It's that time of year again, a time for hearts, chocolates, roses, jewelry, romantic dinners and (if you are lucky) wild sex. That's right, Valentine's Day is here. And for bitter people like me, it's the most suckiest time of the year.
To counter all the sappy love songs you are going to hear on the radio I decided to list a few good breakup songs for various occasions. If you have to kick someone to the curb you should find some inspiration here.
If you want to break up with them old school style
BB King – The Thrill is Gone http://youtu.be/4fk2prKnYnI
If they actually hurt you and you can't help but hope that one day they get to experience that same pain.
All American Rejects - Gives You Hell http://youtu.be/uxUATkpMQ8A
If you don't have time for long goodbyes and just want that heifer out of your life as quickly possible.
Ideal - Get Gone http://youtu.be/MPCsH6XiZ_I
If the person is never satisfied with you or anything you do. Or if they are just an evil succubus.
After 7 - Till You Do Me Right http://youtu.be/jLZt_PnocAY
If you feel underappreciated and are ready to find someone who will recognize and respect your awesomeness.
Usher - Think Of You http://youtu.be/mtv3iZ_wRis
If you want to let them know that they are the reason you are leaving.
Bob Dylan - Don't Think Twice http://youtu.be/yZPh3hpxLKs
If you prefer the direct approach.
Uncle Sam - I Don't Ever Want To See You Again http://youtu.be/OWasrUYMHgo
When you realize that no matter how good you are too them or for them, if they aren't willing to give it a shot and make it work you can't do anything about it.
Bobby Womack - If you think you're lonely now http://youtu.be/sbbZ_k1Z8gU
If the breakup wasn't totally your idea. Warning: You may want to take a couple of antidepressants before you watch this one.
Sammy Kershaw – Matches http://youtu.be/hNj8tNAt0Us
If they just did you all kinds of wrong. Warning: There's a few bad words in this one.
Ben Folds Five - Song for the Dumped http://youtu.be/XVk_e31dnlE
