Preferably "unhinged" but hinged will do fine if that's how you prefer to roll

•Pale blue eyes- Velvet Underground

•When you were mine- Prince or Cyndi Lauper versions are both great

•Gave you everything- The Interrupters

•I will always love you- Dolly

•I hate myself for loving you- Joan Jett

•You can have him- Nina Simone

•Fast Car- Tracy Chapman

I feel like being able to listen through this whole song without sobbing during a breakup is a clear sign of progress.

•Flowers on the Wall-Statler Brothers.

OG big unhinged breakup energy

Also doesn't necessarily have to be an official break up song to fit the bill:

•Sweetness- Jimmy Eat World

Always really loved that song, but just recently found out that it's apparently about learning how to not find validation in others. Maybe I was always drawn to it for a reason.

•Wuthering Heights- Kate Bush

Checks off the unhinged/codependent/doomed from the start relationship box even if it's not necessarily a "breakup" song

I will never know that kind of progress. I love that song but I cannot listen to it without crying, it’s so sad.
