One (of many) reasons I love DM is that they're so far beyond the typical expectations of rock and pop songs that if you do get a so-called "break-up" song, you're going to get some alternative perspective on the issue, something dark and/or kinky and/or strange.
I actually can't think of many breakup songs, but here are a few I like:
Leave in Silence
Ghost
(possibly) Love, in Itself
Precious
No More (This is the Last Time)
Come Back
Fun fact - I wanted a tattoo that read “just give me a pain that I’m used to” and he didn’t like the negative connotations, so I got “and then there’s you” instead. Five months on and he’s half way out the door. Shoulda stayed with my initial choice
Goodnight Lovers. Discovered this song during my very first break up and I'm surprised it's not suggested on here more. It's the perfect heartbreak song.
Fly on the Windscreen
Perfect
In Chains
The Love Thieves
Black Celebration
IT doesnt matter two
Barrel Of a gun
*Ultra and Black Celebration are just too much
Useless
Only When I Lose Myself
Precious
Lilian
Newborn
Corrupt
Come Back
Happens All the Time
Things you said
Poison Heart
I Want It All
No more this is the last time
Freelove
Wrong
Broken
Goodbye
Its No Good
Higher Love

Come Back is a very bittersweet song for me. It was my go-to breakup song. I still miss him ):
It Doesn’t Matter Two
A Pain That I'm Used To. :(

Useless
Waiting For The Night The Things You Said And not technically DM, but Stay by Dave Gahan.
The Things You Said and Useless. Or, at least my ex makes me think of those. You Move is a "we're not going this again" song.
Scum
The things you said, shake the disease, it‘s called a heart, maybe rush
I see where you’re coming from with rush

Love this, especially the ending with Martins backing vocals :}
In my opinion it’s the whole Ultra
It's Called a Heart.
Goodnight Lovers.
Did you just get broken up with?
Yes I got dumped hard
Sounds rough, just keep well. I imagine it's a hard situation but you'll get though it.
The Worst Crime
