I Only Like Myself When Im With You All I Want Is to Feel Again
Unfortunately, the people you fall in love with don't always fall in love with you.
And, even if they exercise have feelings for you lot, the timing could be wrong, the circumstances could be wrong, and there could exist more going against you than there is going for yous.
It can exist hard to let become and to move on fifty-fifty when you know that's the all-time thing you tin can do.
Music has gotten a lot of people through a lot of situations similar these.
Then, let's explore 35 songs virtually unrequited dearest we can all relate to.
"You Vest With Me" by Taylor Swift
Vocal year: 2008
We don't program who we autumn for.
Taylor Swift's "Yous Belong With Me" is a song about falling for a shut friend.
Knowing Swift, this song could be autobiographical.
The trouble, at to the lowest degree as she sees it, is that:
"…she wears brusque skirts/I wearable T-shirts/She's cheer helm/And I'one thousand on the bleachers/Dreaming about the day when you lot wake upward/And find that what y'all're looking for has been hither the whole time."
Friendship is a great starting point for a human relationship, only sadly these types of situations take a way of not working out.
"Everything You Want" by Vertical Horizon
Song twelvemonth: 1999
Unrequited honey can exit y'all feeling angry.
There's a part of y'all that wants to convince your crush of your goodness.
But many times, no amount of coaxing and persuading will make a difference:
"He's everything you want/He's everything you need/He'due south everything inside of yous/That you wish you could be/He says all the right things/At exactly the right time/But he means nothing to you/And y'all don't know why."
Sometimes, people don't fall for the people that are right for them and instead fall for the people that will end up hurting them and teach them lessons.
Below the shiny veneer of this upbeat pop song lurks a great deal of frustration.
"To Be With You" by Mr. Big
Vocal year: 1991
It's piece of cake to forget that this cheery sounding audio-visual ballad from the early 90s via hard rock supergroup Mr. Big is indeed a vocal well-nigh unrequited honey.
Information technology's not clear whether things turned out well for the protagonist in the song, either.
In many ways, it was Mr. Big'southward respond to Extreme's "More Words" only a year earlier.
At the time, information technology was important for hard rock/pilus metallic bands to bear witness their sensitive side, as information technology gave them access to a new fan base of operations.
Singer Eric Martin later explained that this vocal is a folio from his own book, noting there was a girl he roughshod for in high school.
She had a lot of guy problems, and Martin got an earful.
Martin concluded up liking her and wanted to be her knight in shining armor, just things never quite worked out that style.
"Love Stinks" by The J. Geils Ring
Vocal year: 1980
It doesn't get any funnier, direct or more absurd than this vocal:
"Yous dearest her/Only she loves him/And he loves somebody else/Y'all just can't win."
Who hasn't been through something like that?
When dearest has got you lot down, it'south better to put this song on and air your grievances.
"All To Myself" by Marianas Trench
Song twelvemonth: 2009
Hither's some other catchy pop punk number you may not have identified as a vocal almost unrequited honey.
Just information technology'south clear that the narrator is want for someone he doesn't take.
He's then in his own head that he'southward starting to hear things no one has even said:
"Did you say please merely follow me/I idea you lot wanted me/'Cause I want you all to myself/I can try and suck it upwardly/I merely can't suck information technology up/Brand me feel like someone else."
He'southward also downward on himself for his lack of self-confidence in going up to enquire for what he wants.
For me, the awkwardness of Jr. high and high school come to mind.
"Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" by The Constabulary
Song year: 1981
When it comes to "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic", people oft call back the catchy choruses and forget what the verse or essence of the song is.
When the narrator says, "every little thing she does is magic", he'due south from the outside looking in, wanting to brand a motility simply unable to do and so.
Like "Every Breath You lot Take", there'southward an element of creepiness to this song.
Still, we tin all chronicle to admiring someone special from afar.
"Jessie'due south Daughter" by Rick Springfield
Vocal year: 1981
A unproblematic song almost falling for your friend's daughter.
People are sometimes surprised by who people fall for.
But nosotros tend not to fall for those who aren't in our world.
We fall for those nosotros regularly interact with, and for better or for worse, that ends up being friends, coworkers, community members so on.
At one point or some other, every man has wanted "Jessie's Girl", unless of grade, he was with her.
"Layla" past Derek And The Dominoes
Vocal year: 1970
One of the virtually passionate songs ever written nearly unrequited beloved.
As the story goes, guitarist Eric Clapton ended upwards falling for Beatle George Harrison's wife Pattie Boyd, who was also a neighbor.
It seems scandalous by today's standards, simply Clapton says this kind of affair happened all the time in the 60s/70s.
So, Clapton ended up pursuing her.
Hither'due south his plea to Boyd in "Layla", one of classic rock's most important songs:
"Please don't say we'll never find a way/And tell me all my love's in vain."
In a rare turn of events, Clapton and Boyd concluded up together in real life – smashing for them.
It's a little sad for Harrison, though.
"I Tin can't Brand You Honey Me" by Bonnie Raitt
Song year: 1991
A center-wrenching vocal most the agonies of unrequited honey.
These lines are simply heartbreaking:
"'Cause I tin't make you love me if you lot don't/Yous can't make your heart feel something it won't/Here in the dark, in these final hours/I will lay down my heart and I'll experience the power/Only y'all won't, no you lot won't/'Crusade I can't make yous love me, if y'all don't."
Reportedly, the inspiration for this song came from a human who got drunkard and shot at his girlfriend's car.
When asked what he had learned, he said that he learned he couldn't make his girl love him.
So, while this vocal may not be autobiographical, it's notwithstanding powerful.
"Beat" by Mandy Moore
Song yr: 2001
Nosotros've all had crushes.
Unfortunately, at that place's a reason why they call it a "crush" – yous're crushed when it doesn't work out.
In this song, Mandy Moore sings nearly someone that anybody loves and reveals her own feelings for him:
"Ooh, I got a crush on y'all/I promise you lot feel the manner that I practise/I get a rush/When I'g with yous/Ooh, I've got a vanquish on you/A crush on you."
A simple, beautiful vocal nearly a vanquish.
"Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen
Song year: 2001
This might seem like an odd pick, but when you call up about it, at no indicate does the protagonist say:
"Nosotros're together at present and everything's corking."
She's fascinated past a guy she comes across and essentially calls it honey at first sight (typically a scarlet flag, as attraction is non indicative of a connection, matching interests or a suitable personality type).
Nonetheless, if you read the lyrics closely, you can see that he hasn't said anything about beingness into her yet:
"Yous took your time with the call/I took no fourth dimension with the autumn/Y'all gave me nothing at all/But nevertheless yous're in my mode."
Information technology's piece of cake to fall in love with the idea of love before anything has materialized.
"Teardrops On My Guitar" by Taylor Swift
Vocal year: 2006
Everybody knows Taylor Swift breakdown songs are a dime a dozen.
We could near say the same for her catalog of unrequited love songs (I'm being a trivial facetious here).
Music, of form, is often a healing agent, something this song hints at:
"He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar/The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star/He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I exercise."
If you go along dreaming virtually someone and can't go them out of your head, this song is for y'all.
"Shiver" by Coldplay
Song year: 2000
If your love has gone unanswered, then surely yous can chronicle to the sentiment expressed in Coldplay's "Shiver", a song nearly feeling invisible.
Takes these lines for instance:
"I'll always be waiting for you lot/So you know how much I need you/But you never even see me, exercise you."
People don't know how much nosotros care – especially if nosotros've never shared our feeling with them.
Of class, that'southward the scary role.
"Damn Good Friends" by Elle Varner
Song year: 2012
As I mentioned earlier, sometimes you can autumn for a friend.
As the friendship deepens, you brainstorm to fearfulness losing that friendship.
"What would happen if we got into a relationship? Would we eventually break up?"
Those thoughts tin can't help simply cantankerous your mind.
To me, that's what "Damn Good Friends" past Elle Varner is all about:
"I long for you/It kills me to pretend/I'chiliad non in love when I and so am/But you don't understand/That nosotros're such/Damn adept friends."
Fear can hold yous back.
"(Tin can't Live Without Your) Beloved And Affection" past Nelson
Song year: 1990
When you dear someone and they don't love you back, you might end up feeling rejected.
Just sometimes you simply don't want to give up on something good.
This song is well-nigh the latter.
If y'all've e'er felt like you couldn't live without someone's love and affection in your life, put on this vocal to ease your pain.
"Put Yous In A Song" by Keith Urban
Song yr: 2010
No hidden messages in this Keith Urban tune.
There'due south a girl he loves, and he imagines whisking her away in a automobile and writing a vocal almost her.
In that sense, "Put You In A Vocal" might exist a tad self-referential:
"Well here y'all come over again and you lot're lookin' and then fine/You lot don't find me but information technology's alright/I'm merely a guy who wishes that I could be your homo someday/Yeah a picture paints a k words it'southward true/But it's still not enough for how I feel about you/I wanna put yous in a tune, I gotta set you lot to a groove."
Who of u.s. can say we oasis't felt that way well-nigh someone special?
"Bad Organized religion" by Frank Ocean
Song year: 2012
A song where the term "unrequited honey" is right in the lyrics.
Information technology's articulate the narrator is in ache.
These lines specifically seem to refer to self-harm:
"To me, it's nothin' but a 1-homo cult/And cyanide in my styrofoam cup."
Unrequited beloved can drive you crazy and this song is in impact with those emotions.
"Tin't Fight This Feeling" by REO Speedwagon
Song twelvemonth: 1984
The first verse says information technology all:
"I can't fight this feeling any longer/And yet I'm still agape to let information technology flow/What started out equally friendship has grown stronger/I only wish I had the strength to let it show."
Every bit I've already noted, friendship tin can quickly evolve into feelings of honey, regardless of your original intent.
Nosotros're not sure how the story ends in this song but information technology certainly stands every bit a archetype ballad about unanswered love.
"Closer Than Yous Might Believe" past Alanis Morrisette
Song yr: 1995
A song nearly unrequited love by Alanis?
Hard to believe, but it's true.
And, she says information technology better than a lot of other songs do:
"And then if the love that you lot're chasing afterward/Is in the middle to be establish in the out of achieve/Well, if you intermission it all downward/Take a good look effectually, you lot'd see/That it'southward closer than you lot might believe."
Sometimes we simply wish the person we're in beloved with would stop to expect around.
To us, it can appear as though they're chasing problems – especially when we feel like we would be right for them.
Great tune.
"Ii Out Of Iii Ain't Bad" by Meat Loaf
Song year: 1978
While the outset poetry alludes to unrequited love, this is just as much a song nearly honey lost, as indicated by these lines:
"I call up how she left me on a stormy nighttime/She kissed me and got out of our bed/And though I pleaded and begged her non to walk out that door/She packed her bags and turned right away."
So, although the honey took shape, ultimately, it didn't last.
Just there are nevertheless plenty of smashing lyrics that will resonate with anybody experiencing the agony of one-sided dear, including these:
"There's simply one girl I'll always honey/And that was and so many years ago/And though I know I'll never go her out of my middle/She never loved me back."
"Why Don't Yous Beloved Me" by Beyoncé
Song year: 2010
No matter how good you are to someone, in that location are times when they don't recognize the sacrifices y'all make and the things you do for them.
As backwards equally information technology is, sometimes that's the problem – the fact that we shower them with besides much attention.
It certainly doesn't help your state of affairs though, considering it can leave you lot feeling resentful.
Beyoncé offers upwards these unproblematic questions many can chronicle to:
"Why don't you lot dear me?/Tell me, babe, why don't you love me/When I make me so damn easy to honey?/And why don't yous need me?/Tell me, babe, why don't y'all need me/When I make me so damn like shooting fish in a barrel to need?"
"Why Can't This Be Love" by Van Halen
Song year: 1986
When "Why Tin't This Be Love" was released as the offset single from Van Halen'due south 1986 album 5150, the fans must have been caught off baby-sit.
Non only did information technology characteristic the then new pb vocalizer Sammy Hagar, it as well put keyboard, rather than the guitar, at the centre of the rhythm section.
While the lyrical content is somewhat cryptic, the repeated line "why tin can't this exist love" has us thinking it's most unreturned love.
We don't know exactly what state of affairs the narrator is dealing with, but it has him saying:
"Information technology's got what it takes/And then tell me why tin't this be love?/Directly from the heart/Oh, tell me why tin can't this exist love?"
And then, while it's a fleck vague, there could be some unreciprocated feelings going on.
"Pitter-patter" past Radiohead
Vocal year: 1992
I would say this is as much a vocal about being a pitter-patter as it is a song about unrequited love.
How can you know it's unreciprocated if you don't even ask?
Of course, getting up the nerve to ask is the hardest part.
But if you've ever admired anyone from distant, surely this song volition resonate with you lot.
"You're Beautiful" by James Blunt
Song yr: 2005
There's a good chance y'all never thought of "Y'all're Cute" as a vocal about unrequited dearest before.
So, if y'all're reading this now, yous'll probably never look at it the aforementioned way once more, considering honestly, it's kind of creepy.
Accept a look at the first poetry if yous don't believe me:
"My life is vivid/My love is pure/I saw an angel/Of that I'm sure/She smiled at me on the subway/She was with another human being/But I don't lose no slumber on that/'Cause I've got a plan."
Of grade, that "plan" is never revealed in this song, and in the end, the protagonist admits "I will never be with you."
Editor's annotation: This is one of my favorite songs about unrequited honey.
"Just My Imagination" by The Temptations
Song year: 1971
A simple carol about imagining yourself with that special someone.
My favorite lines are these:
"To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true/Out of all the fellows in the world she belongs to me/Simply it was just my imagination/Runnin' away with me."
Enjoy the slow groove of "Just My Imagination."
"Hullo" by Lionel Richie
Song year: 1984
This unforgettable archetype certainly seems to fit the nib when it comes to unrequited honey.
Reportedly, in his younger years, Richie used to be besides shy to talk to the beautiful women that walked past him.
And then, the song was borne out of this simple phrase:
"Howdy, is it me you're looking for?"
Information technology took a while for Richie to finish the song, but in the cease it was worth it.
And, I'm sure Riche isn't the only person that's experienced like torture.
"Stacy'southward Mom" by Fountains Of Wayne
Song twelvemonth: 2003
This is quite possibly one of the best popular songs of the early 2000s.
Fountains of Wayne are brilliant in their power to write unforgettable melodic hooks and complex, intelligent lyrics.
Message wise, this, perhaps, is one of the more direct songs they've got.
The basic premise is that a young male child is in beloved with his friend'due south mom.
Beyond that, there's no evidence to back up unrequited love, simply yes, there's a adept hazard it won't work out also well for Stacy'south friend.
"You Sent Me Flying" by Amy Winehouse
Song twelvemonth: 2003
Unfortunately, sometimes your crush knows that you're crushing on them, and to add insult to injury, they string you forth and manipulate y'all.
It'southward 1 affair if your love goes unanswered – which tin exist painful enough.
Quite another if the other person uses that to their advantage.
This is the painful motion picture "You lot Sent Me Flight" past the late Amy Winehouse paints.
These lines are heartbreaking:
"And now I feel so small discovering you knew/How much more torture would you have put me through?/Y'all probably saw me laughing at all your jokes/Or how I did not listen when you stole all my smokes, yeah."
"Sitting, Waiting, Wishing" past Jack Johnson
Song year: 2004
Have y'all always felt like you'd practice anything for the person you've fallen for?
Accept you been built up only to exist allow down?
Then this vocal is your unrequited anthem.
"Keep building it upward/But then you're shooting me down/Just I'grand already downwards/Just wait a minute."
"If" by Janet Jackson
Vocal year: 1993
If you've e'er fantasized almost someone you couldn't have, so yous've captured the essence of Janet Jackson'southward "If."
You lot've idea well-nigh it and you know you could be proficient for that person, but it's just not happening.
It's what can be painful near one-sided love.
"Surrender" by Billy Talent
Song yr: 2007
There'due south no question Billy Talent has ushered forth their own brand of melodrama with their music, only when it'southward every bit expertly executed as it is in this vocal, how can you detect fault with it?
If you've experienced unanswered love, I'm sure you can relate to these lines:
"Even though I know what I'm looking for/She'south got a brick wall behind her door/I'd travel time and confess to her/Just I'g afraid she'd shoot the messenger."
"Excuse Me Mr." by No Dubiousness
Song year: 1996
Why do we fall for the unavailable?
I don't have the answers.
Only information technology could be because they've got something going for them.
There are enough of bully lines in this upbeat song, simply these are probably my favorite:
"For near love comes for free/They don't pay the high cost/Of mental custody I'll pay bond for a guarantee/Please make space for me in the fourth dimension yet to be."
Stellar.
"Leading Me On" by Harem Scarem
Song yr: 2005
This is by far my favorite vocal well-nigh heartbreak and unrequited love.
It's full of raw emotion, energy and even anger.
This is a dandy segment of lyrics to peruse:
"Talk is cheap/Flowing from the weak/You lot lie and deceive/But only when you lot speak."
Nobody likes to be led on and for amend or for worse, it can go on for a long fourth dimension.
If someone has been leading you lot on, this is your tune.
"Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus
Song twelvemonth: 2000
Probably non the outset song that comes to mind when you attempt to brainstorm songs about one-sided love.
If you know the song, then you probably know the lyrics already.
The theme of "teenage dirtbag" comes out so strongly that sometimes it'southward piece of cake to overlook the fallow themes of unreciprocated love:
"Merely she doesn't know who I am/And she doesn't requite a damn virtually me."
What sets this song apart, yet, is that things plow out well for the protagonist, because the girl he likes is a "teenage dirtbag" too.
"Beyond Repair" by Harem Scarem
Vocal year: 2008
Another expertly written song well-nigh unrequited love via the Toronto melodic rock band Harem Scarem.
Equally with "Leading Me On", it'southward full of raw emotion.
The chorus says it all:
"But your silence/Is maxim everything/You're made of stone/And sinking beyond repair."
Nobody likes to exist toyed with.
Nobody wants to lose their precious time to a relationship that's going nowhere.
You can hear and feel all these emotions in the interludes between the lyrics.
The Best Unrequited Love Songs, Final Thoughts
In my feel, there'due south nothing especially fun nigh unrequited beloved.
I have a song called "Your Eyes Give It Away" that'due south essentially nigh this very topic.
Whether there's someone y'all love or someone that loves you, it tin exist hard to find completion in the situation.
But that'southward the most important affair – that yous notice completion.
Yous can't necessarily help the other person empathize what's of import to them.
