Break up quotes from songs

So you love music? I do, too. Music sucks for the brokenheart. But these break up quotes from songs really make sense.

You might be a big fish

In a little pond

Doesn't mean you've won

'Cause along may come

A bigger one

And you'll be lost

Every river that you tried to cross

Every gun you ever held went off

And I'm just waiting till the firing starts

And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off

-Lost by Coldplay

It's been months

And for some reason I just

(can't get over us)

And I'm stronger than this

(enough is enough)

No more walking round

With my head down

I'm so over being blue

Crying over you

-So Sick by Neyo

I'm gonna smile, cause I want to make you happy

Laugh, so you can't see me cry

I'm gonna let you go in style

And even if it kills me

I'm gonna smile

-Smile by Lone Star

Why don't you love me
The way I loved you
It feels so crazy
Cause I dunno 
What I did to you
If you're gonna hurt me
Then do it quickly
Cause I'm tired of cryin'
If you don't wanna 
Stick around
Then, baby 
Forget about me

-Forget about Me - Little Bit

Well, I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

-Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy

Let me be the one to break it up 
So you won't have to make excuses 
We don't need to find a set up where 
Someone wins and someone loses 
We just have to say our love was true 
But has now become a lie 
So I'm tellin' you I love you one last time 
And goodby

-Let Me be the One by Jimmy Bondoc

"Time wounds all heals.” From Ally McBeal

I can't do this anymore.” -Brooke breaks up with Lucas from One Tree Hill

Break up quotes from books

Our story has three parts: a beginning, a middle, and an end. And although this is the way all stories unfold, I still can't believe that ours didn't go on forever." 
— Nicholas Sparks (Dear John)

"Anyone who is in love is making love the whole time, even when they're not. When two bodies meet, it is just the cup overflowing. They can stay together for hours, even days. They begin the dance one day and finish it the next, or--such is the pleasure they experience--they may never finish it. No eleven minutes for them." 
— Paulo Coelho (Eleven Minutes)

7 Tips Getting Over a Break Up...

Getting Over a Break Up

1. Letting Go

What would you do if your house was burnt to the ground, 'n everything you owned was destroyed? I’m sure you’d be frustrated 'n angry at first, but at the same time, no amount of anger will undo what has been done. It is what it is. Your best bet is to begin moving on, 'n working towards creating a new home.

Similarly, when a relationship ends, you’ll want to practice letting go 'n allowing the healing process to begin quickly.

If you were on the receiving end of a breakup, do not dwell on whether the person will come back or not, if they broke up with you at one point, chances are, something is wrong with the fit of your partnership, 'n you’ll be better appreciated elsewhere, with someone else. Even if you 'n the ex get back together, it is unlikely to last (from my experience).

Trust that everything in the Universe happens for a reason, 'n it benefits everyone involved in the long run, even if the benefits are not yet clear. Trust that this is the best possible thing to happen to you right now, 'n the reasons will become clear in the future.

2. Release Tension 'n Bundled Up Energy

We all have the need to be understood 'n heard. Whether we’re on the receiving end or the initiating end of a breakup, we often carry with us the tension 'n any unexpressed emotions. We can release this extra energy by:

Talking about it with a friend.
Voicing our opinions honestly 'n openly with our ex-partner, which have been bottled up in the past.
Punching a pillow 'n crying freely for 10 minutes
Screaming out aloud 'n imagining unwanted energy being released with your voice (seriously, I’ve done a meditation that incorporated this, 'n I instantly felt better).
Writing in a journal (more on this later).
Exercise 'n body movement.
Meditating.

3. Love Yourself

The practice of loving yourself is the most important aspect on the road to personal happiness 'n emotional stability. I’ve personally had my most valuable personal growth spurts during the period when I vigorously worked on this aspect of my life.

I did everything from cooking myself fancy dinners, to spending every Sunday on my own doing the things that I loved, to taking myself to Symphonies, to taking overseas trips on my own. Each one had its own challenges 'n confronted my beliefs about loneliness. Through overcoming the fear of loneliness, I experienced deep joy all by myself. It was so gratifying, refreshing 'n empowering.

Here are some ideas to cultivate the art of loving yourself:

Take yourself on romantic dates as if you were on a date with another person. Put on nice clothes, maybe buy yourself flowers, treat yourself to something delicious, 'n take long walks under the stars. Whatever your idea of a romantic date is.

Look at yourself in the mirror. Look yourself in the eyes. Smile slightly with your eyes. Practice giving gratitude to what you see. You don’t need words. Just send out the intent of giving an abundance of love to the eyes that you see, 'n feel the feelings of love within you. As you are looking into your eyes, look for something you admire about your eyes – maybe the color, the shape, the depth, the exoticness, or even the length of your eye lashes. This will be a little weird 'n uncomfortable at first, but just trust me, 'n continue with it. Do this for a few minutes every day.

Sit or stand in front of a mirror, or sit somewhere comfortable (mix it up, 'n do both on different days), put both hands on your chest 'n say to yourself, “I love you, <insert your name>”. Repeat a few times, slowly. Continue with qualities you like about yourself, or things you are good at. Be generous 'n list many, even if they sound silly. Example, “I love that you always know how to make your salads so colorful 'n appetizing.”, “I love that you have the discipline to go to the gym regularly, 'n you really take care of your body.”, “I love that you are so neat, 'n can keep your desk so organized.”

Practice doing things on your own to challenge your fear of being alone. For example, if you have a fear of eating alone in a restaurant, go out to a restaurant on your own. Your mission is to find the joy within that experience.

4. Love Your Ex-Partner

Allow the love within you to flow. Try practicing forgiveness 'n open up your heart.

Over the past few months, my friend Tom Stine 'n I have been chatting about the topic of overcoming breakups. Tom had been married for 13 years 'n went through a divorce that took him 2 years to emotionally recover from. When asked about how he got over his ex-wife, he had a few snippets of wisdom to convey:

“I let myself love her. Even when it felt like my heart was going to break. Adyashanti says something amazing – when people say, ‘My heart feels like it is going to break.’ He says, ‘Let it break. If you let it really break – really, really break, it will transform you.’”
 

“LET YOUR HEART BREAK WIDE OPEN. Let go of every possible belief or thought that says your ex is anything other than the most incredible, amazing, wonderful person in the Universe. You gotta love them 'n open your broken heart, WIDE OPEN!!!! That’s how to get over a break-up, really get over it. Anything short of that is not gonna do it.”

“The key for me was getting utterly clear: we are apart, 'n the Universe never makes mistakes. We are over. 'n I can still love her. That was HUGE. I can love her with all my heart 'n soul 'n we never have to be together. 'n when I realized that, I felt amazing. 'n still do. The freedom was great. I could finally own-up to how much I wanted out of our relationship. All the hurt 'n anger disappeared. I was free.”

The underlying message of love in Tom’s words is pretty clear 'n powerful.

5. Give it Time

It takes time to heal. Be patient. Give it more time. I promise the storm will end, 'n the sun will peak through the clouds.

6. Journal Your Experience

Spend some quality time in a comfortable chair, at your desk or at a café, 'n write your thoughts 'n feelings on paper. No, not typing on a laptop, writing on paper with a pen. Follow your heart 'n flow freely, but if you’re stuck, here are some writing exercises you can do:

Drill into the why – Start with a question or statement, 'n continue to drill into why you feel that way until you have a truthful 'n satisfying reason. The exercise isn’t to issue blame or blow off steam at someone else. It’s meant to gain clarity 'n understanding into how you feel, so you can alleviate unnecessary pain. For example, you might start with the statement, “I am in a lot of pain, ouch!”, 'n your why might be “because she left me”. Now ask yourself, “why does that hurt so much?”, 'n one possible why might be, “because I feel abandoned”. The following why to “why does feeling abandoned hurt so much?”, “because it makes me feel alone”, etc. More than likely, the real reason has something to do with our own insecurities or fears.

Finding the Lessons – What did you learn from the relationship? What did you learn from the other person? How is your life better because of it? How will your future relationships be better because of it?

7. Read Something Inspirational

Books that deal with our emotions 'n ego are incredible tools at a time of healing. They help to enlighten our understanding of ourselves 'n our experiences.

How to Cope with Your Partner Leaving...

I’ve had my share of heart breaks 'n understand what it feels like to be on the receiving end. It hurts, it really hurts. You feel like it’s the end of the world, 'n you wonder how you can possibly get over it. You will feel pain 'n despair, but I promise you, you will get over it. Time is the magic ingredient.

How to Cope with Your Partner Leaving...

I will have an in depth article on this topic soon. For now, here are some pointers for those on the receiving end of breakups. These have been helpful for me in the past.

    Talk With Friends – In verbalizing your thoughts 'n options, you’ll gain better understanding 'n perspective.

    Surround Yourself with Positive Energy – Be surrounded by friends 'n family. Be around happy 'n optimistic people. Be around people you like. Be around people who can make you laugh.

    Love Yourself – Spend time inwards with loving yourself. Doing things to appreciate 'n love yourself will help you gain the self confidence 'n independence you need to heal. When was the last time you really appreciated yourself?

    It’s Okay to Cry – In fact, I recommend it. Express the pain 'n let it all out. Don’t hold anything back, cry fully. Letting it out will be liberating for your being. It’s okay to cry.

    Find the Lesson – What did you learn through this relationship? I’m a big believer that good can come out of every situation, even ones we’ve perceived as bad. Focus on what you’ve gained in life lessons that you wouldn’t have learned otherwise.

    Fully Experiencing the Pain – When pain strikes, our instinct is to avoid it. We distract ourselves with other tasks while suppressing the pain. This doesn’t actually make the pain go away. “What we resist, persists.” The best way to deal with the pain is by fully facing it. Closing your eyes, fully experience that feeling of sharp pain within your being, 'n become the observer of that pain within you. Separate the observer from the pain.

    Gratitude Visualization – Put your hands on your heart 'n gently shut your eyes. Visualize all the things, experiences, 'n people that you are thankful for. If you are visualizing a person, see their face smiling at you with joy 'n kindness. Give thanks for all the things we take for granted, parts of our body, the things we enjoy about our jobs, people who love us. Give thanks to your heart, which works continuously, without which we wouldn’t be here. Give thanks to our safe homes, the abundance of food, 'n clothing to keep us warm. Give thanks to people who have been kind to us. Give thanks to authors who have inspired us. Gratitude puts you in a state of love, acceptance 'n understanding.

    Benefits to Me? – Focus on how this new situation can help you. Maybe you will now have the free time to pursue something that’s important to you. Maybe you can gain the independence 'n freedom you’ve wanted to experience for yourself.

    Time Heals – After the initial shock has sunk in 'n you’ve had plenty of communication with your ex, take time to be separated from your ex partner. It’s hard to gain clarity, perspectives 'n independence while being reminded of them constantly. I recommend taking a few weeks to be apart: no meeting, no emails, no phone calls. With time, you will heal.

    Silence Heals – Sit silently 'n observe your emotions 'n thoughts. Have a journal 'n pen at your side. When you have a realization, write it down in your journal. Use journaling as a tool to help you sort out your thoughts. It has the power to help you gain clarity.

How to Break Up with Someone...

Once you’ve decided that parting ways is the best solution, doing the actual break up can be pretty nerve racking, since people’s hearts are on the line. Here is a series of steps to help you through it and suggestions of ways to reduce pain caused to the other person.

1. Clarity

Make sure you understand why you are doing it. Sometimes the surface reason isn’t the real reason. Dig deep within yourself to find the real reason. Being surrounded by the situation can cloud your judgment. Separate yourself from the situation and spend some alone time. This will help you gain the clarity you need. I’ve found journaling to be an effective tool.

2. Self Honesty

Make the commitment to be honest with yourself and the other person. The truth will set you free. Be committed to that.

3. Setup Meeting Time

Setup mutual time to talk to your partner as soon as possible. Some people are opposed to phone breakups. I think that face-to-face is always best, but if distance separates you, it’s best to do so as soon as possible rather than waiting.

4. State of Compassion

Before your meeting, get into a state of compassion for the other person. In a state of compassion, you will exude love and understanding, which you’ll need to help the other person heal. Some suggestions to help you get into a compassionate state:

    Deep Breathing – Stand up straight, close your eyes, and place your hand on your heart. Take deep, long inhales and exhales. You can count the inhale/exhale length. After inhaling, hold your breath for a 5 count before exhaling slowly. Repeat at least 15 times.
    Gratitude - Sit somewhere comfortable, close your eyes, and picture everything you are grateful for. One by one, images of people, situations, places, and things appear in your imagination. Alternatively, try writing this down instead of visualizing.
    Focus on Love - Close your eyes. Optionally, put on some slow music which you enjoy. In your imagination, go back to all the times when you felt loved and when you felt love for others. Imagine times where you truly felt happy and free. Imagine yourself as a little kid, experiencing joy and freedom. Do this exercise for at least 5-10 minutes.

5. The Meeting

During the meeting, focus on communicating your reasons clearly and respectfully for the sake of the other person. Here are some additional pointers for when explaining yourself during the meeting:

    When explaining, focus on how things made you feel, this way your partner doesn’t get defensive. Make it clear that the situation is not their fault, since blaming doesn’t add value in helping the situation.
    Talk about things you’ve learned from the relationship and what you are grateful for.
    Be Genuine in everything that you say. If you don’t mean something, don’t say it. People can detect when you are not being authentic.

6. Be There

Your partner will get emotional and possibly very upset. They will bounce between different emotional states. Your job is to be there for them. Become the observer of the situation. Stay conscious, calm and alert.

7. Don’t take anything personally

When we are emotional and feeling hurt, we can easily become irrational and say things we don’t mean. Don’t be surprised if your partner acts like a small child and says unreasonable or mean things to you. They don’t mean it. They are simply hurt and need attention from you. Don’t take anything personally. Become the observer so you don’t get attached to what’s being said and react defensively.

8. Love Them

Love them regardless of the situation. They are human and have feelings. Remember you can love people without needing to be in a romantic relationship with them. Be there for them in that state of love and compassion, regardless of how they react. This will help you find your center, while remaining calm to best help the other person deal with the situation.

9. Fully Express Emotions

 If you feel like crying, do it, and do it fully. This will release the emotional clutter in your inner space.

10. Multiple Meetings

it really takes several days before news can sink in. Don’t expect to meet once and be done with it. It is your responsibility to be there for that person, at least initially during a breakup situation.

11. Be Available

Do whatever is necessary to help them heal without compromising your values. Be available for them when they need you.

12. Space

Give them space. They will be hurt no matter what, so even if they appear fine on the outside, they are hurting. What they need now is time. Check up on them a few times in the beginning to make sure they are okay and to let them know that they matter. Remind them that you are here if they need your help to heal.

13. Relinquish Guilt

You may experience guilt, since you are the one initiating the breakup. You see that you’ve caused pain and this may affect your state of being. The following are some ideas that help to let go of this feeling:

    Meditation
    Deep Breathing
    Alone Time
    Exercise to Release Energy
