Songs about moving on but being stuck.
 

Hey guys,
Sorry if this is confusing to understand however here we go.
Can anyone list any song(s) where the meaning is about moving on, finding a new partner but still thinking about their old one?
Doesn't worry me about the genre, i generally like most.

And this one is more about the awkwardness of seeing an old partner, rehashing old memories, and accepting moving on, but whatever.

I kind of dug this one a few months after I broke up with my ex:

Maybe you could try this out for size, tricky request though so forgive if I am miles off.

Maybe this?

"Like a Drug" by They Eat Their Own came immediately to mind when I read the OP. I used to absolutely love this song back in the day.

Bryan Adams - "Run to you"

Dylan has a quite a few songs with that theme. The ones that immediately spring to mind are If You See Her Say Hello, Sara and this one :-

I had two great ones but I didn't write them down and it slipped my mind.

so you'll just have to use this one.

Negative vs Positive.

There's a song by Hinder or someone like that that was on the radio a couple years ago that was about him being with a new girlfriend but still talking to his ex or something like that. ****ty song but it seems to fit the topic, I'm sure someone here knows what I'm talking about.

grrr I hated that stupid song, I'm like wtf why do chicks love this song, he's talking about cheating or thinking about it.



Hmm his ex in the video is E's girl from Entourage. I think he's better off going back to his ex.



This song may fit your situation as well.

Oh yeah, here's a weird one coming from me... Adam Carroll's Rice Birds, he's a Texas singer-songwriter and I don't usually like country or that steel lap guitar or people with similar voices but he's got a super mellow, nostalgic tone on this song and the song will really carry you away. Should be nearly exactly what you're looking for.

As far songs about moving on but being stuck goes, this progressive-emo-punk-soul-blues gem should be right up your alley.
