"Take a Bow" by Rhianna
"Go (Mutha****a)" by Angie Martinez
"Fighter" Christina Aguilera
"Stutter" by Joe

Those are my empowering ones. Sad ones are different.

"Stutter" by Joe is a good one..

Reedern

Hootie and the Blowfish: Goodbye
Rascal Flats: I'm moving on
Avril Lavigne: My happy ending

All depends on how the break-up went...

Depends on the break-up/situation... but I've always loved this one: Ideal - Get Gone
The song starts out really romantic and soulful... and the lyrics just crack me up!

[Intro Spoken]
Hey come in here woman sit down
Come here cuz we gotta talk
I don't care oh you just tense baby
It gon' be all over tonight
And I don't even know where to start
No want you to try to understand something girl
Now just listen

In the beginning you know I tried
To make it work but you and I
Seems like I was always by myself
Like you didn't ever ever wanna help
The strain you put on me you let me down
Can you tell me why?
After all I've done for you and us
You know I really hate to say it
But I gotta tell you something

I think I better leave (leave) you alone (alone)
So get your bags (yeah) and get the hell on (on)
See because I don't want you no more
I don't want you no more

I think you better leave (leave) me alone (alone)
So get your bags (yeah) and get the hell on (get gone)
Because love ain't here no more

I don't know if it hurts to hear me say
All of these words, but then again
I guess by now I really don't care
(Said I've waited much too long)
Oh, always thought that it could work
Thought it could be forever you and me
Tell me what happened to us
Wait a minute, don't sleep, cuz right now
All I wanna do is see..

You leaving (leave) me alone (alone)
Get your bag (yeah) get the hell on (on)
Cuz I don't want you no more

Said I think it's time to leave (leave)
You alone (alone) get your bags (yeah)
Get the hell on (get gone)
Cuz love ain't here no more

See I tried to do it right
Tried to make you see the light
All that I wanted, all that I needed
Was you in my life
(All I needed was you in my life, whoa)
Had me broke down and for what
Tried so many times
Forgot who the real me was
But it's alright, I said it's cool
Cuz I'm getting rid of you

I think it's time to leave (leave)
Me alone (alone) get your bags (yeah)
Get the **** on (on)
Because I don't want you no more

Said I think it's time to leave (leave)
Me alone (alone) get yourself and (yeah)
Get the hell on (Get gone)
Love ain't here no more

Oh leave (leave) me alone (alone)
Get your bags (yeah)
Leave the keys and the checkbook (on)
I don't want you no more
(See I've waited much too long)

It's time to leave (leave) me alone (alone)
Get your stuff and (yeah) get gone (get gone)
Cuz love ain't here no more

You better get on (get on)
Get on (get on) get on (get on)
You ain't takin' advantage (get on)
Just get on (get on) get on
Get on, leave the credit card and leave (get on)
Said get on (get on)

Gonna get in the car with a smile and the burn that I put on my arm the day you went away girl and I probably won't come back around again.

I'm Gonna drive all night through the red lights flying,
Over the hill to the county line crying,
Forgetting to forget that you're not mine

Kiss your Apocalypse for the last, last time,
Runaway, runaway, runaway again find.
Anytime you think you changed your mind,
Anytime you want jump back to me anytime
jump back to me anytime
Jump back to me anytime
Come back one more time anytime

There's a place where I go to take the edge off the day
When the radios up your face fades away
Flicker, flicker dim and fade to black
With a back pack packed, and a mark on a map
Gonna drive too fast, gonna not look back
Light the night with a blow torch and a match

Kiss your Apocalypse for the last, last time,
Runaway, runaway, runaway again find.
Anytime you think you changed your mind,
Anytime you want...
Jump back to me anytime
Jump back to me anytime
Jump back to me anytime
Come back one more time anytime

Got no time, reason, or rhyme
Not gonna stop, gonna ride all night
Got no time, reason, or rhyme
Not gonna stop, gonna ride all night
Got no time, reason, or rhyme
Not gonna stop, gonna ride all night

Anytime, jump back to me anytime, jump back to me anytime, jump back to me
anytime,
Come back one more time.

Kiss your Apocalypse for the last, last time,
Runaway, runaway, runaway again find.
Kiss your Apocalypse for the last, last time,
Runaway, runaway, run, run, run.

For the last, last time
For the last, last time
For the last, last time
For the last, last time
