Doesn’t have to be romantic love, but I assume most songs will be. However songs about parents/children, or friendships, or nephews/aunts, or whatever are perfectly acceptable.
Basically songs where a person loses their love and interest in someone else.
Red Ragtop by Tim McGraw. Thats all I got right now.

Benadryl is a break up song. It’s about loving yourself enough to let something go that isn’t working. The video, directed by the crazy and wonderful Phillip Lopez, is an interpretation of two worlds: the one we are trapped in and the colorful one we are trying to free ourselves into. Ultimately, the gateway to freedom is the support of other women. There’s also something really underwater-y about the song: kind of like being on Benadryl, it’s soupy and languid and we wanted to capture that feeling.[/QUOTE]
Silver Lining by Rilo Kiley. Includes the awesome line “I never felt so wicked, as when I willed our love to die”. Really you have to hear Jenny Lewis sing it for the full effect.
Not really on topic, but the whole album it’s from, Under the Blacklight, is fantastic
How about “Puff the Magic Dragon”? Whether it’s an homage to drugs, or an allegory about lost childhood, or whatever - If you take it literally, Puff is sad at the end because Jackie Paper doesn’t come around anymore.
