Recently had a big row with a supposed friend of mine don't know if we'll ever speak to each other again, I'm starting to think I'm better off without them. They kept bringing me down, I feel sort of liberated so in a therapeutic way I'd like some songs that say 'I'm free' or 'good riddance to bad rubbish'.
They don't necessarily have to be break up songs.
Any suggestions? :)

    A few songs that come to mind.... not all exactly relating to your situation but they still have the same sort of vibe

    Whitney Houston - It's Not Right but It's Okay
    Anastacia - Why Did You Lie To Me
    Pink - Just Like A Pill
    Beyoncé - Irreplaceable
    Jessie J - Who's Laughing Now?

    You must all be very young but Gloria Gaynor's 'I Will Survive' is a great statement on getting on with life.

    Or Johnny Nash's 'I Can Clearly Now'
    Or Bob Seger's 'Like A Rock'
    Or Tom Petty's 'Free Fallin''

    At times like this you need a bit of 80's LA punk in your life. Try I Don't Care About You by Fear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyM4uAJBujA

    Or you could go a bit further north to Santa Cruz and actually get the band Good Riddance :)

    Positively 4th Street by Dylan. First line is "You've got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend, when I was down you just stood there grinning"...it just gets more vicious and p*ssed off as it goes along!

    One of the best songs ever but I had never given any thought to what it was about until now.

    "I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
    And just for that one moment, I could be you
    Yes, I wish that for just one time, you could stand inside my shoes
    You'd know what a drag it is to see you"

    Roar by Katy Perry is a very recent one!
    "I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath... so I sat quietly, agreed politely"

    Acapella by Karmin! (It's more a relationship break-up song)
    "You and me are through, though, watch me hit it solo, I'mma do it Acapella)

    Tonight I'm Getting Over You by Carly Rae Jepsen! (Another relationship one, but it works)
    It has a really strong, positive energy about moving on in general!

    Turn it Up by Pixie Lott
    "Turn it up, turn it up, for the people who say, we're moving on and we'll be ok!"
    Its a very positive "I'll be ok, it had to happen" type song! :)
