Gone through a messy break-up recently? With either a significant other or just a really close friend? Well unfortunately, I've experienced the latter this semester, which obviously sucked so much. But, I got through it, through the help of my friends, and also these songs! I've put together a list of 20 songs that I think really piece together everything I've been feeling this entire time. I call it 'Loss and Liberation' because the first ten songs deal with the loss of that one person you once held so dear, and then the last ten songs deal with the liberation from that person, now that they can no longer make any influence on your life or your decisions, in a way, you were better off without them :) I hope you find some solace in these songs, I know I have, and I hope this reaches one person out there struggling with the same thing!
Loss:
1. Avril Lavigne-Losing Grip
Choice Lyric: "Why should I care? Cause you weren't there, when I was scared, I was so alone. Why should I listen? If you don't care, then I don't care, we're not going anywhere"
2. Shontelle-Impossible
Choice Lyric: "Tell them I was happy, and my heart is broken, all my scars are open, tell them what I hoped would be impossible"

Choice Lyric: "You always love me more miles away, only hear it your voice when you're miles away, you're not afraid to tell me miles away, I guess we're at out best when we're miles away"
10. Madonna-Voices
Choice Lyric: "So you play madness like it's convenient, you do it so often that you start to believe it, you have demons so nobody can blame you, but who is the master and who is the slave?"

Choice Lyric: "I told you once, get out my life, I don't need ya, I'll be alright, but some things are better left unsaid"
*I realize some of these songs have meanings other than what I initially planned, but I still interpret these songs as relevant to the mood of the playlist*
