Unrequited love breakup songs in Western music. World classics and popular tracks (91–100)
Time goes byEvery Little Thing
It’s a famous song by Every Little Thing that sold over a million copies.
The lyrics say it’d be nice if, someday, we could laugh about having argued and not being able to be honest.
If only we could turn a heartbreak into nourishment for life like that.
Listening to OliviaAnri
It’s a song that conveys the strength of a woman who, despite lingering feelings for the man she loved and memories of happier times, chooses to cut those ties herself and move forward.
The gentle melody and Anri’s vocals are soothing.
If you’re struggling with a painful love and feel like you can’t hold back your tears, give this song a listen.

Carried AwayPassion Pit
Passion Pit has ended up with just a single member now.
But as you can tell from the view counts on their videos, they’re still quite popular.
Their (well, it’s technically a project) songs often have a bright sound, yet the lyrics are suggestive and somewhat cynical.
This song vividly captures the feelings of a man who’s heartbroken, still very much in love with his ex, and wants to ramble on with excuses—making for very interesting lyrics.
