We Pinoys are a romantic bunch, which is why we don’t take it easily when matters of the heart don’t work in our favor. It’s a good thing that we can always turn to music to help us through this heartbreak phase, and eventually reach a catharsis where we can smile, be at peace with ourselves and move on. So whether you’ve been friendzoned, gone through a breakup, or just changed your Facebook status to “It’s Complicated”, there is an anthem to reflect your love woes. Here are 7 ultimate hugot songs for the brokenhearted.
7 Ultimate Hugot Songs For The Brokenhearted
7. Pare Ko
Perfect for: The ultimate friendzone song, when all you thought all was going well between you and your almost lover, but lo and behold… kaibigan lang pala, hindi ka-ibigan.
Sapul lyrics:
“Pinaasa niya lang ako / L*tseng pag-ibig ‘to”. Ouch! It doesn’t get any more angsty than that.
6. Migraine
Perfect for: The Ross/Rachel of songs, it’s for that “are we/aren’t we” sentiment when your (not-so) significant other keeps sending you mixed signals about the real score between you. Tama na, please!
Sapul lyrics:
“Oo nga pala, hindi nga pala tayo”. It’s the first line as the guitar lick settles in that sends an arrow straight to the heart– an honest, straightforward reminder of what you aren’t.
5. Bakit Pa Ba
Perfect for: There are times when we hurt even the ones we love the most, and we fear that it may be too late to fix things.
Sapul lyrics: “Bakit pa ba nagawa / Na saktan ko ang isang tulad mo / Na labis nang nagmamahal”. You never know what you’ve lost until it’s gone, indeed.
4. Let Me Be The One
Perfect for: When your significant other feels differently about your relationship and has fallen out of love, but does not want to take responsibility for breaking up, even though it’s clearly what your relationship needs.
Sapul lyrics:
“We just have to say our love was true, but it’s now become a lie / So I’m telling you I love you one last time / And goodbye”. Jimmy Bondoc’s sensitive, heartbreaking vocals are enough to make you teary-eyed.
3. Sa Kanya
Perfect for: Having those moments when you pine for your former lover, even if the relationship has long ended, because in your heart, no one could ever measure up to him or her.
Sapul lyrics:
“Sa kanya pa rin babalik, sigaw ng damdamin / Sa kanya pa ‘rin sasaya, bulong ng puso ko”.
2. Someday
Perfect for: Those still in the anger-depression phase of the breakup, because no matter how impossible it may seem, you will get up and move on… someday.
Sapul lyrics:
“One day I’ll forget about you / You’ll see, I won’t even miss you / Someday”. Maybe it’ll be tomorrow, maybe in a few months, or maybe in a year, but someday, this will all be but a memory of the past.
1. Before I Let You Go
Perfect for: The quintessential Pinoy breakup song. Sometimes good things come to an end for us to learn from them. It’s that one last goodbye, before finally and graciously letting go. #feels
Sapul lyrics: “Because you’ve gone and left me standing all alone / And I know I’ve got to face tomorrow on my own”.
