I am looking for songs where people sing about previous relationships affecting them moving forward/in new relationships. I'm thinking of songs like TLC's "Damaged," Kelly Clarkson's "Because of You" or even Adam Levine's "Lost Stars" (he's cautious about the relationship). Any other suggestions?

"I think ['Vision Of Love'] was a vision of the future world of American Idol." - Rich Juzwiak, Slant

Thanks! Not sure why, but for some reason that made me think of Joni Mitchelle's "River" with lines like these:

He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I just discovered "X&Y" by Coldplay:

I dive in at the deep end
She's become my best friend
I wanna love you
But I don't know if I can
I know something is broken
And I'm trying to fix it
Trying to repair it
Anyway I can
