A playlist of songs for every reason you might be peeved this Valentine’s Day.
You Oughta Know – Alanis Morissette
“And I’m here to remind you of the mess you left when you went away / It’s not fair to deny me of the cross I bear that you gave to me / You, you, you oughta know”The I’m-bitter-and-I-don’t-care-who-knows song.
Somebody That I Used to Know – Gotye
“No you didn’t have to stoop so low / Have your friends collect your records and then change your number / I guess that I don’t need that though / Now you’re just somebody that I used to know”The melancholy-and-reflective-yet-completely-sane song.
I Will Survive – Cake (Gloria Gaynor cover)
“Oh now go, walk out the door / Just turn around now, you’re not welcome anymore / Weren’t you the one who tried to break me with desire? / Did you think I’d crumble? / Did you think I’d lay down and die?”The I’m-better-off-without-you song.
Habits – Tove Lo

How It’s Going to Be – Third Eye Blind
“How’s it going to be / When there’s no one there to talk to / Between you and me / ‘Cause I don’t care / How’s it going to be”The I-guess-I-don’t-really-need-you song.
She Hates Me – Puddle of Mudd

Ignorance – Paramore
“Don’t wanna hear your sad songs / I don’t wanna feel your pain / When you swear it’s all my fault / ‘Cause you know we’re not the same”The it’s-not-me-it’s-you song.
Good Riddance – Green Day
“It’s something unpredictable but in the end is right / I hope you had the time of your life”The used-for-graduations-but-actually-a-breakup song.
Thnks fr th Mmrs – Fall Out Boy
“One night and one more time / Thanks for the memories even though they weren’t so great / He tastes like you, only sweeter”The deceivingly-politely-titled-but-more-like-a-screw-you song.
Ex-Girlfriend – No Doubt
“I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girlfriend / I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them / And you know it makes me sick to be on that list / But I should have thought of that before we kissed”The so-many-regrets song.
Hey Jealousy – Gin Blossoms
“And you know it might not be that bad / You were the best I’d ever had / If I hadn’t blown the whole thing years ago / I might not be alone”The I-screwed-up-and-I-realize-that song.
You Don’t Know What Love Is – White Stripes

Mr. Brightside – The Killers
“Jealousy, turning saints into the sea / Swimming through sick lullabies / Choking on your alibis / But it’s just the price I pay / Destiny is calling me / Open up my eager eyes / ‘Cause I’m Mr. Brightside”The I’m-gonna-wallow-in-sadness-cause-I-haven’t-moved-on-yet song.
In the End – Linkin Park
“Things aren’t the way they were before / You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore / Not that you knew me back then / But it all comes back to me in the end”
The sometimes-you-get-excited-about-things-but-then-something-comes-along-to-change-everything-like-oh-I-dunno-Chester-Bennington-breaking-his-leg-and-you-try-so-hard-and-get-so-far-but-in-the-end-it-doesn’t-even-matter song.
