Even though they&#8217;re a common enough occurrence and most, if not all, of us have experienced multiple breakups in our lifetime, each one feels new and different. If, like Tostoy says, happy families are all alike and every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way, then perhaps all happy couples are alike and every unhappy couple is unhappy in their own way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why every breakup feels so different. Because they are. During some you may feel elated and free, others may leave you feeling lost and untethered, while others leave you feeling a sort of grief\u2014a loss for what you had and what was. And when you&#8217;re feeling this way it often helps to hear of other&#8217;s experiences and to see your pain and feelings (even if it&#8217;s just confusing) reflected in their words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you through your breakup and to give you some words you can relate to, we compiled a list of over 70 breakup lyrics from various breakup songs. From the bittersweet and reflective to strong and generous, you&#8217;ll find a variety of lyrics from different artists to help you get through your own breakup. And hopefully move on to something stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"1239\" src=\"https:\/\/dq1eylutsoz4u.cloudfront.net\/2019\/03\/08151352\/break-up-lyrics-gwen.jpg\" alt=\"Break Up Lyrics: I don\u2019t know why I cry But I think it\u2019s \u2019cause \u0003I remembered for the first time Since I hated you That I used to love you\" class=\"wp-image-18766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dq1eylutsoz4u.cloudfront.net\/2019\/03\/08151352\/break-up-lyrics-gwen.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dq1eylutsoz4u.cloudfront.net\/2019\/03\/08151352\/break-up-lyrics-gwen-145x300.jpg 145w, https:\/\/dq1eylutsoz4u.cloudfront.net\/2019\/03\/08151352\/break-up-lyrics-gwen-496x1024.jpg 496w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t know why I cry<br>\nBut I think it\u2019s \u2019cause I remembered for the first time<br>\nSince I hated you<br>\nThat I used to love you<br>\n&#8211;
