4. “Some Broken Hearts Never Mend”
This classic is as real as it gets. It doesn’t sugarcoat pain—it simply tells the truth: some pain stays with us. But just knowing that someone else understands makes it a little easier.
“Coffee black, cigarettes / Start this day like all the rest…”
5. “Lay Down Beside Me”
This is a song of intimacy and vulnerability. It reminds us that even after heartbreak, the desire for closeness and peace remains. It’s not about romance—it’s about rest.
6. “Till the Rivers All Run Dry”
A vow of unending love, even when things fall apart. It gives voice to those feelings that linger long after goodbye—and wraps them in gentle acceptance.

8. “If Hollywood Don’t Need You”
This song speaks to the emptiness that comes with someone leaving—and the secret hope that they’ll remember you. It’s quietly devastating, but also affirming.
“If you see Burt Reynolds, would you shake his hand for me…”

A soft and sorrowful tune about what could’ve been. It paints a picture of a love that wasn’t lived out—but that still matters. For anyone who’s lost a love before it began, this song will speak to you.
10. “Good Ole Boys Like Me”
This isn’t a love song—but it’s a song of reflection, identity, and the people who shape us. Sometimes the road to healing isn’t through romance—but through remembering where you came from and rediscovering who you are.
