Valentine's Day is just days away, but not everyone will be feeling the love this weekend. That's why we've put together a playlist of the best breakup songs of all time. Turn up the speakers (and maybe grab some Kleenex); it's time to rock out with the Lonely Hearts Club.

Full disclosure: a lot of these songs have curse words in the lyrics. I mean, that's what you do when someone stomps all over your heart. You cuss. It's a part of life--but regardless, I want you to know so you're not blaring these tracks in the office at full volume. I don't want your boss to walk by when Cee Lo drops an F-bomb--the last thing you want is to be broken-hearted AND fired.

I've put all my picks for the Best Breakup Songs in the playlist above, and I've listed them all here, too. What songs would you add to the list?
