Tear-jerking Western breakup songs: recommended classics and popular hits

The ReasonHoobastank

Hoobastank – The Reason (Official Music Video)

This song captures the bittersweet emotions of a man who deeply regrets having hurt her and decides to leave her in order to change himself.

With a relaxed tempo and a gentle, emotional tone, it’s the kind of song that might make you cry when you listen to it after a breakup.

I Don’t Love YouMy Chemical Romance

My Chemical Romance – I Don’t Love You [Official Music Video] [HD]

It’s a rock ballad by My Chemical Romance, who don’t often do love songs.

The lyrics are about a breakup—bringing up the end of a relationship while putting on a brave face, which makes it all the more heartbreaking.

The music video is retro, quirky, and cute, so I especially recommend women enjoy the song together with the MV.

Now You’re Not HereSwing Out Sister

Swing Out Sister – Now youre not here No Scrub LIVE

I think everyone has felt, after breaking up with someone they deeply love, that they want to quickly forget their feelings for that person.

I really like lyrics that seem to speak on behalf of people with those feelings.

I think it’s a song that many girls can relate to.

As we gradually grow up, we become more adept at many things, but heartbreak is still hard.

This song feels like the very last moment when the pain of a broken heart finally starts to fade.
