I don't have a favorite break up song, but I think this is the saddest:
I Can't Make You Love Me - Bonnie Raitt
Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

It Makes No Difference
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
by J.R.Robertson. Album: Northern Lights - Southern Cross
© 1975, 1976 Medicine Hat Music
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
intro
/ / | Bb Gm | Eb F | Bb Eb | Bb |
Eb Dm
It makes no diff'rence where I turn
Gm Gm7/F Cm7
I can't get over you and the flame still burns
Eb Dm
It makes no diff'rence, night or day
Gm Gm7/F Eb F
The shadow never seems to fade away
Bb Gm Eb F Bb Eb Bb
And the sun don't shine anymore
Bb Gm Eb F Bb Eb Bb
And the rains fall down on my door
Bb
Now there's no love
Fm7
As true as the love
Eb C7
That dies untold
Bb Gm Eb F
Bb Eb Bb
But the clouds never hung so low before
Eb Dm
It makes no diff'rence how far I go
Gm Gm7/F Cm7
Like a scar the hurt will always show
Eb Dm
It makes no diff'rence who I meet
Gm Gm7/F
They're just a face in the crowd
Cm7 F
On a dead-end street
Bb Gm Eb F Bb Eb Bb
And the sun don't shine anymore
Bb Gm Eb F Bb Eb Bb
And the rains fall down on my door
Bb
These old love letters
Fm7
Well, I just can't keep
Eb
'Cause like the gambler says
C7
Read 'em and weep
Bb Gm Eb F Bb
Eb Bb
And the dawn don't rescue me no more
F Dm
Without your love I'm nothing at all
Eb Cm 7
Like an empty hall it's a lonely fall
F Dm
Since you've gone it's a losing battle
Eb
Stampeding cattle
Cm7 F
They rattle the walls
Bb Gm Eb F Bb Eb Bb
And the sun don't shine anymore
Bb Gm Eb F Bb Eb Bb
And the rains fall down on my door
Bb
Well, I love you so much
Fm7
It's all I can do
Eb C7
Just to keep myself from telling you
Bb Gm Eb F Bb Eb Bb
That I never felt so alone before
| Eb | Dm | Gm Gm7/F | Cm7
| Eb | Dm | Gm Gm7/F | Eb F
| Bb Gm | Eb F | Bb Eb | Bb |
Bb Gm | Eb F | Bb Eb | Bb |
Bb | Fm7 | Eb | C7 |

This is my favorite:
Missing You
Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here
And you're miles away
And I'm wondering why you left
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time
Thinking about you
And it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone
Away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What I might say
There's a message
In the wild
And I'm sending you
this signal tonight
You don't know
How desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world
I have no meaning
Though I'm trying hard
to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone
Away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What my friends say
And there's a message that I'm sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone
Away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What my friends say
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I keep lying to myself
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone
Away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What my friends say
Ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I keep lying to myself
I ain't missing you
Ain't missing you
Oh no
No matter what my friends might say
I ain't missing you

Why are we discussing this? What did I miss? Cheryl are you and Poky breakin' up? Huh? What gives? 
Anyway here is my contribution....
I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And the struggles we went through
And how I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?
I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
...People filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
The trust and self-assurance that can lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us,
Doesn't keep me warm
I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you, Baby
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
There are people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down and hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; life goes on
You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you inside
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

Unfortunately, I can't recall the lyrics. I do believe the title is:
"Get your tongue out of my throat, I am kissing you good-bye"

I think we're looking for more "kiss off, you loser, I'm better off without your pathetic sorry a**" breakup songs than "boo hoo I am so sad without this jacka*....I mean dear sweet boy" ones!
....hey, I think there's a song in the making up there! Anyone good with writing music? I'll do the lyrics.....

I love Waylon Jennings!
KISSING YOU GOODBYE (Waylon Jennings)
I've learned to turn the other cheek
Is not what love's about
I've turned mine so many times
That i damned near wore 'em out
I've grown used to your abuse
And i thought i'd never quit
But i woke up this morning
Couldn't find my shiv-a-git
Chorus:
You've always liked to play your games
Well i got one for you
Pretend we're playing checkers girl
And it's your time to move
You'll find your suitcase on the porch
And the taxi in the drive
Get your tongue out of my mouth
I'm kissing you goodbye
I see you've finally made it home
You been out all night
Your artificial hair's a mess
And your clothes don't fit you right
I've given and forgiven
Till there ain't nothing left
But all you gave was just enough
To satisfy yourself
Chorus
I can smell that whisky in your hair
And sen-sen on your breath
If you ever tried to tell the truth
You'd choke yourself to death
I don't want your nasty kisses
And don't tell me no more lies
Get your tongue out of my mouth
I'm kissing you goodbye
Get your tongue out of my mouth
I'm kissing you goodbye
