Anti-love songs

Just to make today all-inclusive - there are a number of "love stinks" or "I don't love you anymore" kind of songs (including, "Love Stinks") out there. My favorite is "Break your heart" by Barenaked Ladies, because it sounds like a traditional love song, but the words say otherwise:

"And if I always seem distracted
Like my minds somewhere else
That's because it's true, yes it's true
it's this stupid pride that makes me feel
Like I have to follow through
Even half-(heartedly*), loving you"



*edited so i don't kill my first thread i've ever created here.

So what are some good - breakup, get lost, i hate you songs?

    want you (I want you)
    I need you (I need you)
    But-there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
    Now don't be sad (Don't be sad)
    'Cause two out of three ain't bad

    Blood by In This Moment

    I hate you for the sacrifices you made for me
    I hate you for every time you ever bled for me
    I hate you for the way you smile when you look at me
    I hate you for never taking control of me

    I hate you for always saving me from myself
    I hate you for always choosing me and not someone else
    I hate you for always pulling me back from the edge
    I hate you for every kind word you ever said
    I'll bleed you dry now

    Blood, blood, blood
    Pump mud through my veins
    Shut your dirty, dirty mouth
    I'm not that easy

    Blood, blood, blood
    Pump mud through my veins
    I'm a dirty, dirty girl
    I want it filthy

    I love you for everything you ever took from me
    I love the way you dominate and you violate me
    I love you for every time you gave up on me
    I love you for the way you look when you lie to me
    I love you for never believing in what I say
    I love you for never once giving me my way
    I love you for never delivering me from pain
    I love you for always driving me insane
    I'll bleed you dry now

    I, hate the rain and sunny weather,
    And I, I hate the beach and mountains too bu hu
    And I don't like a thing about the city, no, no
    And I, I, I, hate the countryside too!


    And I, hate everything about you!
    ... everything about you!

    And I, don't like a thing about your mother,
    And I, I hate your daddys guts too bu hu
    And I, don't like a thing about your sister, no, no
    Cause I, I, I, think sex is overrated too.


    And I, get sick when I'm around, I, can't stand to be around,
    I, hate everything about you!

    Some say I got a bad attitude,
    But that don't change the way I feel about you,
    And if you think this thought might bring me down,
    Look again cause I aint wearin no frown!

    I don't really care about your sister
    Forget the little ***** cause I already kissed her

    One thing that I did to your lady
    I put her on the bed and she didn't even say maybe
    I know you know everybody knows
    The way it comes, the way it's gonna go
    You think it's sad,
    And that's too bad,
    Cause I'm havin

    I wish I hadn't bought you dinner
    right before you
    dumped me on your front porch

    Give me my money back
    give me my money back
    you b*tch
    I want my money back
    And don't forget
    And don't forget
    to give me back my black T-shirt

    Met a girl, thought she was grand
    fell in love, found out first hand
    went well for a week or two
    then it all came unglued

    In a trap, trip I can't grip
    never thought I'd be the one who'd slip
    then I started to realize
    I was living one big lie

    Sit down, please make yourself comfortable...
    I might need some time
    to dance around what I need to say,
    I love you to death, I think I need a break.

    I spend my days worried out loud,
    I gag in my head, I choke it back down.
    It hurts me inside to save your insides,
    so close my lips tight, move eyes to the side.

    This is the way we disappear.
    It's easy if you burnout like a star.
    This is the way we disappear.
    It's easy like a fifty foot fall.

    And I'm waiting, for whatever better time...
    to evict these words that have rented out my mind.
    And I'm hating every minute that I don't speak out loud,
    like a year laying down
    like a year laying down
    like a year laying down

    Relax on this bed of nails, on this plastic sheet,
    your blood leaves a trail right back to me.
    A problem you see.
    Would you please allow a moment to think?

    Eminem - "Puke"

    You don't know how sick you make me
    You make me fuqing sick to my stomach
    Everytime I think of you I Puke
    You must just not knoooooowww
    You may not think you do
    But you do everytime I think of you I Puke

    I was gonna take the time to sit down and write you a little poem
    But off of the dome would probably be a little more
    More suitable for this type of song woah
    I got a million reasons off the top of my head that I can think of
    Sixteen bars this ain't enough to put some ink to*
    So *kitten* it I'ma start right here I'll just be briefer
    Bout to rattle off some other reasons
    I knew I shouldnt go and get another tattoo of you on my arm
    But what do I go and do? I go and get another one now I got two
    Oooooh Now I'm sittin here with your name on my skin
    I can't believe I went and did this stupid *kitten* again
    My next girlfriend now her name's gotta be Kim Shiiiiiiiit
    If you only knew how much I hated you
    For every mothafuqin thing you ever put us through
    Then I wouldnt be standin here cryin over you booooooooo

    You don't know how sick you make me
    You make me fuqing sick to my stomache
    Everytime I think of you I Puke
    You must just not knoooooowww
    You may not think you do
    But you do everytime I think of you I Puke

    I was gonna take the time to sit down and write you a little letter
    But I thought a song would probly be a little better instead of a letter
    That you'd probly just shred up yeah I stumbled on your picture
    Yesterday and it made me stop and think of how much of a waste
    It would be to put some ink to a stupid piece of paper
    I'd rather have you see how much I fuqin hate you in a freestyle

    You're a fuqin cokehead slut I hope you fuqin die
    I hope you get to hell and Satan sticks a needle in your eye
    I hate your fuqin guts you fuqin slut I hope you die (diiiiiie)
    But please don't get me wrong I'm not bitter or mad
    It's not that I still love you its not that I want you back
    It's just that when I think of you it makes me wanna yak eeeack
    But what else can I do I havn't gotta clue
    Now I guess I just move on I got no choice but to
    But everytime I think of you now all I want to do is puuuuuke

    You don't know how sick you make me
    You make me fuqin sick to my stomache
    Everytime I think of you I Puke
    You must just not not knoooooowww
    You may not think you do
    But you do everytime I think of you I Puke

    Fuqin bi.tch

    Led Zeppelin "since I've been loving you"

    "Since I've Been Loving You"

    Working from seven to eleven every night,
    It really makes life a drag, I don't think that's right.
    I've really, really been the best of fools, I did what I could.
    'Cause I love you, baby, How I love you, darling, How I love you, baby,
    How I love you, girl, little girl.
    But baby, Since I've Been Loving You. I'm about to lose my worried mind, oh, yeah.

    Everybody trying to tell me that you didn't mean me no good.
    I've been trying, Lord, let me tell you, Let me tell you I really did the best I could.
    I've been working from seven to eleven every night, I said It kinda makes my life a drag.
    Lord, that ain't right...
    Since I've Been Loving You, I'm about to lose my worried mind.

    Said I've been crying, my tears they fell like rain,
    Don't you hear, Don't you hear them falling,
    Don't you hear, Don't you hear them falling.

    Do you remember mama, when I knocked upon your door?
    I said you had the nerve to tell me you didn't want me no more, yeah
    I open my front door, hear my back door slam,
    You must have one of them new fangled back door man.

    I've been working from seven, seven, seven, to eleven every night, It kinda makes my life a drag...
    Baby, Since I've Been Loving You, I'm about to lose, I'm about lose to my worried mind.

    I can't believe you'd do that to me
    Use me
    You've fooled around and a'wrecked my heart
    She's just a skank rode hard and put up
    Well, good luck

    I would've given you the finger on my left hand
    The one that you use for a wedding band

    But now I'm givin' you
    The one in the middle
    The one that's a little bit longer
    And I got another one
    On my other hand
    So I can say it even stronger
    If you're askin' if I'm done
    Well, I'm sure not sayin' you're number one
    No, now I'm givin' you
    The one in the middle
    The one that says we're through

    I hope you're happy with your sad life
    That's right
    I hope you get what you deserve
    And when you're tired of TV dinners
    Remember

    I would've given you the finger on my left hand
    The one that you use for a wedding band

    But now I'm givin' you
    The one in the middle
    The one that's a little bit longer
    And I got another one
    On my other hand
    So I can say it even stronger
    If you're askin' if I'm done
    Well, I'm sure not sayin' you're number one

    Well, you made your bed
    So go lay in it
    And you forced my heart and hands
    To the limit

    [Spoken]
    Ah, yeah, I've had it with you, darlin'
    That's right

    And now I'm givin' you
    The one in the middle
    The one that's a little bit longer
    And I got another one
    On my other hand
    So I can say it even stronger
    If you're askin' if I'm done
    Well, I'm sure not sayin' you're number one
    No, now I'm givin' you
    The one in the middle
    The one that says we're through

    [Spoken]
    Oh, yeah, read between the lines, baby
    Um, hmm

    On Saturday - The Clarks

    I'm gonna quit cause it's getting old
    And it'll save my life or so I've been told

    You see I got this thing that I like to do
    But it seems to get between me and you
    You won't understand if you gotta ask why
    But if it's what you want I guess I'll try

    We're breaking up, you're moving out, on Saturday
    I'm losing friends, I'm losing face, I'm losing weight
    So get your things out of my place on Saturday
    On Saturday, on Saturday, on Saturday

    Not Anti-Love its more masochistic love that you need to get away from


    Christina Aguilera - Walk Away

    What do you do when you know something's bad for you
    And you still can't let go?

    I was naive
    Your love was like candy
    Artificially sweet
    I was deceived by the wrapping

    Got caught in your web
    And I learned how to bleed
    I was prey in your bed
    And devoured completely

    And it hurts my soul
    Cause I can't let go
    All these walls are caving in
    I can't stop my suffering
    I hate to show that I've lost control
    Cause I, I keep going right back
    To the one thing that I need to walk away from

    I need to get away from ya
    I need to walk away from ya
    Get away, walk away, walk away

    I should have known
    I was used for amusement
    Couldn't see through the smoke
    It was all an illusion

    Now I've been licking my wounds (licking my wounds)
    But the venom seeps deeper(deeper, deeper)
    We both can seduce
    but darling you hold me prisoner (prisoner)

    I'm about to break
    I can't stop this ache
    I'm addicted to your allure
    And I'm fiendin' for a cure
    Every step I take
    Leads to one mistake
    I keep going right back
    To the one thing that I need

    I can't mend
    This torn state I'm in
    Getting nothing in return
    What did I do to deserve
    The pain of this slow burn
    And everywhere I turn
    I keep going right back
    To the one thing that I need to walk away from

    I need to get away from ya
    I need to walk away from ya

    Every time I try to grasp for air
    I get smothered in despair, it's never over, over
    Seems I'll never wake from this nightmare,
    I let out a silent prayer
    Let it be over, over

    Inside I'm screaming
    Begging, pleading
    No more

    I don't know what to do
    My heart has been bruised
    So sad but it's true
    Each beat reminds me of you

    It hurts my soul
    Cause I can't let go
    All these walls are caving in
    I can't stop my suffering
    I hate to show that I've lost control
    Cause I
    I keep going right back
    To the one thing that I need, oh

    I'm about to break
    And I can't stop this ache
    I'm addicted to your allure
    And I'm fiendin' for a cure
    Every step I take
    Leads to one mistake
    I keep going right back
    To the one thing that I need, Oh

    I can't mend
    This torn state I'm in
    Getting nothing in return
    What did I do to deserve
    The pain of this moment
    And everywhere I turn
    I keep going right back
    To the one thing that I need to walk away from

    I say
    I need to get away from ya
    I need to walk away from ya
    Get away, walk away, walk away

    Only thing I need to do is walk away

    I need to get away from ya
    I need to walk away from ya
    Get away, walk away, walk away

    I need to get away from ya
    I need to walk away from ya
    Get away, walk away, walk away

    I need to get away from ya
    I need to walk away from ya
    Get away, walk away, walk away

    How could I forget:

    Cee Lo Green

    I see you driving 'round town
    With the girl i love and i'm like,
    "Forget" you!
    Oo, oo, ooo
    I guess the change in my pocket
    Wasn't enough i'm like,
    "Forget" you!
    And "Forget" her too!

    The problem is all inside your head", she said to me
    The answer is easy if you take it logically
    I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
    There must be fifty ways to leave your lover

    She said it's really not my habit to intrude
    Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
    But I'll repeat myself, at the risk of being crude
    There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
    Fifty ways to leave your lover

    You just slip out the back, Jack
    Make a new plan, Stan
    You don't need to be coy, Roy
    Just get yourself free
    Hop on the bus, Gus
    You don't need to discuss much
    Just drop off the key, Lee
    And get yourself free

    Ooo slip out the back, Jack
    Make a new plan, Stan
    You don't need to be coy, Roy
    Just listen to me
    Hop on the bus, Gus
    You don't need to discuss much
    Just drop off the key, Lee
    And get yourself free

    She said it grieves me so to see you in such pain
    I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again
    I said I appreciate that and would you please explain
    About the fifty ways

    She said why don't we both just sleep on it tonight
    And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light
    And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right
    There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
    Fifty ways to leave your lover

    You just slip out the back, Jack
    Make a new plan, Stan
    You don't need to be coy, Roy
    Just get yourself free
    Hop on the bus, Gus
    You don't need to discuss much
    Just drop off the key, Lee
    And get yourself free

    Slip out the back, Jack
    Make a new plan, Stan
    You don't need to be coy, Roy
    Just listen to me
    Hop on the bus, Gus
    You don't need to discuss much
    Just drop off the key, Lee
    And get yourself free

    Gonzo reminded me of the recent Train song - Ways to Say Goodbye (which I think was inspired by the movie Happy Gilmore, but that is pure speculation and has no basis in anything)

    "That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say

    She went down in an airplane
    Fried getting suntanned
    Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand
    Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
    She met a shark under water
    Fell and no one caught her
    I returned everything I ever bought her
    Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
    And ways to say you died"

    Julia Roberts - Unlove Me

    Unloose this hold you've got on me
    Unlock this heart that can't get free
    Unlive the night you kissed and hugged me
    Undream the dreams that we both shared
    Unfeel the feelin' that you cared
    Before you leave me, please unlove me
    Unlove me
    Unmake all the memories I can't forget
    Unlove me
    Let me go back to the way I was before we met
    Back to the days when I was strong
    When it wasn't sad to be alone
    When I was happy-go-lucky
    And I didn't know how good it felt
    To hold you and feel my heart melt
    Show me a little mercy and unlove me
    Unlove me
    Untie all the strings between your heart and mine
    Unlove me
    But do it real slow, so I don't have to lose you all at one time
    Before you pack your bags and leave
    One thing I wish you'd do for me
    Take a little time to just unlove me
    Unlove me
    Unmake all the memories I can't forget
    Unlove me
    Let me go back to the way I was before we met
    Unlose this hold you've got on me
    Unlock this heart that can't get free
    Before you leave me, please unlove me
    Show a little mercy and unlove me

    FOREIGNER "Cold As Ice"

    You're as cold as ice
    You're willing to sacrifice our love

    Cake: "Sick of You"

    m so sick of you
    I'm so sick of me
    I don't want to be with you


    LOL

    PS to kids of the 90s like me: CAKE definitely holds up. So good still.
