5 Songs to Avoid at All Costs After a breakup Breakups: theyre the worst, right? Whether youre the dumper or the dumpee, somebody leaves with a broken heart. Music can do wonders to help heal that broken heart and help someone get over an ex — Lady Antebellums Bartender, anyone? — but there are also a dangerous number of romantic songs that can inflict further damage on an already-broken heart. Heres a list of five such songs below, all of which you should avoid at all costs if youre going through a break-up. 1. Taylor Swift -- Love Story Why you should avoid it: If you know your Shakespeare, then youre aware that Romeo and Juliet is actually a tragedy. But that doesnt mean that Taylor Swift singing about her one and only Romeo in Love Story is any less painful after a break-up. Hey Taylor, maybe you should brush up on your classic literat... *buries head in pillow and cries*. Sappiest lyric: Marry me Juliet, youll never have to be alone / I love you and thats all I really know / I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress / Its a love story, baby just say yes... 2. Bruno Mars -- Just The Way You Are Why you should avoid it: Theres nothing worse than having Bruno Mars all up in your grill, telling you how perfect you are, when the one you love just threw you to the curb a day or two ago. Seriously, Bruno: STAHP. Sappiest lyric: When I see your face / Theres not a thing that I would change / Cause youre amazing / Just the way you are... 3. Katy Perry -- Unconditionally Why you should avoid it: So your ex said that he or she would love you unconditionally, just like the Katy Perry song, huh? Well it was all a LIE! Dont press play unless you want to hear Katy repeat that lie over swelling soft pop music. Sappiest lyric: There is no fear now / Let go and just be free / I will love you unconditionally... 4.John Legend -- All Of Me Why you should avoid it: John Legends love song dedicated to his wife is gorgeous on paper, but listening to it post-breakup reinforces the fact that your own version of All of Me turned to None of Me in the blink of an eye. Zip it, John! Sappiest lyric: Cause all of me / Loves all of you / Love your curves and all your edges / All your perfect imperfections... 5.Ellie Goulding -- How Long Will I Love You Why you should avoid it: Weve got love for you, Ellie, but a sappy love song like this one is not OK right now. I mean, just look at that title! If you need us, well be overdosing on ice cream with the lights off in bed, thanks very much. Sappiest lyric: How long will I love you / As long as stars are above you
