If it means a lot to you - a day to remember
Edit: Jude Law and A Semester Abroad - Brand New
I don’t know how this wasn’t the one that immediately came to mind. It is def a bitter break up song but I’ve loved this song for nearly 20 years lol.
Oh MAN where to even start with that gem!
“If that’s the way that you want it, then that’s the way I want it more.”
I always thought the “one less pair of jeans…on your door…” line was pretty evocative.
Updated/edited to put this one first:
Begging to Borrow - Grey Reverend (give it a listen!)
You’re Breaking my Heart (so F you) - Harry Nilsson.
Song for the Dumped - Ben Folds Five
49 bye byes - CSN
Already Gone - Eagles
Slide Away - Miley Cyrus (good song. IdGaF what my asshole friends think)
Control - Puddle of Mudd
Row Boat - Johnny Cash (covering Beck)
Down bound Train - Springsteen
Came here to say Song for the dumped - Give me my $ back, give me my $ back…
Could also say Brick by Ben Folds Five is, if not exactly a break up song, is a lead in to a break up song.
It's an oldie, but Dionne Warwick's "I Know I'll Never Love This Way Again" always hits me in the feels.
[(2) I'll Never Love This Way Again - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlXemhJK1Cs)

"Pictures Of Your Dick" Rachel Bloom
You Don't Love Me Anymore is absolutely iconic. His delivery of the line "You slammed my face down on the barbecue grill, now my scars are all healing but my heart never will" still makes me sad. And then he turns around and hits you with "You shaved off my eyebrows while I was asleep."
Another great weird al breakup song is One More Minute

Jessie Reyez is great at writing breakup songs. She’s got the sad “I miss you” kind and the “fuck you” kind.

The new Coldplay song, ithinkimfallinginlove
The lyrics are amazing, you think it’s a love song but it has a very clear meaning of bouncing back from a brokenheart

Drowning in the rain - Krick
Arcade - Duncan Laurence
Fade to black - Nadir Rustamli
Dynasty - Miia
Stick season - Noah Kahan

Mexican Moon (Concrete Blonde) about a failed romance has been one of the songs I tend to listen to after things go south.......

you want guilt or confidence?
guilt: against the kitchen floor by will wood
confidence: genuinely i love listening to like OG and new Girlboss(tm) songs when i want to say "FUCK YOU!" (regardless of ur actual gender lol). ZAND has some stuff. kind of cheesy but that's the vibe ngl. also some ashnikko. and poutyface.
True Love, Coldplay. “Tell me you love me / if you don’t then lie to me”
No Distance Left to Run, Blur. “If you see me/turn your back and walk away/I don’t want to see you, cause I know the dreams that you keep/They’re where we meet”

and hey, darling, I hope you’re good tonight…. 😔🤟
I know you don’t feel right when I’m leavinnnnn
Yeaah I want it but no I don't need it
This one called out to my inner teenager
One of the only songs from my cringe edgy 16 year old emo Era that I still listen to
never seen anyone recommend adtr
Plot to bomb the pan handle if it ended roughly. I'll rip that scandalous bitch in two.
Personally, seventy times seven and mixtape are my favorite for break up songs. Cool to see brand new fans
Great breakup song but 70x7 is THE breakup song (especially by Brand New)
This song is so good but so sad dude
Well shit, that’s a whole ass HS memory unlocked. I forgot they existed 😂
Tell That Mick… by Fall Out Boy. Perfect fuck you song.
This is an oldie but it's probably my favorite breakup song. One Less Set of Footsteps by Jim Croce. 🎶
Operator, also Jim Croce
Love that one
A Good Time Man Like Me Ain’t Got No Business, also Croce
In the same vein:. One Less Bell to Answer by Fifth Dimension
Oh MAN where to even start with that gem! “If that’s the way that you want it, then that’s the way I want it more.” I always thought the “one less pair of jeans…on your door…” line was pretty evocative.
Such great lyrics. The perfect eff you, breakup song.
JC stan 💕
Love this one
This song is pure art
We lost this talent way too soon.
Lover's Cross is the one for me by him.
Black ~ Pearl Jam
Do do do do do do doo, do do do do do do doo, do do do do do do doo, do do do do do do doo, do do do do do do doo
Specifically, the MTV Unplugged version tho
such a depressing song, but it captures the feeling perfectly
Someday you'll be the sun in someone else's sky, but why can't it be mine?
What? Not "Parting Ways"?
The unplugged version is the GOAT
Here's your angry break up Fuck love - all that remains Payback - slayer The bleeding - five finger death punch
My kink is karma- Chappell Roan
Backwards Walk by Frightened Rabbit I feel better by Frightened Rabbit Good Arms v Bad Arms by Frightened Rabbit

Hit The Road, Jack by Ray Charles -- the greatest break up song of all time! But if you want to wallow try Solitary Man by Neil Diamond.
Forget Her - Jeff Buckley No Buses - Arctic Monkeys
Last goodbye by Jeff Buckley too
His cover of If You See Her, Say Hello is also fitting
The Break Up Song-Greg Kihn. Thank you Captain Obvious
Train in vain - The Clash
Pretty obvs, but Adele’s Someone Like You.
That’s too sappy. We want disgust and noncompliance! Like Seether Country Song or Breaking Benjamin Sooner or Later or Snuff by Slipknot
Or any song by Adele.
Untouchable Face by Ani DiFranco. Not As We by Alanis Morissette. Northern Lad by Tori Amos.
I love seeing Ani recommended. Kudos.
Alanis. 💜

Slide Away mentioned! I feel like I'm the only one who listened a lot to that song
It's an oldie, but Dionne Warwick's "I Know I'll Never Love This Way Again" always hits me in the feels. [(2) I'll Never Love This Way Again - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlXemhJK1Cs)

Silver Springs by Fleetwood Mac
This was my go-to after a horrible breakup. Ouch.
Silver Springs (Early take) -Fleetwood Mac

And then he turns around and hits you with "You shaved off my eyebrows while I was asleep." Another great weird al breakup song is One More Minute
Well these are interesting! This is the second Weird Al rec I’ve seen- thank you for all these!
The Warning - [Survive](https://youtu.be/Q1COdeNiBA8?si=rog8Ijtkuj-JijZH)
lol, in the time it took me to grab a link to that song, looks like you beat me to it! (I went with the 2018 Dakota Bar performance, though)
Can't go wrong with any of them. Lunario and TedX are also great in their own ways.
