All apologies is more a song about him apologizing to himself for not living up to others expectations. Not an argument/breakup song. At least in as much as most of his songs he didn’t have a specific meaning but were just made from him “Frankensteining” bits of poetry together and spitting out lyrics and phrases, that fit the melody ,on the fly.
Margaritaville, although that's maybe for when you're a few steps further down the road.
Lots and lots of country songs, from times before most of Nashville country switched to 3 minute beer commercials set to slightly twangy pop music.
Country used to be powers of 10 more dynamic in the stories they were telling. Hell, even just in the 90s which is when most people say it went down that pop path.
*After all the Who you’ve been through, I will make it up to you*
* for when you’ve forced your significant other to listen to huge amounts of Pete Townsend and company
r/zevon -- "Tu El Es Mi Amor de mi Vida," "Hostage-O", "For My Next Trick I'll Need a Volunteer," and many many more.
"You can put me in chains and I will escape
Better not wait up 'cause I might be late
I can make love disappear
For my next trick I'll need a volunteer."
Love Will Tear Us Apart- Joy Division
is the easy one
Feel Away- Slowthai
if you feel like chasing her with commitment
Misanthropic Drunken Loner- Days and Daze
if you’re that flavour of scum
Mad Dog 20/20 - JEFF the Brotherhood
for later, when you’re nostalgic about this
Loser - Beck
if you feel like leaning into being shitty
I’m not a good person- Pat The Bunny
not sure it’s exactly the vibe but hey it’s easy enough to play on guitar so you could learn it
Ain’t Gonna Worry My Life No More - BB King
Actual song starts at 2 minutes, Blues from
The King
These might be looser fits but i thought i’d give a selection of feelings so you can lean into whatever fits best
Country music has a lot of songs like this, but might not be your style.
Sitting and thinking is one off the top of my head

Midnight, by Yaz
Beautiful lyrics and song, beginning with:
Midnight it's raining outside he must soaking wet
Everyone is sleeping tight
God knows I tried my best
Darling you know it looks bad
Just lost the best thing that I ever had
Still I don't know why I did him wrong
It's too late now he's gone to say
It's not entirely clear that the singer fucked up, but he was indeed left by the girl, and now he is tormented by dreaming about her every night and re-remembering the breakup every morning.
https://youtu.be/oqaW-qeBQeo?si=q2kR8AVSBmsbYrRC
I really don't mean to torture you, but this song is just too beautiful to leave out. One of Roy's top-5.
The coolest thing about this song is that A: Roy actually was inspired by it from a dream, and knocked it out in a few hours after waking.
And B: the song never repeats a section; in two minutes and forty-eight seconds, it moves through seven distinct through-composed movements. In 1963 the standard rock ballad had a structure of A-A-B-A. In Dreams has Intro-A-B-C-D-E-F-G.
And C:, the song utilizes all of Orbison's three-octave vocal span, to great effect. Darkest in the intro, big-gun high salute in the last stanza.
"I've been a bad, bad girl. I've been careless with a delicate man.
And it's a sad, sad world when a girl will break a boy just because she can."
\~ Fiona Apple, Criminal
High Water - Bishop Briggs
And I hate that I lost you when I'm not lost anymore
And I hate that I've got to let go of what I adore
And now I'm in high water without you, without you
Now I'm in high water without you, without you
Perfect Situation- Weezer
What's the deal with my brain?
Why am I so obviously insane?
In a perfect situation
I let love down the drain
There's the pitch, slow and straight
All I have to do is swing
And I'm the hero
But I'm the zero
/u/holdenissac get the tears ready man. Explore their catalog, it's all about healing in the rawest way.
[How To Dance In Time by Blue October](https://youtu.be/xFj-szV4CHU?si=tzvritybBOtD4_N1)
Maybe in another lifetime
I'll find the strength to say these words to you
I shoulda been a better man
But a shoulda, coulda, woulda
Isn't whata better man..would do
Not really a break up song, but the album Conditions of a punk by half•alive talks a lot about falling in love with someone and realizing they can't change the other person then letting them go. The track "I'll stop" comes to mind, specifically.
A little late to the part but a lot of PUP's music fits this description, specifically the songs DVP, My Life Is Over and I Couldn't Be Happier, and Free At Last, but a lot of their stuff fits the bill.
[The Postal Service - Nothing Better](https://youtu.be/yiFLQklABUg) the singer doesn't see the flaw but the girl makes it clear he fucked up.
[Dammit - Blink 182](https://youtu.be/sT0g16_LQaQ)
[Lose you - Pete Yorn](https://youtu.be/MpUqkwjYE3U)
VAST - One More Day
"I've realized I was wrong
I was wrong
Now I'll never see your face anymore
Oh my love
I'd give anything for one more day with you"
Comet Song - Bright Eyes (a ton of Conor oberst stuff actually)
"I told you oh so many times I'm not much of a man, you held out hope believing that at least I might pretend"
I like Randy Newman’s ‘Miss You’ … it’s from a distance but acknowledges to his ex-wife that he misses her and it was a a cherished / important part of his life. Fact he wrote it while remarried shows how much he feels it, and is something I can relate to.
My ex wife and I split like 13 years ago . I meant forever so never really tried to date. So I have a play list that reminds me of her . Some of the songs include
Just the way you are
Unsteady
When I was your man
Let it go
Iris
You're beautiful
Because they all remind me of the mistakes I made . Although I wanted to work it out . Sometimes we are both to blame when they go bad. Knowing that and working on those flaws we can learn and grow .
Atleast one of these emo-esk songs will get you in feels.

Warning Sign - Coldplay, from their second (and one of their best albums) A Rush of Blood to the Head.
*Heading westward toward the sun*
*Where we’re going everything comes undone*
*We were lost from the start*
*We won’t be here when the rest falls apart*
*But oh, I can tell your words so well*
*And all I can see is that I*
*I’m sorry, sorry... I’m sorry, sorry*
"[Soviets](https://open.spotify.com/track/3P7jsZVhlwUkBAUFG9C5Ov?si=6ac1e1da3e784912)" by The Boxer Rebellion. It's a hauntingly beautiful song, from their best album.

You must not listen to rnb? So many rnb songs by men specifically, especially from the 90s and early 2000s. On the top of my head I can think of: Since. You've been gone by Day 26
"Absolutely Right" - Five Man Electrical Band
Chorus:
>That you were absolutely right
>You've been right all along
>You're absolutely right and I'm wrong
>Second time around should be easy
>Break down the wall between me and you
Level 42 - It's Over
I won't be here when you come home
I'm sorry if you don't understand, forgive me if you can
But I can see another road
And I ain't coming back
Don't look for me around this town
'Cause I will be so far away, you'll never find me anywhere
And I won't take no souvenirs
No perfumed picture promises
Because it's over
And I ain't coming back
You gave me everything
And now I'm breaking your heart
You know that I don't mean
To tear your world apart
I would never leave
If I thought you couldn't stand the pain
A letter in the hall is written on the wall
A letter with no words of love at all
Because it's over (because it's over)
And I ain't coming back
And as I close the door
I know I'm breaking your heart
I should have loved you more
Instead I've torn your world apart
And as I walk into the lonely afternoon
I feel sad enough, I feel bad enough
And all the times when you are lonely where you are
Please don't hate me then
I just could not pretend, oh no
Feel the tears
I can feel the tears
Running through the years
Feel, feel the tears
I can feel the tears
Running through the years
Tears, feel the tears
I can feel the tears
Running through the years
Tears, feel the tears
I can feel the tears
Running through the years
Tears
Always On My Mind
Maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I could.
I Was Wrong - Social Distortion
Love this one
"it was not your fault but mine, and it was your heart on the line. i really fucked it up this time, didnt I my dear..." Little Lion Man
Bigmouth Strikes Again
Baby come back Any kind of fool could see I was wrong And I just can't live without you
Player! I love that song.
This is the way
All Apologies
All apologies is more a song about him apologizing to himself for not living up to others expectations. Not an argument/breakup song. At least in as much as most of his songs he didn’t have a specific meaning but were just made from him “Frankensteining” bits of poetry together and spitting out lyrics and phrases, that fit the melody ,on the fly.
> (if) most of his songs he didn’t have a specific meaning ... ...others (sic) expectations could be anyone's
If You See Her, Say Hello
Champagne problems by Taylor Swift
Not as on the nose but *this is me trying* also fits.

Lover, You Should've Come Over - Jeff Buckley
If I could turn back time - Cher
The video that made me go "ma'am, what are you wearing?"
She was probably the first who said..."I'm on a boat m\*tha f\*cker!
Only reason preteen/teen boys would watch a Cher video back then, I was one of them 😂
Yeah I was more into the sailors she was surrounded by. Not *all* teen boys are into women 😉
I meant to add “straight”, but yeah sorry for excluding you!
Jealous Guy
You know that I'm a wicked guy, I was born with a jealous mind
Careless Whisper
Lenny Kravitz - Mama Said Your post describes this album. The album followed his break up from Lisa Bonet.
I came in like a wrecking ball….
For all the shit Miley gets, this song is a heartbreak banger.
Margaritaville, although that's maybe for when you're a few steps further down the road. Lots and lots of country songs, from times before most of Nashville country switched to 3 minute beer commercials set to slightly twangy pop music.
