Best break up songs or anti-love songs

Oh dear. I started thinking about good break-up songs, went on youtube, followed by uncontrollable crying for a while. 
Sitting here with my face flushed. And I'm not in any process of breaking up, nor do I associate these songs with any particular break-up. Maybe it's because I've known the Orbison songs since they came out in 1989 and my father bought the record, so they've been in my life for the whole time I've been aware of relationship stuff. So maybe I associate them with all the hurt and heartbreak and loneliness I've known. (Roy Orbison's Crying is of course also a classic.)

And then for anti-love songs.. something completely different, anger and frustration etc:

Lyrics:
When I saw her, I saw love for the first time
I talked to her, I heard love for the first time
When I touched her, I felt love for the first time
Love is something special to have
17 years old nothing to lose,
17 years old everything to learn
17 years old, everything to lose
17 years old nothing to learn
Yes, I loved her and I still do,
but Roselyn stole a year of my life
A relationship is give and take,
but I couldn't give enough, still I loved every day of it
A year of my life away from the friends that I love
They loved me enough to never forget me
I love her and she taught me a lot,
but that bitch won't get out of my life...
This isn't a break-up song, but it fits here:
Masterful song. I can feel for both individuals; I even tear up, and that's rare.
My first SO was a Valerie.
"Valerie's dancing on the rooms
Above my bed, you know
For all of the world below to see
Valerie's leaving in a car
Outside my house, you know
Such a shame she's not with me
And all the pretty things
And all the love my heart would bring
I would give my whole life to her
Valerie loves me
Valerie's driving in a car around my neighborhood
She's thinking of all the men she'll meet
I could only hope for a stolen moment of her thoughts
Between the walk to the club
And all the drinks she'll have in a crowded room
Where everybody leaves too soon
I only hope that she remembers me
Valerie loves me
Valerie loves me
Valerie's lonely in an apartment
Down the street, you know
And her hair has turned so gray
But she's so happy for the memories she has
You know
She can believe in the day
When love was on a string
And she could have that
Anything she ever wanted
But she can't have me
Valerie loves me"

When you lost all hope as well as your relationship:
When your ex wants to twist the knife. "I can't say I felt any regret." You'll recover.
"Someday you will be loved."
"I thought I was?"
.....
"Like you never have known."
"Oh."
An ex dedicated this song to me and I wanted to die.
That's enough for now.

Hi everyone here!
I think this is my favorite break up song. I warn you, it's bitter.
