Top 5 Angsty White Boy Breakup Songs

5) OMD - "If You Leave"*
4) Fuel - "Hemmorhage (In My Hands)"
3) Billy Idol - "Eyes Without A Face"
2) 30 Seconds to Mars - "The Kill"
1) Taking Back Sunday - "Cute Without The E (Cut From The Team)"

*Angsty? No, not really - especially when compared to the rest of the list. But the lyrics fit the description. And considering this song was released in the middle of the synthesizer, bubble gum happy 80s, its about as angsty as its gonna get. Further Listening: Good Charlotte's 2004 cover.

Almost Honorable Mention
The Cure - "Pictures of You" - I'd love to put this song on the list, but at no point and time do the ever rock out. This is just one of those songs you cry to.
New Found Glory - "My Friends Over You" - The motivation is there. The intent is visible. But this song is just a bit too happy. You can't be mopey and smile through the chrous at the same time.
