Jace Wayland/ Morgenstern/ Lightwood/ Herondale - for a moment I deliberated giving him the song "what's my name" from Disney descendants 2. But it was quickly dismissed in favor of the song "demons" by imagine dragon. There is the obvious reason for this choice, which is shadowhunters and their relation to demons.
But the real reason for this decision was how it's all about a man who loves a girl but thinks he's damned so he pushes her away for her own good.
Some lyrics describe Jace so perfectly that it's slightly eerie, for instance:
"When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes"
This seems to correlate nicely with Jace's much described golden eyes and the infernal heat he receives later on in the series.

"Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how"
Not only does this paragraph represent Jace's love for clary completely it also expresses his vulnerability that we see hidden throughout the series.

Here are the lyrics (comment if any line throughout the song resonates with your feeling about Jace):

When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood's run stale

I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

At the curtain's call
It's the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl

So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made

Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't wanna hide the truth

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go

Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
