It’s bound to happen at the most unexpected moments: during a casual Saturday grocery run, while unwinding on a Friday evening with a drink, or perhaps, if you’re like me, while browsing through a thrift store on a random Tuesday. One moment, you’re grooving to the Pet Shop Boys in the cereal aisle, reminiscing about wild nights with your friend Mia, sipping Seagram’s 7, dancing until you were dizzy, and sharing kisses with a guy who could’ve been a doppelgänger for the charming lead from A-ha, all while “West End Girls” played on repeat. You can’t help but smile, recalling how he didn’t seem to mind at all.
Then, the next track hits, and suddenly nostalgia sweeps over you like a wave. It could be the song that played during your high school prom, where you donned that glorious purple satin gown with the massive hoop skirt, or perhaps it’s that track that filled the air during an unforgettable first night with your crush while your parents were away. Or it might even be the anthem you played on loop, rewinding the cassette or carefully lifting the needle to relive heartbreak on that familiar orange shag carpet.
But it’s not always about romance. Sometimes, it’s about the friend you vowed to stick by no matter what—the one you belted out tunes with during late-night drives, chain-smoking and feeling like you had the world at your fingertips, even though you haven’t crossed paths in decades. Whatever the trigger, tears threaten to spill as you sift through jeans at the thrift store, hoping no one notices when that one heart-wrenching line strikes a chord deep within you. You know the one: the Ugly Cry Lyric.
Join me in this emotional sing-along:
-
“Love Song,” The Cure
This heartfelt ballad resonated with those who fell for the brooding boys, their floppy black hair veiling their eyes. That line whispered softly at prom still echoes in our hearts.
Ugly Cry Lyric: However far away / I will always love you / However long I stay / I will always love you. -
“I Melt With You,” Modern English
What is it about this classic? Sure, Nicholas Cage and Deborah Foreman had their moment, but who didn’t yearn to be the one he melted with? Spoiler alert: it’s about a couple making love while a nuclear bomb drops—quite literally melting together.
Ugly Cry Lyric: I’ll stop the world and melt with you. -
“In Your Eyes,” Peter Gabriel
This iconic song is so tied to the movie “Say Anything,” but it also evokes memories of cuddling with someone special, making every listen a reminder of love lost.
Ugly Cry Lyric: ALL OF THEM, but especially: Love, I don’t like to see so much pain / so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away. -
“Hold On to the Nights,” Richard Marx
Admit it, you know this one. Even if you were always faithful, there was that fleeting moment of longing. The guy with the floppy hair? He had you wrapped around his finger.
Ugly Cry Lyric: Well I think that I’ve been true to everybody else but me. -
“The Flame,” Cheap Trick
The ultimate ’80s torch song that provided solace during those late-night drives, anxiously waiting for that guy to return home, while you cried and dialed your best friend.
Ugly Cry Lyric: I’m going crazy, I’m losing sleep / I can’t believe you’re gone. -
“Time After Time,” Cyndi Lauper
Cyndi Lauper, with her fearless spirit, offers a poignant reminder of those you’ve left behind.
Ugly Cry Lyric: If you’re lost, you can look and you will find me / Time after time.
So go on, grab a tissue; no one’s watching.
