Ugh, Valentine’s Day is upon us, which can mean one of three things: you’re either in a loving relationship, you’re happily single, or you just got your heart broken conveniently right before this bullshit holiday. If you fall in the ladder category, my condolences. There’s a handful of ways to grieve a breakup but it mostly comes down to wallowing in your feelings. And what’s a better way to wallow then with a post-breakup playlist?
Well, look no further because I’ve gathered all of the breakup song classics, including “Potential Breakup Song” because… duh? As well as some tear jerkers to get you going like Celine Deon’s “All By Myself.” There’s nothing wrong with a little self pity when you’re going through it. If you’re looking for something beyond a list of songs I recommend walking by the river on a cold day pretending you’re in a music video and/or deep-throating a pizza.
