"Death by a Thousand Cuts" by Taylor Swift,

“Death By A Thousand Cuts” compares the possible break-up of a relationship to a slow, painful death. It was inspired by the Netflix film Someone Great, rather than an aspect of Swift’s personal relationship, although she had dreams that she was going through the same thing in her life.


 SONG LYRICS

Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
Flashbacks waking me up
I get drunk, but it's not enough
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier's still flickering here
'Cause I can't pretend it's ok when it's not
It's death by a thousand cuts
I dress to kill my time
I take the long way home
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be all right
They say, "I don't know"
And what once was ours is no one's now
I see you everywhere
The only thing we share
Is this small town
You said it was a great love
One for the ages
But if the story's over
Why am I still writing pages?
'Cause saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
Flashbacks waking me up
I get drunk, but it's not enough
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier still flickering here
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
It's death by a thousand cuts
My heart, my hips, my body, my love
Trying to find a part of me that you didn't touch
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug
Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club
Our songs, our films, united we stand
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand
Paper cut stings from our paper thin plans
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
Trying to find a part of me you didn't take up
Gave you too much but it wasn't enough
But I'll be all right, it's just a thousand cuts
I get drunk but it's not enough
'Cause you're not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier's still flickering here
'Cause I can't pretend it's ok when it's not
No, it's not
It's death by a thousand cuts (you didn't touch)
Trying to find a part of me that you didn't touch
My body, my love, my trust (it's death by a thousand cuts)
But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no
I take the long way home
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be all right
They say, "I don't know"

Alive with the Glory of Love by Say Anything

Image
An upbeat, lively single, “Alive with The Glory Of Love” was written about singer Max Bemis' grandparents, who were Holocaust survivors.Bemis' Jewish upbringing factors into many of Say Anything’s songs (“Wow I Can Get Sexual, Too”, “Hebrews”, etc.) LYRICS [Verse 1] When I watch you, wanna do you Right where you're standing (Yeah) Right on the foyer, on this dark day Right in plain view (Oh, yeah) Of the whole ghetto The boots stomp meadows But we ignore that (Yeah) You're lovely, baby This war is crazy I won't let you down Oh, no, no [Chorus] No I won't let them take you, won't let them take you Hell no, no, oh no I won't let them take you, won't let them take you Hell no, no [Post-Chorus] No Oh, no no no!

"Space Cowboy" by Kacey Musgraves

Image
Kacey seems to be saying that she is okay with her significant other leaving for some time. She recognizes the fact that they had their good times together, but it is time to move on because it is the best for the both of them. He is claiming he needs space, and she is willing to give it to him because their love has faded. LYRICS OF Space Cowboy [Verse 1] You look out the window while I look at you Saying I don't know would be like saying that the sky ain't blue And boots weren't made for sitting by the door Since you don't wanna stay anymore [Chorus] You can have your space, cowboy I ain't gonna fence you in Go on, ride away in your Silverado Guess I'll see you 'round again I know my place, and it ain't with you Well sunsets fade, and love does, too Yeah, we had our day in the sun When a horse wants to run, there ain't no sense in closing the gate You can have your space, cowboy [Verse 2] After the gold rush, there ain't no reason to stay Shoul...

Feel these Saddest Purest Love Songs of All Time

Image
We as a whole partake in a celebratory and, might we venture to say it, marginally sappy love melody that revels in the excellence of human association. However, now and again the track that truly hits home is more solemn. A portion of the miserable love tunes in this assortment have the ability to make you cry, and may try and assist you with repairing a wrecked heart after a separation. A small bunch of '90s works of art (Whitney Houston's "I Will Continuously Cherish You," Toni Braxton's "Un-Make Me extremely upset") and R&B; hits are on the rundown, as are better numbers that would be at home on a Valentine's Day playlist assuming you're spending the occasion solo . Many filter through the rubble of past connections (Drake's "Marvin's Room," Lauryn Slope's "Ex-Element"), while others are about the transitory alleviation of association, regardless of whether you know it's not with the perfect individual...
