Top 15+ Break Up, Moving On and Letting Go Songs

Is being in a relationship worth all the heartaches? Falling in love is a big risk. It's like offering your heart to someone and saying, "Here, do what you like with it. I give up my control." You become vulnerable. For it is only with openness you can truly experience true love because love cannot exist without pain. You appreciate love better if there is pain and so heartaches are permanent maladies of couples who have been duped by love. Love is a paradox. So, if this is the case, how do you guard your heart?

But why do we search for love if we are already complete? Do we really need a better half? Aren't we already better by our single lonesome fabulous self? Why do women associate their worth by being in a relationship? We can survive without men. We will always feel lonely and sad even if we are in a relationship. We can also find happiness on our own. What's the difference?

Maybe because we are social beings and God ha created us not to be alone. We crave for company, for someone to build a relationship and memories with, to share life with...Just imagine, if you are able to give this kind of love to the man you were with before, how much love and sacrifice are you willing to give to the man God has ordained for you?

1. We Don't Talk Anymore by Charlie Puth

We don't talk anymore
Like we used to do
We don't love anymore
What was all of it for...

2. Sorry by Justin Bieber

I know you know that I made those mistakes maybe once or twice
And by once or twice I mean maybe a couple of hundred times
So let me, oh, let me redeem, oh, redeem, oh, myself tonight
'Cause I just need one more shot, second chances
Is it too late now to say sorry?

3. I hate you, I love you by Gnash

Still missing you
And I can't
See the end of this...

And now all this time
Is passing by
But I still can't seem to tell you why
It hurts me every time I see you

I hate that I love you
Don't want to but I can't put nobody else above you

I miss you when I can't sleep
Or right after coffee
Or right when I can't eat

Do you miss me like I miss you?

Friends can break your heart too,And I'm always tired but never of you
If I pulled a you on you, you wouldn't like that shit
I put this reel out, but you wouldn't bite that shit
I type a text but then I never mind that shit
I got these feelings but you never mind that shit
Oh oh, keep it on the low
You're still in love with me but your friends don't know
If you wanted me you would just say so
And if I were you, I would never let me go

Wedding bells were just alarms
Caution tape around my heart
You ever wonder what we could have been?

Sometimes you gotta burn some bridges just to create some distance
I know that I control my thoughts and I should stop reminiscing

I guess this is moving on

4. Don't Let me Down by The Chainsmokers

Running out of time
I really thought you were on my side
But now there's nobody by my side

5. Should've Been Us by Tori Kelly

Dressed up, got my heart messed up

It's unfair that I still care

Thinking it could be different
But maybe we missed it
It should've been us
Shoulda been a fire, shoulda been the perfect storm

Coulda been the real thing
Now we'll never know for sure

We were crazy, but amazing, baby we both knowBack and forth like a tug of war
What's it all for, do I want it back
I still got a little flame for ya
Even though you drove me mad
Now and then, I pretend
That it's you when I close my eyes

6. You and Me by Marc E. Bassy

If we bump into each other
On a crowded street
It’s not us no more
It’s just you and me
We’re just strangers in passing casually

7. Skinny Love by Bon Iver

Come on skinny love just last the year

Pour a little salt we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind

Come on skinny love what happened here

Now all your love is wasted?
Then who the hell was I?

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?

8. The One that Got Away by Katy Perry

Talk about our future

Like we had a clue

Never planned that one day

I'd be losing you

In another life

I would be your girl

We'd keep all our promises

Be us against the world

In another life

I would make you stay

So I don't have to say

You were the one that got away

The one that got away

It's time to face the music

I'm no longer your muse

9. I'm Not The Only One by Sam Smith

You and me, we made a vow
For better or for worse
I can't believe you let me down
But the proof's in the way it hurts

For months on end I've had my doubts
Denying every tear
I wish this would be over now

You've been so unavailable
Now sadly I know why
Your heart is unobtainable
Even though Lord knows you kept mine

I have loved you for many years
Maybe I am just not enough
You've made me realize my deepest fear
By lying and tearing us up

10. Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone by Bill Withers

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away.
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away.
And I know, I know, I know, I know,

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Only darkness every day.

11. Don't Know Why by Nora Jones

My heart is drenched in wine

But you'll be on my mind

Forever

Out across the endless sea

I would die in ecstasy

But I'll be a bag of bones

Driving down the road alone

12. My Feeling by Junior Jack

When I think about you
My feelings can't explain
Why after all this time
My feelings can't explain?
You're still on my mind...

13. Stay by Lisa Loeb

and I thought what I felt was simple,
and I thought that I don't belong,
and now that I am leaving,
now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I missed you.
yeah, I missed you.

14. Officially Missing You by Tamia

All I hear is raindrops

Falling on the rooftop

Oh baby tell me why’d you have to go

Cause this pain I feel

It wont go away

And today

I’m officially missing you

I thought that from this heartache

I could escape

But I fronted long enough to know

There ain’t no way

And today

I’m officially missing you

15. Insensitive by Jann Arden

Oh, you probably won't remember me
It's probably ancient history
I'm one of the chosen few
Who went ahead and fell for you
I'm out of vogue, I'm out of touch
I fell too fast, I feel too much

Maybe you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive

16. I Try by Macy Gray

Games, changes, and fears
When will they go from here?
When will they stop?
I believe that fate has brought us here
And we should be together, babe,
But we're not

I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin.

I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

I may appear to be free,
But I'm just a prisoner of your love
I may seem alright and smile when you leave,
But my smiles are just a front, just a front

Here is my confession

May I be your possession

Boy, I need your touch,

Your love kisses, and such

With all my might I try,

But this I can't deny

I think heartbreaks from losing someone because of death is easier. There is a definite closure. You know they are in a better place and they will not come back to haunt you. It's a definite end to everything.

Meanwhile, break ups with the living is terrible. They will haunt you in Facebook, Instagram, in every food you eat, place you see, in every moment you live... If you are unfortunate enough to live in the same zip code, you will bump to each other in the mall or even share the same circle of friends. There is also these clouds of what ifs hanging over your head. Like what if he was the one that got away?

If you just came out of a heartbreak and trying to let go and move on, cheer up! God blessed you with a wonderful experience, no matter how brief it was. Think about it, you may even want to experience this pain over and over again just to spend an extra day with him again. Life is beautiful and so are you. It has many more surprises for you. And if you two are truly meant to be, he will pursue you. Maybe love will find a way.

If you still desire to be in a relationship and maybe one day get married, remember your lessons learned and focus on improving yourself during your waiting period. Go on solo adventures. Travel. Jump off cliffs into the deep waters and scream out your frustrations and drown your emotions. Cry if you must. Let those tears flow and wash your soul.

Read books on self-improvement and relationships or just anything that interests you. Be a modern day Proverbs 31 woman.  Learn a new survival skill like  cooking or sewing. Read the Bible and be inspired how Ruth got her Boaz. Pray without ceasing. All of these will make you a better wife and mother in the future. 

You will find the love you deserve and when you do, tell me how God wrote your love story.
