Sad Songs Say So Much: The Top Tunes That'll Help Karmy & Co. Cope With All Their ‘Faking It’ Feelings

Whether they're feeling hopelessly heartbroken or entirely enraged, we've got a playlist that's perfect for the gang at Hester High.

Chocolate can temporarily dull the pain of heartbreak, and a girls' or guys' night out can heal at least a little hurt. But the surefire way to completely do away with lost love only takes two ears, a stereo and some tunes that will arm you powerfully enough to sort through it all.

When "Faking It" returns on Tuesday at 10:30/9:30, Hester High will be littered with emotional landmines. Liam will be pissed about Karma's lies, Amy will be torn to shreds over her best friend's rejection and, consequently, Karma will be a shadow of herself when she realizes the two most important people in her life have given her the cold shoulder. In short, it's going to suck for everyone.

And somehow, still, there are bombs that have yet to drop.

So how can Karmy and their pals deal? Below are seven essential songs that can help them on their varying journeys back to solid ground. Take a listen to the Karmy Coping Playlist, tell us which track gets you through hard times and hang tight for the "Faking It" Season 2 premiere!

"With Or Without You," U2

OK, so the Irish rockers aren't the most popular guys on the planet right now, but this song definitely speaks to Karma's struggle to place Amy in her life. BFF? Girlfriend? Nothing at all?

"The Trouble With Love Is," Kelly Clarkson

This ditty by the Breakup Queen is tailor-made for Amy. After agonizing over feelings for her best friend, she learned that the "no risk, no reward" adage doesn't guarantee the latter. Belt the blues away, girl.

"Love The Way You Lie," Eminem ft. Rihanna

Nobody hates liars more than Liam, and if he wants to make it to clear skies and mitigate his Karma-induced rage, he's gotta get through the storm first. This 2010 hit will definitely thrust him into the right head space.

"Don't Know Where I Stand," Joni Mitchell

What were once very clear divisions between friendship and romance have now been grayed for Karma, and there's no telling who will hold which space in her life when daylight comes. You and Joni both, K.

"Lucky," Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat

While many breakup-centric songs are designed to help the love-scorned get over the tough times, this one might offer a bit of hope to pick up the pieces of what's left. Even if a storybook romance isn't in the cards for Amy and Karma, they can still celebrate the love they shared as friends...and who's to say Amy can't still dream of more?

"Since U Been Gone," Kelly Clarkson

Hey, don't blame us for a double-up -- KC's got the heartbreak market cornered. Try playing this song and not shattering a mirror.

"Total Eclipse Of The Heart," Bonnie Tyler

Because no heartbreak-related playlist is complete without it.
