It is an anthem when it comes to letting someone go, and it works even better when you find out the person didn’t contribute at all to the relationship. So, it is a song that invites you to be healthy, and it reminds you that it may hurt to let go, but it was worth it in the end. At first I was afraid, I was petrified I've got all my life to live Kept thinking I could never live without And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive you by my side I will survive, hey, hey But then I spent so many nights thinking It took all the strength I had not to fall apart how you did me wrong Kept trying hard to mend And I grew strong the pieces of my broken heart And I learned how to get along And I spent oh-so many nights just feeling sorry for myself And so you're back I used to cry From outer space But now I hold my head up high and you see me I just walked in to find you here with Somebody new that sad look upon your face I should have changed that stupid lock, I'm not that chained-up little person I should have made you leave your key still in love with you If I'd known for just one second you'd be And so you felt like dropping in back to bother me and just expect me to be free Go on now, go, walk out the door Well, now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me Just turn around now Go on now, go, walk out the door 'Cause you're not welcome anymore Just turn around now Weren't you the one who tried to hurt 'Cause you're not welcome anymore me with goodbye? Weren't you the one who tried You think I'd crumble? to break me with goodbye? You think I'd lay down and die? You think I'd crumble? Oh no, not I, I will survive You think I'd lay down and die? Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive Love on the Brain Love on the Brain was performed and wrote by Rihanna. Also, it is a song that talks about how can sometimes when you fall in love with someone, it goes beyond only loving with the heart, she calls it to love on the brain because it is a cage that she set up in her head, where she was convinced that she could never get over her lover. So, this song describes how we may feel when we find someone, and in some way, it helps you understand when love is not healthy anymore. And you got me like, oh Must be love on the brain What you want from me? And I tried to buy your pretty heart, but That's got me feeling this way (feeling this way) the price too high It beats me black and blue but it hurts me so good Baby you got me like, oh, mm And I can't get enough You love when I fall apart Must be love on the brain yeah So you can put me together And it keeps cursing my name (cursing my name) And throw me against the wall No matter what I do, I'm no good without you And I can't get enough Baby you got me like ah, woo, ah Must be love on the brain Don't you stop loving me (loving me) Don't quit loving me (loving me) I'm tired of being played like a violin Just start loving me (loving me) What do I gotta do to get in your heart? Oh, and baby I'm fist fighting with fire Just to get close to you Can we burn something, babe? And I run for miles just to get a taste Drivers License The song “Drivers License” it means what “You Belong With Me” was to millennials, a rallying cry for everyone who’s ever had feelings for someone who didn’t love them back. And while the pandemic rages on (COVID) , the emotional firecracker that is “Drivers License” offers a soundtrack for all of us to just pause for a second and feel things. It came right when we needed it. I got my driver's license last week And all my friends are tired Just like we always talked about Of hearing how much I miss you, but 'Cause you were so excited for me I kinda feel sorry for them To finally drive up to your house 'Cause they'll never know you But today I drove through the suburbs the way that I do, yeah Crying 'cause you weren't around Today I drove through the suburbs And pictured I was driving home to you And you're probably with that blonde girl Who always made me doubt Red lights, stop signs She's so much older than me I still see your face in the She's everything I'm insecure about white cars, front yards Yeah, today I drove through the suburbs Can't drive past the places we used to go to 'Cause how could I ever love someone else? 'Cause you know I still love you, babe (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) And I know we weren't perfect, but I've never felt this way for no one Sidewalks we crossed And I just can't imagine how you could be I still hear your voice in the traffic, so okay now that I'm gone we're laughing Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in Over all the noise that song about me God, I'm so blue, know we're through 'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone But you know I still love you, babe past your street (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh). Million Reasons Million Reasons was a song performed and wrote by Lady Gaga. She was found in a moment in her life where she felt alone even though she was “with the company,” this song was meant to be for her fans because, in the end, they were the ones who tried their best to help her in her dark moments. She feels that even if the lyrics were not very deep and meaningful, she found in simplicity something she could call beautiful. You're giving me a million reasons to let you go Head stuck in a cycle, I look off and I stare You're giving me a million reasons to quit the It's like that I've stopped breathing, show but completely aware You're giving me a million reasons 'Cause you're giving me a million reasons If I had a highway, I would run for the hills And if you say something that you might If you could find a dry way, I'd forever be still even mean But you're giving me a million reasons It's hard to even fathom which parts I Give me a million reasons should believe 'Cause you're giving me a million reasons I bow down to pray I try to make the worst seem better Every heartbreak makes it hard Lord, show me the way to keep the faith To cut through all his worn-out leather But, baby, I just need one good one I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away Good one, good one, good one, good one, But, baby, I just need one good one to stay good one Si una Vez This song was performed by Selena, a great Latin artist that was popular for her music and the way she would talk about love. She tried to make us understand with this song that it is ok to leave the one who is causing you pain and to don’t be so hard on yourself. This song has a strong message of empowerment and invites you to know your own worth. I gave you all of me and more If I once told you that I loved you, But you want and threw it out the door I will never again I did everything you asked to me Because my love is over and dead But you took my love for granted Now you're begging me not to leave And I, I wonder when you'll realize That you didn't even say your goodbye If I once told you that I loved you, I now regret it I did everything you asked of me If I once told you I loved you But you took my love for granted I know now that I must've been crazy Now you're begging me not to leave.
