Yep, you probably recognize this and know that we are on the next step in our “Getting Over Heartbreak Series”. So here we go with:
18) Up and Up (Acoustic) by Reliant K
So I love this song coming next as I feel it really expresses the transition from deciding to move on and ignore the past to completely moving forward.
After all realizing the past is in the past and that you have to leave it their instead of having it control your future is one of the most difficult things to do.
Yesterday was not quite what it could’ve been
As were most of all the days before
But I swear today, with every breath I’m breathing in
I’ll be trying to make it so much more
‘Cause it seems I get so hung up on the history of what’s gone wrong
And the hope of a new day is sometimes hard to see
But I’m finally catching on to it, yeah, the past is just a conduit
And the light, there at the end is where I’ll be
‘Cause I’m on the up and up, I’m on the up and up
And I haven’t given up, given up on what I know I’m capable of
Yeah, I’m on the up and up and yeah, there’s nothing left to prove
‘Cause I’m just trying to be a better version of me for you
A better version of me for you
To be prosperous would not require much of me
You see, contentment is the one thing it entails
To be content with where I am and getting where I need to be
And moving past the past where I have failed
But I’m finally catching on to it and yeah, the past is just a conduit

To start the “Getting Over a Heartbreak Series” from the beginning, go to If It Means A Lot to You
So here is another installment in the series of “Songs to Help You Get Over Heartbreak”. So we have moved past the crying and weeping, past regretfulness and love stinks, and now are at realization that it is a part of life. It happened once, and will again.
With this realization, it doesn’t always mean that you are over it (everyone moves on at their own speed) but that you are closer to being completely over it. This next song is:
9) Chin Up Kid by Forever the Sickest Kids
So this is another band I got into after listening to the Vans Warped Tour 2013 CD. Now I listened to this song over and over and over and over and over again, when I was dealing with my breakup. I really like it because of the lyrics, how true they are; along with having being a really upbeat song that makes you feel good. Plus their music video is amazing!!! You are going to love it!!!
The band wrote the song for those specific reasons.
“It’s a feeling that anyone who’s been through heartbreak will recognize. ‘Chin Up Kid’ can be a very relatable song to most. We wrote this song about keeping your head up through heartbreak and trying times. Young love can come and go before you realize you even had it. We hope this song motivates the listener to find inner strength to keep moving on and pressing forward.”
So here are the amazing lyrics.
Everybody hurts every once in a while
And everybody loses sleep with a broken heart
Good things come and go but kid you’ll learn how to cope
When something feels right, be ready to let it go
I remember hurting her and her hurting me I remember losing sleep, she was haunting my dreams It’s alright, chin up kid, it’ll all be fine There’s not a wound in this world that won’t heal with time
You’re just a boy
She’s just a girl
You’ll break her heart
She’ll wreck your world
But life goes on, the ending’s the starting line
Chin up, press on, you will survive
Young love that lasts is hard to find
So chin up, press on, you will survive
Gotta learn to be OK with being alone
You gotta learn to love yourself before you love someone else
It’s hard to be patient
While she’s keeping you waiting
I remember loving her, her not loving me And I remember losing sleep, she was haunting my dreams And it’s alright, chin up kid, it’ll all be fine There’s not a wound in this world that won’t heal with time
You’re just a boy
She’s just a girl
You’ll break her heart
She’ll wreck your world
But life goes on, the ending’s the starting line
Chin up, press on, you will survive
Young love that lasts is hard to find
So chin up, press on, you will survive
And everything will be alright And everything will be just fine And everything will be alright Yeah!
You’re just a boy She’s just a girl You’ll break her heart She’ll wreck your world But life goes on, the ending’s the starting line Chin up, press on, you will survive Young love that lasts is hard to find So chin up, press on, you will survive
Life goes on, the ending’s the starting line Chin up, press on, you will survive Young love that lasts is hard to find So chin up, press on, you will survive
You will survive!
No matter how painful something is you will survive and get over it. It just takes time.
