Had a crappy thing happen to me today (hooray for valentine's day) and was listening to Butch Walker's BEST THING YOU NEVER HAD song and was wondering, what's your favorite "you broke my heart you bitch" song?
My favorite would probably be "Somebody Kill Me" by Adam Sandler in The Wedding Singer.
"You don't know how much I need you. While you're around I don't feel blue. And when we kiss I know that you need me too. I can't believe I found a love that's so pure and true.
But it all was bullsh@t. It was a goddam joke. And when I think of you and I, I hope you f*@king choke. "
The song continues.......
Other than that I don't think I have a favorite song that says "I loved you and you screwed me". I try to stay away from that stuff, it makes me think way too much.

Well I heard that you're leavin' (leavin') Gonna leave me far behind (so far behind) 'Cause you found a brand new lover You decided that I'm not your kind (aahh..)
So I pulled (I pulled) your name out (name out) of my Rolodex (oohh..) And I tore all your pictures in two And I burned down the malt shop where we used to go Just because it reminds me of you (dippity dippity doo)
That's right (that's right) you ain't gonna see me cryin' I'm glad (I'm glad) that you found somebody new 'Cause I'd rather spend eternity eating shards of broken glass Than spend one more minute with you
I guess I might seem kinda bitter You got me feeling down in the dumps 'Cause I'm stranded all alone in the gas station of love And I have to use the self-service pumps
Oh, so honey, let me help you with that suitcase You ain't (you ain't) gonna break my heart in two 'Cause I'd rather get a hundred thousand paper cuts on my face Than spend one more minute with you
I'd rather rip out my intestines with a fork Than watch you going out with other men I'd rather slam my fingers in a door (yah) Again and again and again and again and again
Oh, can't you see what I'm tryin' to say, Darlin...
I'd rather have my blood sucked out by leeches (leeches) Shove an icepick under a toenail or two I'd rather clean all the bathrooms in Grand Central Station with my tongue Than spend one more minute with you
Yes, I'd rather jump naked on a huge pile of thumbtacks Or stick my nostrils together with crazy glue I'd rather dive into a swimming pool filled with double-edged razor blades Than spend one more minute with you
I'd rather rip my heart out of my ribcage with my bare hands and then throw it on the floor and stomp on it 'till I die Than spend one more minute with you
fall apart when you're around When you're here, I'm nowhere I can't pretend that I'm not down I show it I know it I've been a fool - more than once, more than twice I'm gonna move to a new town where the people are nice
I hope I never, I hope I never have to sigh again I hope I never, I hope I never have to cry again I still want to beam and smile yah Happiness is back in style yeah I hope I never, I hope I never have to see you again Again, oh oh oh oh
It should be possible I know To see you without stress But I can see I'll have to go I'm changing my address My urge to cry I have failed to conceal Life - it's no fun when your hunted by the things that you feel
I hope I never, I hope I never have to sigh again I hope I never, I hope I never have to cry again I'm for living while you can I'm an optimistic man I hope I never, I hope I never have to see you again Again, oh oh oh oh...
I hope I never I hope I never I hope I never, never, never...
I hope I never, I hope I never have to see you again

Originally posted by a very angry Steve Albini To the one true God above: here is my prayer - not the first you've heard, but the first I wrote. (not the first, but the others were a long time ago). There are two people here, and I want you to kill them. Her - she can go quietly, by disease or a blow to the base of her neck, where her necklaces close, where her garments come together, where I used to lay my face... That's where you oughta kill her, in that particular place. Him - just fucking kill him, I don't care if it hurts. Yes I do, I want it to, fucking kill him but first make him cry like a woman, (no particular woman), let him hold out, hold back (someone or other might come and fucking kill him). Fucking kill him. Kill him already, kill him. Fucking kill him, fucking kill him, Kill him already, kill him, Just fucking kill him! {repeats "death mantra"}
In a somewhat different vein, my choice is one that made an ex of mine simultaneously cry and curse me out when a friend of mine played it for her at my request after she broke up with me.

I face the day again Against the window pane. I remain your closest friend, And wish you back again. You wonder how I feel; You think you've pushed too far. If only you could see this pen Scribbling down my heart. I'll be waiting. I may be young or old and gray, Counting the days, But I'll be waiting, And when I finally see you come, I'll run when I see you-- I'll meet you. But still the days drag on. Why did you decide to go? Did you only need to see What only time can show? I'll be waiting. I may be young or old and gray, Counting the days, But I'll be waiting, And when I finally see you come, I'll run when I see you. And even if You never do return, Still I will have learned How to love you better. I'll be waiting. I may be young or old and gray, Counting the days, But I'll be waiting, And when I finally see you come, I'll run to meet you. I'll be waiting. I may be young or old and gray, Counting the days, I'll be waiting, And when I finally see you come, I'll run to meet you....

At This Moment by Billy Vera & the Beaters (Family Ties connection to this one)
What did you think, I would do at this moment, When you're standing before me, With tears in your eyes.. Tryin to tell me that you, Found you another.. And you just don't love me, No more..
What did you think, I would say at this moment, When I'm faced with the knowledge, That you just don't love me.. Did you think I would curse you, Or say things to hurt you, Cause you just don't love me no more..
Did you think I could hate you, Or raise my hands to you, Now come on you know me too well.. How could I hurt you, When darling I love you, And you know, I'd never hurt you..
What do you think, I would give at this moment, If you stay I'd subtract twenty years from my life.. I'd fall down on my knees, Kiss the ground that you walk on, If I could just hold you again..
I'd fall down on my knees, Kiss the ground that you walk on baby, If I could just hold you.. If I, Could just, Hold you.. If I....If I could just hold you. Again.
I'm Blind Jimmy Winthrop, Blues singer for the Rich.
I drove seven hours All day to see you The least that you could do is be at home I wait outside your front door I guess that I surprised us both When you get home you’re not alone The way I thought you’d be You introduce your friend On some sunny day you’re gonna fall for me The way I fell for you That’s when I’m gonna make you cry
I haven’t thought of you in fifteen days and today I still won’t think of you And when I call you up and you’re not well I might not even care Every day gets better than the one before Cause every day I know that I’m fine without you But I don’t think about it
This one is not about you You can put that in your pipe and smoke it This one is not about you Baby, you can take that to the bank And shove it up your big fat ass
Ok, one more. When You Go, which is done in 4-part a cappella (in which he does all 4 parts):
Only a moment ago we had nothing but time Everything lasted forever and you were all mine Only a dream I know Thinking you’d never go Tearing off pieces of myself Just for the time it buys me
Fold my heart up small Or break it into pieces Find somewhere and keep it there Take it when you go
While I haven't needed a song like this and I hope to never need it again, you really can't go wrong with "Baby Bitch" by Ween:
It's been a while since I've seen you smile But now you've come back again Came into the room and you saw my girl And you asked her how long it's been "A year" she said and you shook your head Said "I'm surprised it's gone on that long"
Baby, Baby, Baby Bitch For words I am at a loss Baby, Baby, Baby Bitch I'm better now please fuck off
What else you gonna say when while you're back on your stay Maybe something, maybe nothing, we'll see It's just too bad, you're beautiful I guess I wasn't for you and you weren't for me
Baby, Baby, Baby Bitch Please slip back into yourself Baby, Baby, Baby Bitch Go conquer someone else
People say, "How beautiful, how sweet, how kind" You're perfect, you've got nothing to hide But I, for one, have seen the sun And the bitch that you've locked up inside
Got fat, got angry, started hating myself Wrote "Birthday Boy" for you babe Now I'm skinny and sick and paranoid Without a cent to my name
Baby, Baby, Baby Bitch Fuck you, you stinkin' ass ho Most beauty I've seen you come from a dream But I can't close my eyes anymore No, I can't close my eyes anymore
Sure, not the most MATURE song in the world, but...
So you wanted to take a break Slow it down some and have some space Well fuck you too!
Give me my money back Give me my money back, you bitch I want my money back
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 bitch I want my money back ... and don't forget my black T-shirt.

--THE LAST DAY OF OUR ACQUAINTANCE - Sinead O'Connor--
This is the last day of our acquaintance I will meet you later in somebody's office I'll talk but you won't listen to me I know what your answer will be I know you don't love me anymore You used to hold my hand when the plane took off Two years ago there just seemed so much more And I don't know what happened to our love Today's the day Our friendship has been stale And we will meet later to finalize the details Two years ago the seed was planted And since then you have taken me for granted
But this is the last day of our acquaintance I will meet you later in somebody's office I'll talk but you won't listen to me I know your answer already But this is the last day of our acquaintance I will meet you later in somebody's office I'll talk but you won't listen to me I know your answer already I know your answer already I know your answer already

--LONESOME TOWN - Ricky Nelson--
There's a place where lovers go To cry their troubles away And they call it Lonesome Town Where the broken hearts stay
You can buy a dream or two To last you all through the years And the only price you pay Is a heart full of tears
Goin' down to Lonesome Town Where the broken hearts stay Goin' down to Lonesome Town To cry my troubles away
In the town of broken dreams The streets are paved with regret Maybe down in Lonesome Town I can learn to forget
Maybe down in Lonesome Town I can learn to forget

(Lastly...)
--CRYING IN THE RAIN - A-Ha--
I'll never let you see The way my broken heart is hurting me I've got my pride and I know how to hide All my sorrow and pain I'll do my crying in the rain
If I wait for stormy skies You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes You'll never know that I still love you so Though the heartaches remain I'll do my crying in the rain
Raindrops falling from heaven Could never take away my misery But since we're not together I pray for stormy weather To hide these tears I hope you'll never see
Someday when my crying's done I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun I may be a fool But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain I'll do my crying in the rain I'll do my crying in the rain

"Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)" -Vertical Horizon
So you sailed away Into a grey sky morning Now I'm here to stay Love can be so boring
Nothing's quite the same now I just say your name now
[Chorus] But it's not so bad You're only the best I ever had You don't want me back You're just the best I ever had
So you stole my world Now I'm just a phony Remembering the girl Leaves me down and lonely
Send it in a letter Make yourself feel better
[Chorus] But it's not so bad You're only the best I ever had You don't need me back You're just the best I ever had
And it may take some time to Patch me up inside But I can't take it so I Run away and hide And I may find in time that You were always right You're always right
So you sailed away Into a grey sky morning Now I'm here to stay Love can be so boring
What was it you wanted Could it be I'm haunted
[Chorus] But it's not so bad You're only the best I ever had I don't want you back You're just the best I ever had The best I ever had The best I ever
