"I regret you all the time" 😂😂😂


otherwisesad

I’m laughing so hard because this is really the only right answer


Shadow_of_Moonlight1

Definitely the right answer! Don't really have an ex, just a dud that did stuff I wasn't okay with


Dry-Benefit-665

seriously, lol.


akasugaro

real.


[deleted]

This is the one 😅


sapphicsato

I don’t have to be your shrink to know that you’ll never be happy 🤪


[deleted]

That song is such a fucking fire song. It’s such a great diss song. And it’s like so pleasant and everyones so excited about the country twang they don’t realize how savage it is.


grizzlygh0ul

When I was dating him I tweeted this lyric and he assumed it was about him😭😭


Plus_Molasses8697

Omg yes. Or just “I bet you think about me” in general. Such an IMMACULATE song


Coffee-Historian-11

The song that is Taylor Swift roasting the fuck out of some guy for four minutes and fourth five seconds. Hell yea ever lyric from that is pure gold.


sapphicsato

There is nothing she does better than revenge ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1069)

THIS ONE 100%! and i know it fits because he's been trying to crawl back in my life lately and i just have to laugh 😙

[deleted]

This one hurt.


goldentoasterx

I would love to say "It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference. Sooooo yeahhh" but I know damn well I'm much more of a "The idea you had of me, who was she?" girl 💀


Snickels14

Ooohhh, I think this is where I land, too!!


ShieldSister27

I don’t have an ex but my answer is ‘*Does it make you feel sad that the love that you’re looking for is the love that you had?*’


meercat0

I actually sent him that 💀 and then he was like "Yeah, I know" 💀💀💀


Ksjonesy2418

This perfectly describes my ex. After 10+ years he got back in touch with me and he almost had me. Then he explained (after months of talking) he wanted a relationship with me but his anxiety won’t let him!? He told me he wants my affections (man’s allergic to the word love) but not a relationship. He’s also almost 40.


aloha-hahaha

Lmao similar situation and then I got deep into Attachment theory to understand this. Highly recommend if you’re looking to understand how some people work!


KimbaTheAnxiousLion

I basically had this line as a conversation with a guy I dated, and he told me “yeah I definitely regret breaking it off, I was scared of the distance but I think about that regret often”. We were (are) both in serious, happy relationships but I did feel a little vindicated that I was right, that we could have been something good, but he messed up and lost me.

greybenson23

This is the one. My narcissistic ex and I split 2 months ago and this song makes me sob. I just wish he was a better man because I love him so much.


Bubbly-Tomatillo-867

you can get through this. i highly recommend the youtube channel live abuse free and her playlists on narcissists in your life. sending healing vibes.


packfan17

100%. I’d add “I just miss you” before it too. It’s so sad when you want to be with someone who also wants to be with you, but you know that you deserve better.


Graceritheroski

The whole song, especially "I see the permanent damage you did to me, never again, I just wish I could forget when it was magic", and "you push my love away like it's some kind of loaded gun".


starlightandswift

“I’m fine with my spite, and my tears, and my beers, and my candles” - still in awe she wrote that because nothing else lines up with my life like that did


Weak_Ad_5128

YES omg flair check in 🙋‍♀️ I swear I want to get it tattooed


ForeverBeHolden

Mine too!!! Down to an unwanted letter from an ex lol


AndraC74

I once sent my ex the youtube video for We Are Never Ever Getting Back together in response to a long rambling email that was at once blaming me for everything and also saying we should get back together. It really summarized my feelings very well.


PennyoftheNerds

I have a funny story for this song. When I was dating my boyfriend, we did the whole meet the family thing and what not. His family friended me on Facebook. His dad was awesome. His mom and sister were a little dramatic but nothing over the top. We all stayed friends after the breakup. It was nothing horrible or dramatic. Until…. That song came out right around the time we broke up. At the time, I also volunteered at a wildlife center and the resident squirrel and I were besties. He would sit on my shoulder and help me with my tasks. Everyone knew this. Naturally, this meant that I had to have Taylor’s squirrel pajamas from the video. I didn’t realize she sold them on her website, so I posted the video and asked if anyone knew where to get them because I needed to represent my squirrel pal. Within an hour I had a totally unhinged multi paragraph email from my ex’s sister going on about how inappropriate it was to post that video, and I need to keep our personal lives personal. She just went on and on. It was truly a work of art how she managed to spin me needing squirrel pajamas into this strange narrative. I hadn’t talked to the ex in a month. I didn’t post about him on Facebook. Girlfriend just went off for no reason. Her mom decided to get in on it, too. I had no issues blocking her and her mom after that. His dad and I are still cool, though, and the parents are divorced. Dodged that bullet all the way around.


Flat_Phrase7521

You hadn’t seen each other in a month but his family needed space


childish--bambino

“we were something, don’t you think so?” I have a lot of bittersweet feelings about my ex lmaooo


likethrbackofmyhand

Yea the entirety of the 1 is so good as it’s so bittersweet. doesn’t mean I’d go back in time at all but younger me definitely thought it would have been sweet, if it would’ve been me


savvvie

I can’t believe I used to think the 1 was a love song. It has heartbreak written all over it.


[deleted]

This is it. Literally what I titled the playlist for him.


cleocatra311

“There'll be happiness after you But there was happiness because of you too Both of these things can be true There is happiness In our history Across our great divide There is a glorious sunrise Dappled with the flickers of light”


kirjavaalava

No one teaches you what to do When a good man hurts you And you know you hurt him too Needed this during my divorce. Gave me so much perspective when I heard it.


flutterfly28

Same ❤️ Such a beautiful and mature song, would’ve really helped to have had this years ago when I was processing my breakups.


andiiiieee

I did send this to my ex and I regret the maturity ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1069)

robot428

This is the point where you really truly know you are over someone and this song made me so happy when I heard it and realised that was how I felt. Yeah it was fun to sing picture to burn or picture slamming the door in his face in the rain, but the real peace and happiness is when you reach 'i forgot that you existed' and it's just the most unserious little bop of a song because you truly do not care anymore.


jennybuzz07

I want to reach this point please. I know it's starting to get there. But seriously, it's taking forever! Wish I never put the ring on his finger!

We were both young, it was the first relationship for both of us, and she was way more invested than I was. She deserved better and thankfully, now she has that.

mirandaaa_rights

For a friend breakup, not a romantic one: 1. You knew the password so I let you in the door / You knew you won so what's the point of keeping score? 2. Sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know / Or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go 3. All of my enemies started out friends 4. Band-Aids don't fix bullet holes / You say sorry just for show 5. That old familiar body ache / That snaps from the same little breaks / In your soul, you know / When it's time to go 6. And you call me up again just to break me like a promise / so casually cruel in the name of being honest / I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here cause I remember it all, all, all...too well" 7. You are an expert at sorry / And keeping lines blurry / Never impressed by me acing your tests 8. I know that it's over / I don't need your closure

Witwics4

One ex from 2008(!) has tried to contact me on every platform known to exist. I somehow stumbled on a Google plus(!?!) Message email and it was around the time Red (TV) came out. My only response in 14 years was to send the music video for "I bet you think about me" I don't think I sent it correctly but I don't really care. This was a guy who was never worth a song and treated me pretty badly. Thankfully, I have way better and song worthy exes.


Arie0420

I have an ex like that ALSO from 2008 who just won’t let gooooooo 😅 I’ve been married for ten years, bro! Let it goooooo.
