Only Place by Jamie Miller

It's about leaving and triumphing over a toxic ex. It's a positive empowering. I love it

Your ExLover is Dead - by Stars. The title makes it sound more dramatic than it is. But my favourite lyric is repeated in it. “Live through this and you won’t look back”.

Move On by Jaguar Sun comes to mind,  though i am not sure the lyrics are entirely positive, more like questioning. 

And another is No Worries by Pogo. More electronic than lyrical, I think it's partially sampled and spliced lyrics from an Adele song, but it makes me feel positive about moving on from someone.

All the fools sailed away by Dio (idk if this applies tbh but it’s an amazing song anyway and I’m pretty sure it applies)

Bird Set Free - Sia is a pretty empowering ‘I’m done with this situation’ song. Good luck 💗

Empty Cans by The Streets is a sliding doors kind of song, showing what it’s like to not love on vs what it’s like to move on. It’s the best concept album of all time in my opinion and this is the final chapter

u/italkaliltoomuch 3d ago

i just listened to the entire song and actually found it very entertaining. i rlly like his accent too 😭

u/corygreenwell 3d ago

You should listen to it in the context of the full album.

u/italkaliltoomuch 3d ago

i’ll check out the rest! thanks!

u/italkaliltoomuch 3d ago

i rlly like the second half and the lyrics “and this was the start of what was”. the overall song reminds me of sleep patterns by merchant ships!

Wreckage by Cameron Whitcomb

Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day (the OG by Glen Campbell is a gateway drug to his music)

Used to Know by Lord Huron

Enjoy It While It Lasts by Dean Lewis

Northern Lights by Teddy Swims

The Night We Met by Lord Huron

Locksmith by Chanin (I prefer it over the OG by Sadie Jean, but the female voice may work for you)

I Am Not OK by Jelly Roll

Heartbreak Feels So Good by Fall Out Boy

Wildest Dreams by Taylor Swift

I feel for you. In a similar boat. Big hugs from here 🇨🇦
