Blossoms, the chart-topping British indie-pop sensation, strikes a heartfelt chord with “To Do List After the Breakup.” This poignant track, released as part of their 2020 album “Foolish Loving Spaces,” delves deep into the turbulent aftermath of love’s dissolution.
The lyrics of “To Do List After...
[Verse 1: Tom Ogden]
Take refuge in your bed
Until the tears dry
Don’t listen to slow songs
They make you cry
Delete their number
Though it’s memorised
On your fingertips
For the rest of your life
[Verse 2: Findlay]
Don’t look at old photos
To pass the time
It does you no favours
They will remind
You of a rose coloured view in your mind
Traces of someone you left behind
[Chorus: Tom Ogden & Findlay]
I was foolish
It’s proven
Keep moving
To do list
After the breakup
[Verse 3: Tom Ogden]
Perfect the art of smiling on occasion
Their name is brought up in convеrsation
Nobody need know your palpitations
First things first self preservation
[Verse 4: Findlay]
Rеmember whatever you do do not call
I’ve been wondering why heartbreak's not taught
In school to warn us what we’re in for
I’d have got myself a degree to be sure
[Chorus: Tom Ogden & Findlay]
I was foolish
It’s proven
Keep moving
To do list
After the breakup
After the breakup
[Bridge: Tom Ogden & Findlay]
Might be a time and place
When it won’t hurt to see your face
If I’d have never met you
I wouldn’t know what I know now
Might be a time and place
When it won’t hurt to see your face
If I’d have never met you
I wouldn’t know what I know now
Might be a time and place
When it won’t hurt to see your face
If I’d have never met you
I wouldn’t know what I know now
[Chorus: Tom Ogden & Findlay]
I was foolish
It’s proven
Keep moving
To do list
After the breakup
(What is the price we pay for love)
(What is the price we pay for love)
[Outro: Tom Ogden & Findlay]
Assuming
There’s a cupid
Well he’s useless
To do list
After the breakup
(What is the price we pay for love)
(What is the price we pay for love)

Tom Ogden:
We’ve always wanted to do a duet, but this is the kind of song that picked itself to do it.
But we didn’t want it to be someone that we would just crow bar in there. We didn’t want it to be contrived, and I’ve been a fan of Finlay’s music for years, even before we were in Blossoms and h...
