I almost forgot one of my favorite songs - it's more of a wallowing in pit kind of song though.

 

Wish the Worst - Old 97's

Why aren't you here? It's almost 4 am.
I finished up all of your beer, Now I'm startin' on your gin.
I went through your diary, flipped through your phone book -called all your friends.
I just wanna know where you been, I just wanna know where you been.

I pulled back your sheets, Now I'm crawlin' in your bed.
Every drink's one more defeat, And every footstep hurts my head.
I don't want excuses. I don't wanna hear that you were out with your friends.
I just wanna know where you been, I just wanna know where you been.

CHORUS
I hope you crash your momma's car.
I hope you pass out in some bar.
I hope you catch some kinda flu.
Let's say I wish the worst for you.

I hope you're happy with yourself.
I hope you found somebody else, cause I ain't askin' you again.
I just wanna know where you been, I just wanna know where you been.

Why am I here? I've got better things to do.
I could hang out on the pier, down by the Hudson, sniffin' glue.
I guess I'm a loser, but I like being miserable, swimming in sin.
I just wanna know where you been, I just wanna know where you been.

CHORUS

REO Speedwagon - Time for me to Fly

I will never forget this song coming on the radio after breaking up with my highschool sweetheart.   Happy to say that I didn't marry her.   

Ive been around for you
Ive been up and down for you
But I just cant get any relief
Ive swallowed my pride for you
Ive lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief

You got me stealin your love away
cause you never give it
Peeling the years away
And we cant relive it
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe its time for me to fly

You said wed work it out
You said that you had no doubt
That deep down we were really in love
Oh, but Im tired of holding on
To a feeling I know is gone
I do believe that Ive had enough

Ive had enough of the falseness
Of a worn out relation
Enough of the jealousy
And the intoleration
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe its time for me to fly
time for me to fly
Oh, Ive got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
And thats just how its got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But its time for me to fly

Oh, dont you know its...
Its time for me to fly

Half Your Age - Kid Rock

I found someone new who treats me better
She don't B--ch about things we ain't got
When I sing this tune it don't upset her
She's half your age and twice as hot

Oh she wakes up every morning and she folds my clothes
Doesn't care about the strippers dancing at my shows
She knows that I love her so I just wanted you to know

[Chorus] yee haw!yeah!.. [Chorus]

Oh she don't start trouble cuz she dont need drama
She likes it in the mornin' and she loves my momma
I'm her big poppa an she's my little rock n roll

[Chorus]

puddle of mudd with

she hates me,,,,

met a girl ,, thought she was grand
fell in love, found out first hand
that went well for a week or two
then it all came unglued
then I realized I was living a lie
since she really hates me
she F********ing hates me
 I tried to hard and she tore my feelings like I had none

^^ works great when played back to back with Ugly Kid Joe's 'I hate everything about you"


I, hate the rain and sunny weather,
and I, hate beach and mountains too;
(and) I don't like a thing about the city, no, no,
and I, I, I, hate the countryside too!

And I, hate everything about you!
...everything about you!

I, don't like a thing about your mother,
and I, I hate your daddy's guts too,
I don't like a thing about your sister,
'cause I think sex is overrated too.

CHORUS

and I, get sick when I'm around, I, can't stand to be around,
I, hate everything about you!
everything about you, everything about you, everything about you!

Clearly "I Will Survive". Best ever. Or anything angry by Kelly Clarkson, Pink, Avril Lavigne, etc. Angry chick music is always good. (Okay, Kelly Clarkson isn't always angry, but she has some angry/sad songs).

Did I mention I hate Valentine's Day with a fervent passion?

Speaking of angry chick songs...Alanis Morisette's "You Oughtta Know" came out just as I was getting dumped. That was my anthem for several months. Now when I hear it I get a good laugh. Thanks goodness I got dumped.

Alkaline Trio - Crawl

Waking up zeroed in on medicine
Am I waking up at all today
Seeing lights, feeling pain
There's my cure on ice
I can walk but I will crawl there
I will crawl there
Sitting straight, feeling faint
An exhausted smile screens my words
But I will hear them
Here's a phrase that we all know
But I can't make sense
I don't know words but I will hear them
I still hear them
Never ran away for the sake of scars
Tried not to move but she was armed
And shots were fired
Now a hole in the head of this wounded liar
Never had a drink that I didn't like
Got a taste of you, threw up all night
I got more sick
With every sour second rate kiss
Everything I never would miss again

Estranged, by Guns N' Roses: (this is a nice and cheery wrist-slitter, enjoy!)


When you're talkin' to yourself
And nobody's home
You can fool yourself
You came in this world alone
(Alone)

So nobody ever told you baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to you baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see
ONE, TWO

Old at heart but I'm only 28
And I'm much too young
To let love break my heart
Young at heart but it's getting much too late
To find ourselves so far apart

I don't know how you're s'posed
To find me lately
An what more could you ask from me
How could you say that I never needed you
When you took everything
Said you took everything from me

Young at heart an it gets so hard to wait
When no one I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart but I mustn't hesitate
If I'm to find my own way out

Still talkin' to myself
and nobody's home
(Alone)

So nobody ever told us baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to us baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see

When I find out all the reasons
Maybe I'll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I'll get it right next time
An now that you've been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds
You're back down on the ground
And you don't talk so loud
An you don't walk so proud
Any more, and what for

Well I jumped into the river
Too many times to make it home
I'm out here on my own, an drifting all alone
If it doesn't show give it time
To read between the lines
'Cause I see the storm getting closer
And the waves they get so high
Seems everything we've ever known's here
Why must it drift away and die

I'll never find anyone to replace you
Guess I'll have to make it through, this time- Oh this time
Without you

I knew the storm was getting closer
And all my friends said I was high
But everything we've ever known's here
I never wanted it to die

Just a song I love anyway. Makes up for raw anger with subtle and incredibly beautiful lyrics in the Spanish.

"But don't forget, woman, that one day you'll say
Ay ay ay how love hurts me"

"Corazón Espinado" by Maná and Santana, English translation of lyrics
community.livejournal.com/songlations/4665.html

Esa mujer me está matando
Me ha espinado el corazón
Por más que trato de olvidarla
Mi alma no da razón


This woman is killing me
She's set thorns around my heart
The more I try to forget her
My soul doesn't reason

Mi corazón aplastado
Dolido y abandonado
[Alt: Herido y abandonado]
Aber aber tú sabes dime mi amor
Cuánto amor?
Y qué dolor nos quedó?


My heart, depressed
Hurt and abandoned [Alt: Wounded and abandoned]
Let's see, let's see, you know, tell me, my love
How much love
And what pain is left for us?

(Coro
Ah ah ah corazón espinado
Ah ah ah como me duele el amor


(Chorus
Ah ah ah thorned heart
Ah ah ah how love hurts me

Como duele, como duele el corazón
Cuando uno es bien entregado
[Alt: Cuando nos tiene entregados]
Pero no olvides mujer que algún día dirás
Ay ay ay como me duele el amor


How it hurts, how the heart hurts
When one is fully surrendered [Alt: When it has us belonging to another]
But don't forget, woman, that one day you'll say
Ay ay ay how love hurts me

Como me duele el olvido
Como duele el corazón
Como me duele estar vivo
Sin tenerte a un lado, amor


How it hurts to forget
How the heart hurts
How it hurts being alive
Without you beside me, my love

Corazón espinado... (repeated)

Thorned heart...

Translation Notes:

Corazón Espinado / Thorned Heart
That's the literal translation.
Note that in Spanish, to have a corazón espinado is to have a broken heart.

Que dolor nos quedó / What pain is left for us:
Dang it, this translation sounds awkward to me and I can't think of a better one. It's a good literal translation, though.

Cuando nos tiene entregados / When it has us belonging to another:
In this case, "another" refers to whoever the song is directed to, i.e. my heart doesn't belong to me, it belongs to you - and that's hurting me! The line also makes it sound like the heart has a will of its own.

Edit: Cuando uno es bien entregado / When one is fully surrendered
Hahaha... it turns out that both the online lyrics transcribers and I misheard the line before. This is what it's actually saying.

entregar = to deliver, to hand over, to give up, to surrender

Como me duele el olvido / How it hurts to forget:
Notice that Spanish has a noun ("el olvido" whereas the English translation has a verb (to forget).

My favorite breakup song is "Feel a Whole Lot Better" by Tom Petty.

The reason why, oh I can't say
I have to let you go babe, and right away
After what you did I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone

Baby for a long time you had me believe
That your love was all mine
And that's the way it would be
But I didn't know that you were puttin' me on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone

Now I gotta say that it's not like before
And I'm not gonna play your games anymore
After what you did I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole let better
When you're gone

Late for the Sky; Jackson Browne...

The words had all been spoken
And somehow the feeling still wasnt right
And still we continued on through the night
Tracing our steps from the beginning
Until they vanished into the air
Trying to understand how our lives has led us there

Looking hard into your eyes
There was nobody Id ever known
Such an empty surprise to feel so alone

Now for me some words come easy
But I know that they dont mean that much
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch
You never knew what I loved in you
I dont know what you loved in me
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be

Awake again I cant pretend and I know Im alone
And close to the end of the feeling weve known

How long have I been sleeping
How long have I been drifting alone through the night
How long have I been dreaming I could make it right
If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might
To be the one you need

Awake again I cant pretend and I know Im alone
And close to the end of the feeling weve known

How long have I been sleeping
How long have I been drifting alone through the night
How long have I been running for that morning flight
Through the whispered promises and the changing light
Of the bed where we both lie
Late for the sky

My all-time favorite "love sucks!" song is Ben Folds' "Song for the Dumped." Love this song! Such an upbeat sounding song for such a terrible message, it actually makes me smile.


Ben Folds Five - Song For The Dumped lyrics
So you wanted to take a break?
Slow it down some and have some space?
F*** you too!
Give me my money back, give me my money back, you b****!
I want my money back.
And don't forget, and don't forget to give me back my black t-shirt.

I wish I hadn't bought you dinner
Right before you dumped me on your front porch.
Give me my money back, give me my money back, you b****!
I want my money back.
And don't forget, and don't forget to give me back my black t-shirt.

So you wanted to take a break?
Slow it down some and have some space?

Give me my money back, give me my money back you !
I want my money back, I want my money back!
And don't forget...

Blame it on your heart by Patty Loveless (last name seems appropriate for this thread too)

You've got a thing or two to learn about me baby
'Cause I ain't taking it no more and I don't mean maybe
You don't know right from wrong
Well the love we had is gone
So blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating,
Two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart

Well all I wanted was to be your one and only
And all I ever got from you was being lonely
Now that dream is laid to rest
'Cause you have failed the test
Hey blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating,
Two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart

Are you headed for a heartache, oh yeah
Gonna get a bad break, oh yeah
You made a bad mistake, oh yeah
Well, you're never gonna find another love like mine
Someone's gonna do you like you done me honey
And when she does you like she'll do you, it ain't funny
You need some sympathy
But don't be calling me
Hey blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating
Two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart

Are you headed for a heartache, oh yeah
Gonna get a bad break, oh yeah
You made a bad mistake, oh yeah
Well, you're never gonna find another love like mine

2000 Miles-  Erasure

There's something I need to say
I'm not sad you're gone away no way
Won't be calling information
Or waiting at the railway station
You walked out of my front door
I wasn't then but now I'm sure
I need to be at least 2000 miles away from you

2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you

Had to get me to the church on time
To say that silly I do I do nursery rhyme
You've been at me for awhile
Say hey now baby don't you cramp my style
Don't go beating me like that
I'm glad I won't be coming back
I need to be at least 2000 miles away from you

2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you

Already Gone - Sugarland (edited for length)

They say the first time won't ever last
But that didn't stop me, the first time he laughed
All my friends tried to warn me the day that we met
"Girl, don't you lose your heart yet"
But his dark eyes dared me with danger
And sparks fly like flame to a vapor
Fire in his touch burnin' me up, but still I held on 'cause

I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone
Life is a runaway train you can't wait to jump on

The last time I saw him, we packed up my things
And he smiled like the first time he told me his name
And we cried with each other
We spread the blame for the parts, that we couldn't change
Pictures, dishes and socks
It's our whole life down to one box
There he was waving goodbye on the front porch alone

But I was already gone
