People Are Sharing The Songs That Never Fail To "Break Their Heart," And Shockingly, Only One Is By Adele

    Kermit the Frog-induced sobbing was absolutely not on my 2021 bucket list, but here we are.

    Sad Girl Autumn is in full swing, thanks to new releases from Taylor Swift and Adele. So IDK about you, but I'm certainly ~in the mood~ to blast some moody music and cry.

    Lucky for me (and probably you, too), u/humanbean07 recently asked redditors to share the songs that "break their heart every time they hear them," and WHEW. Just...grab your tissues and keep 'em handy, OK?
