    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

    "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

    Linkin Park-My December

    This is my December
    This is my time of the year
    This is my December
    This is all so clear

    This is my December
    This is my snow covered home
    This is my December
    This is me alone

    And I
    Just wish that I didn't feel
    Like there was something I missed
    And I
    Take back all the things I said
    To make you feel like that
    And I
    Just wish that I didn't feel
    Like there was something I missed
    And I
    Take back all the things I said to you

    And I give it all away
    Just to have somewhere to go to
    Give it all away
    To have someone to come home to

    This is my December
    These are my snow covered dreams
    This is me pretending
    This is all I need

    And I
    Just wish that I didn't feel
    Like there was something I missed
    And I
    Take back all the things I said
    To make you feel like that
    And I
    Just wish that I didn't feel
    Like there was something I missed
    And I
    Take back all the things I said to you

    And I give it all away
    Just to have somewhere to go to
    Give it all away
    To have someone to come home to

    This is my December
    This is my time of the year
    This is my December
    This is all so clear

    And I give it all away
    Just to have somewhere to go to
    Give it all away
    To have someone to come home to

    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

    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.

    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.
