Happy Valentine’s Day, or at least that is what it is supposed to be. However, no one ever said true love is easy. Sometimes when one falls in love there are many love songs to listen to, but what happens when everything isn’t coming up roses? During those times, many turn to a sadder or a more revengeful type of music.
Instead of the traditional “love songs” for Valentine’s Day, I thought it would a fun twist to come up with a list of break-up songs for all those that have split with their Valentine this year. Check out our list of songs for the broken hearted and let us know if you have any to add!
- You Oughta Know – Alanis Morissette
- You’re So Vain- Carly Simon: This is the ultimate song for any heartache. What a great way to get back at someone who hurt you.
- Rolling in the Deep- Adele: What an awesome voice and beautiful song.
- Since U Been Gone– Kelly Clarkson: Another song that can make one have a good cry.
