Music is extremely important for a lot of us, it connects us, humans, as one. Everyone has a different perspective of things including how a song is represented, what I mean by broken is as in relationships, low-self esteem, opportunities not taken, diverse problems, unloyalty, infidelity, someone that had passed away, and many more. Every song is represented by you the way you want it to.

Here are my top 20 sad songs and some break-up ones that I can relate to and I hope you can too.

1. Better Man by Little Big Town

If you may have been through a toxic relationship or a partner that didn't treated you like you deserved, then this song is about that person. This song was written by Taylor Swift and it is absolutely amazing.
