As I was preparing to write this article, I began to feel extremely overwhelmed. I had completely convinced myself that there was no way I could narrow the list down to only 21 lyrics. Seriously, I convinced myself so much so that I had to change the title to 23 song lyrics because I simply could not leave any of these out. Song lyrics are cool because they can touch so many different people and mean a million different things to every person who hears them. Whether you're going through a breakup, having the best day of your life or stressing out over a crazy situation, these lyrics are sure to make you feel something.
