Best Break Up Songs?

**tyler_james** · 03-06-09, 10:29 PM

Hey everybody.

Having gone through a tough breakup recently, I found myself surprisingly relying a lot on music to get through it. It AMAZED me how many songs out there seemed to capture exactly what I was feeling at the moment. And we're talking songs that I had listened to for years, but never quite identified with...until the old heart was put through the ringer.

Just curious...what your favorite breakup/getting over someone songs? Always looking to add to my playlist.

Some great suggestions there. Forgot about the Eamon song. Angry much?

A recent one that pretty much sums up getting dumped perfectly:

Fix It by Ryan Adams & The Cardinals.
