#10. Goodbye to You by Michelle Branch

It's pretty hard to listen to this song and not get a little teary. Michelle croons about breaking up with someone she loved a lot and how she now has to say goodbye to her life with him. Great listening after a bad break-up.

#9. Boyfriend By Ashlee Simpson

This track is fun to listen to around Valentine's Day in honor of all those girls who've accused you of stealing their BFs. It's happened to most of us - and even if it hasn't, it's a catchy song to dance around to when you're kicking it alone on V-Day.

#8. These Boots Were Made for Walkin' by Jessica Simpson

Jessica Simpson and Willie Nelson re-made this classic tune, originally sang by Nancy Sinatra, for the Dukes of Hazzard soundtrack. It's all about walking away from a bad relationship, so use it for inspiration this Valentine's Day if you've been sticking with the wrong guy or girl!

#7. Since U Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson

It doesn't get much angrier than this. Kelly rocks out hard with her song Since U Been Gone - a great track about being able to move on from a relationship. But, before she moves on, she's gonna do a little damage to her ex-BF's apartment!

#6. I Don't Want to Think About You by Simple Plan
Sometimes it's easiest to just put an ex completely out of your mind. Don't think about them, don't talk to them and don't look at pictures of you and them together. Pop this track into our stereo, turn up the volume and forget about all those exes who've been causing you trouble.

#5. My Happy Ending by Avril Lavigne
Here's a song for everyone who thought they'd found their happy ending - but who instead ended up getting dumped. Whether you just weren't compatible or their friends convinced them you two weren't good together, being dumped sucks. But, Avril will help you through it.

#4. Leave (Get Out) by JoJo
When JoJo finds out that her guy's been creepin' with another girl she's not about to just sit back and take it. She gets in his face and tells him to get lost! If you've been cheated on, why not call them up and leave this song on their voicemail. It'll make you feel a lot better.

#3. Bye Bye Boyfriend by Fefe Dobson
What do you say when you want to break-up with your BF/GF? Fefe has saved you the trouble of having to come up with something heartfelt or clever to say. Just email them the lyrics to Bye Bye Boyfriend... they'll get the message.

#2. Cry Me a River by Justin Timberlake
No one ever came right out and confirmed it, but this song by Justin Timberlake does back up the rumors that Britney cheated on him. So, he threw together Cry Me a River - complete with a video with a cheating Britney look-a-like.

#1. Cheating on You by Franz Ferdinand
The ultimate break-up song is one that just tells it like it is. Franz Ferdinand says it best with "I'm cheating on you, yeah. You're cheating on me." Guess that is definitely some good grounds to go your separate ways, huh?
