10 Songs To Celebrate Your Freedom After A Break Up
8. Gives You Hell - The All-American Rejects
Even the best of us have wished the worst on those who broke our hearts. When someone hurts you, it’s natural to wish them just a little bit of unhappiness - even just to make up for the sadness they made us feel. In Gives You Hell, the All-American Rejects wish that this person who made their life a living hell just, well, goes through hell.
In their classic emo-pop style, the All-American Rejects deliver an irresistible sing-a-long chorus along with snarky, tongue-in-cheek lyrics that are sure to put a smile on your face. We learn that this heartbreaker wished for a ”picket fence” and ”shiny car” but never achieved what they set out to. Meanwhile our protagonist wakes up ”with a big smile on my face”.
If may be petty to wish bad things on your ex but it’s hard to deny that smug satisfaction. Even if your ex is just fine, just singing along to this song will make you feel instantly better.
