Recently, I put together this list of Avril's unreleased songs. I sourced all of the songs using sites such as ASCAP, Songfile, BMI, etc. with the exception of a few that weren't on any. Obviously the list is not complete (as it probably never will be) but I figure it could be really useful for future reference, especially for checking if new registered songs were actually registered beforehand. I'd love any help with finding new information or even correcting information I have down as I'm sure there's bound to be some mistakes. Thank you. 
The songs in green have leaked.
The songs in orange have only had their instrumental leaked.
The songs in blue have had a snippet leaked or performed.
The songs in red were given away to other artists with Avril's version remaining unleaked.

Goodbye Lullaby
Candy - Although the exact writers are unknown, it is presumed Avril Lavigne wrote the song with Alex da Kid and Skylar Grey. RCA threatened not to release Goodbye Lullaby unless some "hit" songs were recorded to be singles. In 2010, Lavigne compromised by working with Alex da Kid and posted a video from the studio in which she stated they finished recording her new "hit single". Although not given a name at the time, fans determined the song playing was "Candy" after an instrumental of the song leaked online along with instrumentals for "Gone" and "Complete Me" in July 2011. Lavigne later stated she'd like to include some Alex da Kid session tracks on her fifth album which may of included "Candy", although plans would fall through for this.
Complete Me - Presumed to be self-written, "Complete Me" was one of the three instrumentals that leaked online in July 2011. Avril Lavigne originally stated that she planned to include several Goodbye Lullaby leftovers on her fifth album, although virtually all were scrapped. However, ASCAP lists "Complete Me" as an alternate title to the Avril Lavigne track Hello Heartache meaning it's likely the latter track is a re-worked version of the former. This version is re-written with David Hodges and is very different sonically compared to the leaked instrumental. It's unknown how much the lyrics to the song were altered.
Dancing Crazy - Written by Avril Lavigne, Max Martin and Shellback, the song was likely written to be a single as a compromise in order to release Goodbye Lullaby. The song would later be given to actress and singer Miranda Cosgrove and released as the lead single from her extended play High Maintenance. The song would go on to peak at #100 on the Billboard Hot 100. Registered on ASCAP with the Work ID 882430471.
Fine - In a 2009 interview, Avril Lavigne told Rolling Stone Magazine that she planned to include the song on her then-upcoming fourth album and that the chorus started with the lyrics "when I'm having a bad-hair day, would you tell me you like it that way?".
Gone - Written by Avril Lavigne and Evan Taubenfeld, the song was first mentioned when Taubenfeld stated on a live chat that it was his favorite song on Lavigne's then-upcoming album. Cut from Goodbye Lullaby to make room for Max Martin tracks, Lavigne stated in an interview on The View that she'd like to release the song as a single for her fifth album. The song would later be cut from Lavigne's fifth album possibly due to the instrumental leaking online in July 2011 along with the instrumentals for the songs "Candy" and "Complete Me".
Hello - Writers unknown. According to the store on Avril Lavigne's official website, both a studio and acoustic version of a song titled "Hello" were supposed to be featured on the physical version of the Wish You Were Here deluxe single. Although consumers found that the songs were absent from the disc, being replaced by acoustic versions of the two previous singles, "What the Hell" and "Smile". The tracklisting would then be switched to reflect this with no further mention of Hello.
