And they all just recall / Memories of you"
89. “Since I Fell For You” by Nina Simone
An ex can take part of your heart with them when they go, and you're forever changed.
"Love brings such misery and pain / I guess I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you"
90. “Far Away” by Nickelback
"Far Away" is about wanting just a little more time with an ex, even before they were your ex.
"Just one chance, just one breath / Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know, you know, you know / That I love you
I have loved you all along / And I miss you
Been far away, for far too long"
91. "Always" by Bon Jovi
When you were deeply in love with someone who broke your heart, the pain will take some time to get over.
"I can't sing a love song / Like the way it's meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore / But baby, that's just me"
92. "I Will Remember You" by Sarah McLachlan
Take the good from a relationship and be content with what's left. It's an important step to take.
"I'm so tired but I can't sleep / Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word / We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard"
93. “I Miss You” by blink-182
Maybe you regret your actions, and now, the memory of your ex won't go away as you try to move on.
"Where are you? And I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep, I cannot dream tonight / I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness / Comes creeping on so haunting every time"
94. “When I Was Your Man” by Bruno Mars
The remorse after a relationship is over can eat you alive, and that regret may never subside.
"My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways / Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, oh / And it haunts me every time I close my eyes"
95. "Homesick" by MercyMe
This song is about a man praying from his broken heart, and how doing so can be incredibly healing.
"I close my eyes and I see your face / If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength / To make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now"
96. “Miss You More” by Katy Perry
The heartbreak you feel after a breakup, even when you weren't really in love, is always surprising.
"Saw a balloon floating away / I thought, 'Did someone let go, or did they lose it?'
So strange, you know all my secrets / Please keep them safe
And darling, you know I'll do the same / (You know I'll do the same)"
97. "When I Was Older" by Billie Eilish
When you feel like you're drowning, it's normal and sometimes comforting to relive the memories of the past.
"I'm on my back again / Dreaming of a time and place
Where you and I remain the best of friends / Even after all this ends
Can we pretend?"
98. “Here Without You” by 3 Doors Down
Everywhere you go without the one you love, you can't stop thinking about how much you wish they were there with you.
"Everything I know / And anywhere I go
It gets hard / But it won't take away my love"
99. “Lay Me Down” by Sam Smith
Through the tears and that hole in your heart, you just want to be around your ex again, even if they caused you a great deal of pain.
"Told me not to cry when you were gone / But the feeling's overwhelming
It's much too strong / Can I lay by your side, next to you?
And make sure you're alright / I'll take care of you
And I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight"
100. “Missing My Baby” by Selena
Your ex may not want to get back together, but that won't stop you from wishing you could be with them one day.
"You're always on my mind / Day and night
When I think of you, boy / Everything feels so right
Well, I often think of the happy times we spent together / And I just can't wait
To tell you that I love you"
101. “I Never Told You” by Colbie Caillat
When you miss someone you truly love, you're reminded of them all the time.
"I see your blue eyes / Every time I close mine
You make it hard to see / Where I belong to when I'm not around you
It's like I'm not with me"
