Sung by the silky-haired wonder Austin Mahone, this song soundtracked countless angsty moments, complete with crumpled notebook poetry and dramatic stares out the window. But let's be real, the lyrics were a touch dramatic ("Used to be inseparable, now you're just a stranger"). We get it, dude, heartbreak hurts, but did she steal your puppy too?
