mike Posner and Adele bundled into one! What more could you ask for? Adele's growing popularity with her song "Rolling in the Deep" has led to many remixes. I find this one to be quite catchy! Not only is Mike Posner one sexy guy, this song in general is amazing. The lyrics are heart-wrenching and I'm sure many people find themselves relating to this song. Jam to this with me, people!
There's a fire starting in my heart,
reaching a fever pitch, it's bringing me out' the dark.
Finally, I can see you crystal clear.
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare.
See how I'll leave with every piece of you.
Don't underestimate the things that I will do.
There's a fire starting in my heart,
reaching a fever pitch , it's bringing me out' the dark
The scars of your love remind me of us,
they keep me thinking that we almost had it all.
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless.
I can't help thinking:
We could have had it all, rolling in the deep.
You had my heart and soul in your hand.
But you played it to the beat....
Baby, I have no story to be told.
But I've heard one on you, and I'm gonna make your head burn.
Think of me in the depths of your despair.
Make a home down there, cuz mine sure won't be shared.
The scars of your love remind me of us,
they keep me thinking that we almost had it all.
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless.
I can't help thinking:
We could have had it all, rolling in the deep.
You had my heart and soul in hour hand.
But you played it to the beat....
