In his latest story, "Break Ups: When a Name Becomes a Trigger," Austin Cox eloquently drove home one timeless message: Men ain't shit. In honor of that (mostly facetious) sentiment, here are twelve songs with a "f**k you" message for when you're drunk and in your breakup feels.

12. Billie Eilish - Lost Cause

Thought you had your shit together, but damn, I was wrong

You ain't nothin' but a lost cause

And this ain't nothin' like it once was

I know you think you're such an outlaw

But you got no job

11. Halsey - Without Me

Tell me, how's it feel sittin' up there?

Feeling so high, but too far away to hold me

You know I'm the one who put you up there

Name in the sky, does it ever get lonely?

Thinking you could live without me

10. Aly & AJ - Potential Breakup Song

'Cause without me, you know you're lost

Minus you I'm better off

Soon you will know

You're not livin' 'til you're livin'

Livin' with me

You're not winnin' 'til you're winnin'

Winnin' me

You're not gettin' 'til you're gettin'

Gettin' me

You're not livin' 'til you're livin'

Living for me

9. NF - Lie

Why you playin' with my mind, huh?

Why you playin' with my time, huh?

Told me we should let it go and put it all behind us

That's what I did, now you askin' me what I done, I was

Waitin' for this day, I saw it comin'

I think you just like attention, tryna tell me all your problems

I got issues of my own, I ain't got time for all this drama

You told me that you don't really wanna talk

Then why you callin', huh?

8. Taylor Swift - I Did Something Bad

If a man talks shit, then I owe him nothing

I don't regret it one bit, 'cause he had it comin'

7. Miley Cyrus - East Northumberland High

And if there's some confusion

Let me tell you, you're just delusional, get a clue

'Cause people change, thank God I did

6. Kristinia DeBarge - Goodbye

I don't care if I never see you again

I'll be alright

Take this final piece of advice

And get yourself together

But either way baby, I'm gone

5. Taylor Swift - Mr. Perfectly Fine

Mr. "Never told me why"

Mr. "Never had to see me cry"

Mr. "Insincere apology so he doesn't look like the bad guy"

He goes about his day

Forgets he ever even heard my name

Well, I thought you might be different than the rest, I guess you're all the same

4. Paula Cole - Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?

Where is my John Wayne

Where is my prairie song

Where is my happy ending

Where have all the cowboys gone

3. Halsey - You should be sad

No, you're not half the man you think that you are

And you can't fill the hole inside of you

With money, drugs, and cars

I'm so glad I never ever had a baby with you

'Cause you can't love nothing

Unless there's something in it for you

2. Lizzo - Truth Hurts

Why are men great 'til they gotta be great?

Don't text me, tell it straight to my face

Best friend sat me down in the salon chair

Shampoo press, get you out of my hair

Fresh photos with the bomb lighting

New man on the Minnesota Vikings

Truth hurts, needed something more exciting

Bom bom bi dom bi dum bum bay

1. Olivia Rodrigo - good 4 u

And good for you, it's like you never even met me

Remember when you swore to God I was the only

Person who ever got you

Well, screw that and screw you

You will never have to hurt the way you know that I do

Sending love and positivity Austin's way and to anyone with a broken heart! 💖
