I've been pondering this subject a lot lately. What musical theater songs of this emotion do we have, besides Passion of course, either male or female. Essentially, how to get thorough a nasty breakup.
- "I'm Not That Girl" from Wicked. - "Fools Fall in Love" from All Shook Up. - "Gonna Build A Wall" from Shrek. - "When Words Fail" from Shrek. - "Notice Me, Horton" from Seussical. - "Fly, Fly, Away" from Catch Me If You Can. - "The History of Wrong Guys" from Kinky Boots.
"Anybody that goes to the theater, I think we’re all misfits, so we ended up on stage or in the audience.” --- Patti LuPone.
I Resolve - She Loves Me Hey, Look No Crying (not from a musical but Styne/Birkenhead) Where Do I Go From Here? - Fiorello (cut) Sing Happy - Flora, the Red Menace I Don't Remember You - The Happy Time Why Can't I Walk Away? - Goldilocks Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry - Glad To See You It's All Right With Me - Can Can Learn to be Lonely - A Doll's Life Down With Love - Hooray for What!
I immediately thought of "On My Own," which someone mentioned, and "On the Street where you Live," although Freddy Eynsford-Hill may be too goofy to realize his love for Eliza Doolittle is unrequited.
The Glenbuck Laird posted "You'll Never Walk Alone." I don't get that one. Could you elaborate?
