Just listened to the Gaslighter album. She didn’t pull any punches. The song to her son "Young Man" started the water works for me, reminds me of the life long impact this will have on how my kids view their mother. So tragic and unnecessary.

Thank you all so much for the great responses. I’m going to listen to them all. ❤️

My songs are Christian based, no offense meant if this isn't your thing.

Grab some tissues and listen to "Tell Your Heart to Beat Again" by Danny Gokey.

"Love Me Like I Am" by King & Country.

"The Father's House" by Cory Asbury.

More upbeat is "Amen" by King and Country.

Hope this helps.

Although most of the replies are about infidelity here and that’s not what they asked for - I will show the lyrics to the reconciling song I mentioned and then one that speaks to the wayward spouse.

And for love's sake, each mistake
Ah, you forgave
And soon both of us learned to trust
Not run away, it was no time to play
We build it up and build it up and build it up
And now it's solid
Solid as a rock
That's what this love is
That's what we've got, oh
Solid, solid as a rock
And nothing's changed it
The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot

Oh, you didn't turn away
When the sky went gray
Somehow we managed
We had to stick together (oh, oh)

You didn't bat an eye
When I made you cry
We knew down the line
We would make it better (oh, oh)

And for love's sake, each mistake
Ah, you forgave
And soon both of us learned to trust
Not run away, it was no time to play
We build it up and build it up and build it up

And now it's solid
Solid as a rock
That's what this love is (oh, oh)
That's what we've got (oh)
Yes, it is
Solid, solid as a rock
And nothing's changed it
The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot

Oh, gone with the wind
Another friend
Got in between
Tried to separate us (oh, oh)
Oh, knock-knock on wood
You understood
Love was so new
We did what we had to (ooh, ooh)

And with that feeling
We were willing to take a chance
So against all odds, we made a start
We got serious, this wouldn't turn to dust
We build it up and build it up and build it up
And now it's solid
Solid as a rock
That's what this love is, oh
That's what we've got, oh
Solid (yes, it is)
Solid as a rock
And nothing's changed it
The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot , hot
Solid, solid as a rock (you know it, well, you know it, baby)

The Wayward song

The Troubles

Lyrics
Main Results

Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till someone else was in control

You think it's easier
To put your finger on the trouble
When the trouble is you

And you think it's easier
To know your own tricks
Well it's the hardest thing you'll ever do

I have a will for survival
So you can hurt me and then hurt me some more
I can live with denial
But you're not my troubles anymore

Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till somebody else was in control
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till someone else was in control

You think it's easier
To give up on the trouble
If the trouble is destroying you
You think it's easier
But before you threw me a rope
It was the one thing I could hold on to

I have a will for survival
So you can hurt me then hurt me some more
I can live with denial
But you're not my troubles anymore
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till somebody else was in control
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till somebody else was in control
God knows it's not easy
Taking on the shape of someone else's pain
God now you can see me
I'm naked and I'm not afraid
My body's sacred and I'm not ashamed
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till somebody else was in control
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till someone else was in control

Thank you again for even more replies. I’m working my way through the songs. ❤️

Love’s Recovery by the Indigo Girls

No One mentioned "Hi Infidelity" by REO Speedwagon? It's another entire album devoted to the theme. "Keep on Loving You," "Take it on the Run," etc.

"Someone Like You" by Tim Hardin (and various covers).

"Gomer's Song" or "Song of Gomer" (two different settings) by Michael Card.

"Your Cheating Heart" by Hank Williams.

Lots of songs by Hank Williams . . .

Remember When by Alan Jackson

It's a song he wrote for his wife.

He cheated on her, they were separated for many months and later he figured his problems out. They reconciled.

Ironically my wife posted this song on my FB page and cheats on me 2yrs later.

Humorous song about infidelity by Joran and the Long Road to Love. It’s called Pray for You.

BF finds out his GF cheated. The preacher told him to pray for her.

Here’s a few lines:

I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls

I pray all your dreams - never come true

I love 💕 this song!

I’m sitting on a beach, watching the waves, thinking about how 5 years today my whole world imploded (goes without saying we do not celebrate Valentine’s Day) there are a few tears, the pain still takes me be surprise - sometimes, on occasion.

We’re surviving it, somehow, against all odds, we are surviving, he is reconciliation material. We’ve found a new normal. Not stronger, not better, no one won. Just a new normal.

On repeat I’m listening to Ordinary World by Duran Duran. I believe Simon Le Bon wrote it about grief after the loss of a friend.

When I want to cry and grieve what I had, this is my song, in it I always rediscover acceptance for what we lost and some perspective in my pain.

‘Ours is just a little sorrowed talk’

Remember When by Alan Jackson

It's a song he wrote for his wife.
He cheated on her, they got divorced and later he figured his problems out. They reconciled, then remarried.

Ironically my wife posted this song on my FB page and cheats on me 2yrs later.

Wow, they divorced? I never knew that, I thought she just separated from him. She even wrote a book about it, with his blessing. One of the rare celebrity reconciliation stories that worked out.

.38 Special - Second Chance

Since you've been gone
I feel my life slipping away
I look to the sky
And everything is turnin' gray
All I made was one mistake
How much more will I have to pay
Why can't you think it over
Why can't you forget about the past

When love makes this sound, babe
A heart needs a second chance
Don't put me down, babe
Can't you see I love you
Since you've been gone, I've been in a trance
This heart needs a second chance
Don't say it's over, I just can't say goodbye

So this is love
Standing in the pouring rain
I fooled on you
But she never meant a thing
And I know I ain't got no right
To ask you to sympathize
But why can't you think it over
Why can't you forget the past
When love makes this sound, babe
A heart needs a second chance
Don't put me down, babe
Can't you see I love you
Since you've been gone, I've been in a trance
This heart needs a second chance
Don't say it's over, I just can't say goodbye

I never loved her, I never needed her
She was willing and that's all there is to say
Don't forsake me, please, don't leave me now
A heart needs a second chance
Yeah, you've been gone and I've been in a trance
This heart needs a second chance
Don't say it's over, I just can't say goodbye
Please, forgive me and forget it
I was wrong and I admit it
Why can't we talk it over
Why can't we forget about
Forget about the past
A heart needs a second chance
When love makes this sound, babe
A heart needs a second chance
Don't put me down, babe
You been gone, I've been in a trance
This heart needs a second chance
Don't say it's over, I just can't say goodbye
A heart needs a second chance
When love makes this sound, babe
A heart needs a second chance
A heart needs a second chance
When love makes this sound, babe
A heart needs a second chance
A heart needs a second chance
A heart needs a second chance
A heart needs a second chance

I was mistaken about Alan Jackson, divorcing. They were separated.
Thanks for pointing that out Mechanic.
