The Breakup Playlist.

Since it's love month, at least unofficially, let's talk about romance, it's bitter endings. Yeah. I'd like to delve into the emotion of sadness, particularly over a breakup. Here are songs I fancy listening to when I feel that [inevitable] sadness creeping in again. (I know I'm no expert in breakups. But these songs help, really. And no, I don't feel like listening to mellows whenever I'm sad. So Adele's not on this list.)

I Lived, OneRepublic

Best lines: [I] hope that you fall in love, and it hurts so bad | The only way you can learn is give it all you have | And I hope that you don't suffer, but take the pain

Also: They did this inspirational music video that enhances the song one hundred times.

Try, P!nk

Best lines: Just because it burns, doesn't mean you're gonna die | You gotta get up and try, try, try

Also: The music video is an artistic representation of your emotional struggle.

3 Things, Jason Mraz

Best lines: I go where I know the love is | and let it fill me up inside | Gathering new strength from sorrow | I'm glad to be alive

Also: There isn't an official music video for this song (sad), but you may sing along with this official audio.

Face Down, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Best lines: One day this world's goin' to end | As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found

Also: I know right! Alternative punk rock for a breakup song, why not? The song about breaking away from an abusive relationship, along with the screamo at the bridge and coda part, is perfect. The music video is here.

One For the Pain, Lifehouse

Best lines: Coz the war is over now, now | Life is back in color now || Walk away from this madness that I crave

Also: For you folks who are having a long-term attachment to something you know you shouldn't. The official audio is here.

Here Comes The Sun, The Beatles

Best lines: Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces | Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here

Also: Just the first few chords of this song are uplifting enough.
