Unrequinted Love Songs

[_Ambience_]

It's the typical story: I love him; he thinks we're just really good friends; he loves her and they're happy together; I want him to be happy, but it still hurts. I'm feeling self indulgent and therefore pretty much ready to plop down and mope about this whole mess, so bring on the sob story songs. Anything that could relate to situation would be great.

I always loved Your Boyfriend Sucks by the Ataris and I'm the One by the Descendants (though they are role reversal from your story)

Cliche but You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift

Unfortunately, I can't be mad at the chick he's with, because she's actually a really sweet girl (if a little bland). However, these made me laugh.

unrequited love-chasing victory
This is the only one that makes any sense. Just look at the title.

cant let go- landon pigg

"Well youre the closest thing I have
To bring up in a conversation
About a love that didnt last
But I could never call you mine
Cause I could never call myself yours
And if we were really meant to be
Well then we justify destiny
Its not that our love died
Just never really bloomed"

ok i have to bring this one back. There is so many unrequited love stories but not that many songs that aren't ridiculously lame and we could all use a few good songs about this topic


anywhere but here-safetysuit
el scorcho-weezer
open your eyes-snow patrol

[CaryGrant]

How the hell do you requint something?

[mymaryjane87]

chiodos- lindsay quit lollygagging (acoustic)
perfect for what youre looking for..even though he is singing it to a girl

[de1337ed]

i always think of:
mae - just let go

i used to have a whole playlist devoted to this, but unfortunately i deleted it after the girl and i started going out and broke up 2 years later.
i'll keep this thread in mind tho and might add some more later if i think of any.

edit:
also try
My Favorite Highway - What Are You Waiting For?
Goot - Scared
FM Static - Take Me As I Am

[Clockwork00]

Holiday Parade's "Walking By" seems to be a good one.
