When feelings of love grow too strong, a possessive streak can emerge.

It’s an unrequited love song that sings about the feeling of never being able to forget even the smallest things—the places we went together, the views we saw, the other person’s actions—and how recalling them makes your heart ache.

Since the last line of the chorus ends in colloquial speech, it creates a different vibe from other songs; rather than simple sadness, a strong sense of frustration really comes through.

ChocorationTensions

A sweet and bittersweet love song from the music duo Tensions! The diary-like lyrics, which capture a girl’s feelings as she struggles to express herself and wishes the other person would notice sooner, make this track especially memorable.

Even though she knows being straightforward is best, she’s afraid of getting rejected and losing the relationship, and when the person is right in front of her, she panics—that’s the tricky part of unrequited love.

For anyone wrestling with the haze of a one-sided crush, this song is packed with moments you’ll relate to.
