Just trying to get over a break up where I've been messed about by a guy I really really liked - feel so heartbroken and so used AngrySad but I want to stop liking him and start hating him!!
Can anyone recommend any good break up songs?? The sort that make you think sod it I don't need that lying waste of space knob-end in my life anyway, and I deserve much better etc?

Actually the whole album is good for getting over stuff and moving on.

Te quiero fuera de miente. My spanish zumba teacher has had a breakup and once you google the words the song is quite nice and good to dance along to.

Cheesy but it's what you're after lyrics wise.

I remember repeatedly belting out The Chain by Fleetwood Mac when my ex finished it. Very cathartic. Emphasis on DAMN YOUR LIES

Forget break up songs. Just put a happy dancing around the house like a loon playlist on and dont stop dancing!
