This is something I just though off while I was litsening to music, I don't know if it will be any good or not, but oh well, will just have to see. Here is was this is, it's just like "Best Love Song" thread, but except here you will post the songs thay almost make you cry. So let me get this started, I have two songs that make me sad... 01 Chris Cagle - Look at What I've Done I saw it in her eyes when I was sayin’ goodbye That girl, she ain’t gonna be alright ’cause I could tell that she’d be goin’ through a livin’ hell And i, I wouldn’t be there by her side And lord I felt so bad as I sat and watched her cry Thinkin’ I was movin’ on and she was barely gettin’ by Look at what I’ve done to her Look at how I made her feel I gave back her heart the broken part She got the raw end of the deal And look at what it’s done to me You gotta know it tears me up I gave it everything I had and lord It just wasn’t enough Hurtin’ her like this seems so wrong Yeah look at what I’ve done to her Now she’s alone I saw her out last night and she was havin’ a good time That girl, it looks like she’s doin’ fine But then I saw a man walk up and take her by the hand And i, oh God I almost died And then it hit me she didn’t really need me I just sat there for a while until I finally smiled Yeah look at what I’ve done to her Look at how I made her feel She’s found somebody new And look who took the time to heal And look at what it’s done to me Gotta know it tears me up To have walked away from the love we made And just leave it in a cloud of dust And now it’s got me thinkin’ maybe I was wrong After all the things I’ve done to her Now she’s strong And I walked up and said hello She said it’s good to see ya But hey I gotta go And look at what I’ve done to her Look how I made her feel She’s standin’ tall she’s got it all Got the world at her heels And look at what it’s done to me Yeah look at how it makes me hurt If I could go back nowi swear somehow I’d find a way to make it work Ain’t life funny now I’m the one alone Yeah look at what I’ve done to me She’s gone 02 Brad Paisley; Alison Krauss - Whiskey Lullaby She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind Until the night He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger And finally drank away her memory Life is short but this time it was bigger Than the strength he had to get up off his knees We found him with his face down in the pillow With a note that said I'll love her till I die And when we buried him beneath the willow The angels sang a whiskey lullaby The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath She finally drank her pain away a little at a time But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind Until the night She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger And finally drank away his memory Life is short but this time it was bigger Than the strength she had to get up off her knees We found her with her face down in the pillow Clinging to his picture for dear life We laid her next to him beneath the willow While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby
This a sad song for me because it reminds me of my sister, who I almost never see.. She ran away years ago, and a few years ago she called my brother out of the blue and said she was in another state because she was trying to escape her abusive boyfriend. She told us the story, and this song reminds me of it. Eve - Love Is Blind Hey, yo I don't even know you and I hate you See all I know is that my girlfriend used to date you How would you feel if she held you down and raped you? Tried and tried, but she never could escape you She was in love and I'd ask her how? I mean why? What kind of love from a n*gga would black your eye? What kind of love from a n*gga every night make you cry? What kind of love from a n*gga make you wish he would die? I mean sh*t, he bought you things and gave you diamond rings But them things wasn't worth none of the pain that he brings And you stayed, what made you fall for him? That nigga had the power to make you crawl for him I thought you was a doctor be on call for him Smacked you down cause he said you was too tall for him, huh? That wasn't love, babygirl you was dreamin' I could have killed you when you said your seed was growin' from his semen Love is blind, Love is blind And it'll take over your mind What you think is love, is truly not You need to elevate and find I don't even know you and I'd kill you myself You played with her like a doll and put her back on the shelf Wouldn't let her go to school and better herself She had a baby by your ass and you ain't giving no help Uh-huh big time hustler, snake mother f*cker One's born everyday and everyday she was your sucker How could you beat the mother of your kids? How could you tell her that you lover her? Don't give a f*ck if she lives She told me she would leave you, I admit it she did But came back, made up a lie about you missing your kids Sweet kisses, baby ain't even know she was your mistress Had to deal with fist fights and phone calls from your bitches Floss like you possess her, tellin' me to mind my business Said that it was her life and stay the f*ck out of it I tried and said just for him I'll keep a ready clip I don't even know you and I want you dead Don't know the facts but I saw the blood pour from her head See I laid down beside her in the hospital bed And about two hours later, doctors said she was dead Had the nerve to show up at her mother's house the next day To come and pay your respects and help the family pray Even knelt down on one knee and let a tear drop And before you had a chance to get up You heard my gun c0ck (load) Prayin' to me now, I ain't God but I'll pretend I ain't start your life but n*gga I'mma bring it to an end And I did, clear shots and no regrets, never Cops comin' in, look me under the jail N*gga whatever my b*tch, f*ck that, my sister You could never figure out, even if I let you live, What our love was all about I considered her my blood and it don't come no thicker Love is blind, Love is blind And it'll take over your mind What you think is love, is truly not You need to elevate and find
This is a really great song by Seether, I'ts on the Disclaimer II CD, although, if you look around you can probably find the acoustic live performance which is better IMO. Anyway... Love Her: I met a girl who hated the world - she used her body to sell her soul Everytime they'd break her and pay - tear out her heart, and leave her in pain I never found out how she survived all of the sadness she kept inside I never found out how she could lie with a smile on her face, and the scratches she'd hide You could love her if you paid, you could have her everyday You could love her if you prayed, you could have her every way Down on her knees, she wept on the floor - this hopeless life she wanted no more Dead in her mind and cold to the bone - she opened her eyes and saw she was alone She never found out how much I tried - all of the sadness she kept made me blind She never found out how much I cried - the rope so tight on the night that she died... I never found out how she survived - a life lived in lies is a life of denial I never found out how she could lie - with a smile on her face and the darkness inside She never found out how much I cried - the rope so tight on the night that she died...
My Chemical Romance - Demolition Lovers Hand in mine, into your icy blues And then I'd say to you we could take to the highway With this trunk of ammunition too I'd end my days with you in a hail of bullets I'm trying, I'm trying To let you know just how much you mean to me And after all the things we put each other through and I would drive on to the end with you A liquor store or two keeps the gas tank full And I feel like there's nothing left to do But prove myself to you and we'll keep it running But this time, I mean it I'll let you know just how much you mean to me As snow falls on desert sky Until the end of everything I'm trying, I'm trying To let you know how much you mean As days fade, and nights grow And we go cold Until the end, until this pool of blood Until this, I mean this, I mean this Until the end of... I'm trying, I'm trying To let you know how much you mean As days fade, and nights grow And we go cold But this time, we'll show them We'll show them all how much we mean As snow falls on desert sky Until the end of every... All we are, all we are Is bullets I mean this [x4] As lead rains, will pass on through our phantoms Forever, forever Like scarecrows that fuel this flame we're burning Forever, and ever Know how much I want to show you you're the only one Like a bed of roses there's a dozen reasons in this gun And as we're falling down, and in this pool of blood And as we're touching hands, and as we're falling down And in this pool of blood, and as we're falling down I'll see your eyes, and in this pool of blood I'll meet your eyes, I mean this forever
i have so many... Seether feat.Amy Lee-Broken,Evanescence-My Immortal, AFI-This Time Imperfect, No Doubt-Don't Speak(this one the most! it read my mind). Only because after me and my boyfriend broke up i heard all these songs and it reminded me of him...
Radiohead - Creep Katatonia - I am Nothing From Autumn to Ashes - Short Stories with Tragic Endings There's more but I'm having a brain fart. :wth:
"The Remembrance Balled" by Atreyu: These days are closing in The end has become apparent We're only here for so long Will anyone remember my name When time has washed away The dust of our ashes? When my head rests In a velvet-lined casket? What's out there? What is my eternal fate? It only just recently hit me That this life is just a state Mortality fading Like the innocence of love I'm scared to death Of what's to become Of my immortal soul This eternal flame Will you remember? Will your heart sting with pain? Who calls out my name? Who can tell me what happens When my eyes close for the last time? Does it all simply end In a blanket of darkness? What of my soul? What of my soul? All those things you couldn't say You should have said All those I love yous lost Weighed more like lead on your chest All those things you couldn't say You should have said All those I love yous lost Weighed more like lead on your chest What of my immortal soul This eternal flame? Will you remember? Will your heart sting with pain? Who calls out my name? Who can tell me what happens When my eyes close for the last time? Does it all simply end In a blanket of darkness? What of my soul? What of my soul? [guitar solo] If I could take back all those misspent days Every second of anger I would wash my sins away Who calls out my name? Who can tell me what happens When my eyes close for the last time? Does it all simply end In a blanket of darkness? What of my soul? What of my soul? Who calls out my name? Who can tell me what happens When my eyes close for the last time? Does it all simply end In a blanket of darkness? What of my soul? What of my soul? "Autumn's Monologue" by From Autumn To Ashes Why can't I be what you need A new, improved version of me But I'm nothing so good - no, I'm nothing Just bones, a lonely ghost burning down songs Of violence, of love and of sorrow So I beg for just one more tomorrow Where you hold me down, fold me in Deep, deep, deep in the heart of your sins I break in two over you I break in two and each piece of me dies And only you can give the breath of life But you don't see me, you don't Here, I'm in between darkness and light Bleached and blinded by these nights Where I'm tossing and tortured 'til dawn By you, visions of you, then you're gone The shock lifts the red from my face When I hear someone's taken my place How could love be so thoughtless, so cruel When all, all that I did was for you? I break in two over you I break in two and each piece of me dies And only you can give the breath of life But you don't see me, you don't I break in two over you I break in two and each piece of me dies And only you can give the breath of life But you don't see me, you don't I break in two over you I break in two over you, over you I break in two I would break in two for you Now you see me Now you don't Now you need me Now you don't
Rufus Wainwright - Hallelujah I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you She tied you To a kitchen chair She broke your throne, she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Maybe I've been here before I know this room, I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you I've seen your flag on the marble arch love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah There was a time you'd let me know What's real and going on below But now you never show it to me do you? Remember when I moved in you? The holy dark was moving too And every breath we drew was hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Maybe there's a God above And all I ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you It's not a cry you can hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah :'(

Goo Goo Dolls - Name And even though the moment passed me by I still can’t turn away I saw the dreams you never thought you’d lose tossed along the way Letters that you never meant to send lost or thrown away And now we’re grown up orphans that never knew their names Don’t belong to no one that’s a shame You could hide beside me maybe for a while And I won’t tell no one your name I won’t tell em’ your name Scars are souvenirs you never lose , the past is never far Did you lose yourself somewhere out there , did you get to be a star Don’t it make you sad to know that life is more that who we are You grew up way too fast and now there’s nothing to believe And reruns all become our history A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio And I won’t tell no one your name I won’t tell em’ your name I think about you all the time But I don’t need the same it’s lonely where you are come back down, And I won’t tell em your name The Ataris - The Saddest Song Only two more days, until your birthday Yesterday was mine You’ll be turning five I know what it’s like, growing up without your father in your life So I pretend, I’m doing all I can And I hope someday you’ll find it in your heart To understand Why I’m not around And forgive me for not being in your life I remember waiting For you to come Remember waiting For you to call Remember waiting there to find nothing at all I remember waiting For you to come Remember waiting For you to call Waiting there to find nothing at all Maybe someday You really get to know me Not just the letters read to you I pray I get the chance To make it up to you We got a lot of catching up to do So I pretend, I’m doing all I can And hope someday you’ll find it in your heart To understand Why I’m not around And forgive me for not being in your life I remember waiting For you to come Remember waiting For you to call Remember waiting there to find nothing at all I remember waiting For you to come Remember waiting For you to call Waiting there to find nothing at all Forgive me! I’m so sorry! I will make it up to you.... From Autumn To Ashes - Autumn's Monologue Oh why cant I be what you need a new improved version of me but i'm nothing so good no i'm nothing just bones, a lonely ghost burning down songs of violence of love and of sorrow i beg for just one more tomorrow where you hold me down fold me in deep deep deep in the heart of your sins I break in two over you I break in two And each piece of me dies And only you can give the breath of life But you dont see me, you dont... here i'm in between darkness and light bleached and blinded by these nights where im tossing and tortured til dawn by you, visions of you then youre gone the shock lifts the red from my face when i hear someone's taking my place how could love be so thoughtless, so cruel when all, all that i did was for you i break in two over you i break in two and each piece of me dies and only you can give the breath of life but you dont see me you dont.. i break in two over you i break in two and each piece of me dies and only you can give the breath of life but you dont see me you don't... i break in two over you i break in two over you, over you i break in two i would break in two for you now you see me now you don't now you need me now you don't
Two that i can think of currently Muse - Unintended You could be my unintended Choice to live my life extended You could be the one I'll always love You could be the one who listens to my deepest inquisitions You could be the one I'll always love I'll be there as soon as I can But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before First there was the one who challenged All my dreams and all my balance She could never be as good as you You could be my unintended Choice to live my life extended You should be the one I'll always love I'll be there as soon as I can But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before I'll be there as soon as I can But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before Before you Muse - Uno This means nothing to me 'Cause you are nothing to me And it means nothing to me That you blew this away 'Cause you could have been number one If you only found the time And you could have ruled the whole world If you had the chance You could have been number one And you could have ruled the whole world And we could have had so much fun But you blew it away You're still nothing to me And this is nothing to me And you don't know what you've done But I'll give you a clue You could have been number one If you only had the chance And you could have ruled the whole world If you had the time You could have been number one And you could have ruled the whole world And we could have had so much fun But you blew it away You could have been number one And you could have ruled the whole world And we could have had so much fun But you blew it away
Goo Goo Dolls- Name Daphne Loves Derby- The Longest Story Sugarcult- Counting Stars Evanescence- Hello Linkin Park- My December i'm sure I know more...
It's just... such a sad but great song. It made me cry several times. Evanescence - Breathe no more I've been looking in the mirror for so long. That I've come to believe my souls on the other side. Oh the little pieces falling, shatter. Shards of me, To sharp to put back together. To small to matter, But big enough to cut me into so many little pieces. If I try to touch her, And I bleed, I bleed, And I breathe, I breathe no more. Take a breath and I try to draw from my spirits well. Yet again you refuse to drink like a stubborn child. Lie to me, Convince me that I've been sick forever. And all of this, Will make sense when I get better. I know the difference, Between myself and my reflection. I just can't help but to wonder, Which of us do you love. So I bleed, I bleed, And I breathe, I breathe now... Bleed, I bleed, And I breathe, I breathe, I breathe- I breathe no more.
It was some song by Dido , i forgot the name of it but it always used to play on the radio during 1999-2001 .
I think what makes those two very depressing is that they are based on true stories. Sarah McLachlan's Angel is based on her stalker that shot himself in the face with a shotgun out in the woods. He had a wife and a daugher, IIRC. Eric Clapton's Tears In Heaven was based on how he dealth with his son's death. If you don't know, his son fell out a 20 story building, or something like that. The number is off.
