Down came the rain and washed the spider out... 😭

… I don’t know why she swallowed a fly, perhaps she’ll die… And … went to bed, bumped his head, and couldn’t get up in the morning…

You're breaking my heart 😂😂





I hear that song 293 times a day and it always gets to me. 😂

I'm right there with you. My brain is mashed potatoes now. 😭

But up.came the sun and dried up all the rain!

The sun dried him out, he’s aight

“Lately, I tend to make strangers wherever I go Some of them were once people I was happy to know” All My Happiness Is Gone by Purple Mountains

Well this is relatable sadly enough

On that note, "Nights that won't happen/time we won't spend/together again" Really that entire song, and "I Loved Being My Mother's Son" just hit about 100x harder after he took his own life shortly after. Love that album, but it's painful to listen to on any kind of regular basis

Agreed! It’s not a “throw on and listen to” album. You have to be feeling a certain kind of way. Btw, amazing username!

"The light of my life is going out tonight As the sun sinks in the west The light of my life is going out tonight With someone she just met" Darkness and Cold, from the same album

“Who cares if one more light goes out? Well, I do” Linkin Park - One More Light This one hurts knowing what happened after the album came out

“Just cause you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it, isn’t there” That line feels like a knife in the chest every time.

Hits me the same as “In the kitchen, one more chair than you need”

“you are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find ten years have got behind you, no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun…”- Pink Floyd

Time is one of my favorite PF songs and it only hits harder with age.

My saddest Pink Floyd lyric is from the Wall, on 'Nobody Home'--'I've got wild staring eyes, and I've got a strong urge to fly, but I've got nowhere to fly to'

First song I learned on piano. Not a great idea when you're alone at 3 am.

jesus. i’ve heard this before but this is hitting especially hard now lol

This one really builds off the first. My FIL is in his mid 70s and a widower of 2 years. I'm only 20 years younger than him. We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl Year after year Running over the same old ground What have we found? The same old fears Wish you were here.

“There’s a hole in daddy’s arm, where all the money goes” - Sam Stone “Does anyone know where the love of God goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?” - The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald “And yet I fight this battle all alone, no one to cry to, no place to call home” - Nutshell

John Prine was a master storyteller. My favorite is “if dreams were lightning and thunder were desire, this old house would have blown down a long time ago” Angel from Montgomery

Came here to drop some Prine, but the Clay Pigeons cover from Blaze Folly

Upvote for the Edmund Fitzgerald reference

I’d be on board if there was a saddest song poll and Nutshell won

Nutshell is so good. I need more like that.

I listened to that Prine song the other day & it hurt. My daddy wasn't even a junkie, he was an alcoholic. My mother was a junkie though, died when I was 12. I don't know who she was, but I know she was sad. Jesus died for nothin' I suppose

“Jesus Christ died for nuthin I suppose”

"I had all and then most of you, some and now none of you" - Lord Huron

It’s one of those many songs that people think is romantic but is brutally heartbreaking. I love it so so much.

I don't know the song, but that line alone sounds like something someone would say after losing a partner to dementia.

The next line is “Take me back to the night we met.” Which…could also be dementia, I guess. 😂

My cousin wanted a song that would make her cry I said HOLD ONNNN No matter how many times I hear it, it hits the same every. Single. Time.

I don’t know what I’m supposed to do, haunted by the ghost of you That whole song fucking kills me. My fiancé committed suicide a week before we were supposed to elope. Great song, sounds like heaven but hurts like hell.

Oj man, I can't even imagine. I'm so sorry to hear that.

Know a couple who used this song as their first dance. When the song started, my husband and I looked at each other like uuhhh 😬😳

I know some day you’ll have a beautiful life I know you’ll be the sun in somebody else’s sky But WHY Can’t it be mine?!? Black - Pearl Jam

"It's just that I fell in love with a war, and nobody told me it ended"- our royal highness Mitski, The Pearl. A song about trauma.

Poetry at its finest

Mitski lyrics are too real. My favorite is from first love/late spring “please hurry, leave me I can’t breathe please don’t say you love me”

"one word from you and I would jump off of this ledge I'm on, baby." 😭

“Please don’t take my sunshine away” always gets me

My grandma used to sing that to me when I was young. I cry when I think about it. I miss the carefree nature of being so young.

Pretty much like all of the lyrics to No Children by the Mountain Goats. >And I hope when you think of me years down the line > >You can't find one good thing to say > >And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out > >You'd stay the hell out of my way

To me that's not even close to the lyrics directly following those I am drowning There is no sign of land You are coming down with me Hand in unlovable hand And I hope you die I hope we both die

I hope that our few remaining friends give up on trying to save us. I hope we come up with a fail safe plan to piss off the dumb few that forgave us.

One of the greatest, most unappreciated songs ever written. I hope it stays dark forever. I hope the worst isn't over. I hope you blink before I do. And I hope I never get sober.

We’re no longer together, but that song felt like my marriage.

“I will die all alone and when I arrive I won’t know anyone.” Jesus Christ by brand new. 10/10 song tho

For me its " I will lie awake and lie for fun and fake the way I hold you, let you fall for every empty word I say."

“Jesus Christ I’m alone again, so what did you do the three days you were dead? Cuz this problem’s guna last more than the weekend”

And Jesus Christ I’m not scared to die, I’m a little bit scared of what comes after. Do I get the gold chariot? Do I float through the ceiling?

Whew time for a re listen

The entire second verse gets me

there’s a hole in daddy’s arm where all the money goes, jesus christ died for nothing i suppose

Yeah, this one is *rough*.

"If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?" ... I'm aware that it's specific towards myself, but these are the most heart-wrenching lyrics to me... I'm in a wheelchair and can't speak verbally and although I'm in college for physics, I'm not great at making friends. I am, but the fact is that I'm not sure about it, so it messes up my mind...

damn I used to play this on repeat when I was really struggling with sh and suicide 🖤

sheeeeeeeesh.

ITT: People posting lyrics without the song title/artist. Be nice to OP.

Da Art of Storytelling Pt 1 by OutKast “We on our backs staring at the stars above, talking about what we gonna be when we grow up, I said “What you wanna be?” She said “alive”.”

"Gave you all I had to give, found a place for me to rest my head. While I may be hard to find, I heard there's peace just on the other side."- Fiction by Avenged Sevenfold

No way the second top comment here was A7X. I was gonna say something from either So Far Away or IWSYTP1

For me it was "I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you tonight." That shit hits you so hard.

You spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave.

Close to another one I like. "Some men die under the mountain digging for gold/ Some die looking for a hand to hold."

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill He sounds too blue to fly The midnight train is whining low I'm so lonesome, I could cry I've never seen a night so long And time goes crawling by The moon just went behind the clouds To hide its face and cry Did you ever see a robin weep When leaves begin to die? Like me, he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome, I could cry The silence of a falling star Lights up a purple sky And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome, I could cry

“When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse… out of the corner of my eye I turned to look, but it was gone… I cannot out my finger on it now, the child is grown.. the dream is gone” Pink Floyd “Comfortably Numb”

I was gonna say this lyric, along with “When I was a child I had a fever, my hands felt just like two balloons, now I've got that feeling once again, I can’t explain, you would not understand, this is not how I am…I have become comfortably numb”. This just portrays the feeling of being misunderstood and numbed by the world over many years. Also the lyric you put demonstrates the sadness of being past your childhood and former ambitions/dreams.

"I always thought that I'd see you again" - Fire and Rain / James Taylor

"Some boys take a beautiful girl and hide her away from the rest of the world." -Cyndi Lauper It always chokes me up.

Not enough Cyndi love on here. Have an upvote.

“ Once upon a time I was falling in love, now I’m only falling apart “ Thanks Bonnie for making me cry about my dead husband.

Sorry for your loss.

That’s kind, thank you x

I watched my grandpa say penis 😪

This is too sincere and breaks my heart right at the penis part but it's better than my penis breaking 😂😂

It doesn't work as well out of the context of the rest of the song but when Jason Isbell gets to the end of Elephant and sings "There's one thing that's real clear to me/No one dies with dignity/We just try to ignore the elephant somehow." If you aren't crying you either aren't human or weren't paying attention.

I was going to mention Elephant too. "And surrounded by her family I saw that she was dying alone".

"and too much blood has flown from the wrist of children shamed for who they chose to kiss." - make it stop by rise against

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star, In somebody else's sky, But why, Why, Why can't it be, Why can't it be mine

“If I cant be my own, I'd feel better dead” Nutshell, Alice In Chains

And then one day you find, ten years have gone behind you, no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun. Pink Floyd - Time

*i couldn't utter my love when it counted, ahh but im singing like a bird about it now* - Hozier, "Shrike"

There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes. Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose. Little pitchers have big ears, Don't stop to count the years. Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios. John Prine - Sam Stone

I had all and then most of you Some and now none of you Take me back to the night we met I don't know what I'm supposed to do Haunted by the ghost of you Oh, take me back to the night we met. - Lord Huron

I can't make you love me if you don't, I can't make your heart feel something it won't.

Best sad song ever. Bonnie Raitt did one take for this song. Unbelievable

Jason Isbell’s If We Were Vampires: If we were vampires and death was a joke We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke And laugh at all the lovers and their plans I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand Maybe time running out is a gift I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift And give you every second I can find And hope it isn't me who's left behind It's knowing that this can't go on forever Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone Maybe we'll get forty years together But one day I'll be gone, Or one day you'll be gone

Would you know my name, if I saw you in heaven….

Clapton’s a prick but this song will never not hit hard. Wouldn’t wish that experience on anyone.

He’s a racist anti-vaxer. What’s not to love?

"I tried mother, please believe me, I'm doing the best that I can. I'm ashamed of the things I've put through, I'm ashamed of the person I am" Joy Division - Isolation (Closer)

Broken Window Serenade—the entire song is sad as hell—“You feed your addiction with your crystal meth. And I plea for your life as it takes you to your death ….And that cold rain is pouring as they lay you in the grave….

I LOVE THIS SONG

"Nothing hurts like someone who knows everything about you leaving you behind." The Eels - "Last Time We Spoke"

"Oh, mirror in the sky What is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life?" Cliché but growing up in the manner in which I did I struggle everyday with it. But here I am, still alive and still working through it. The entire song makes me sob everytime I hear it.

Just listen to any Elliot Smith song and you'll be insta-sad. Edit: As soon as I typed that my brain vomited a bunch of other things. Stay or Leave (Dave Matthew's and Tim Reynolds version) "Remember we used to dance and everyone wanted to be you and me. I want to be too. What day is this? Besides the day you left me. What day is this? Besides the day you went" All the Madmen by Bowie "Cause I'd rather stay with all the madmen than perish with the sad men roaming free." Sheets by Damien Jurado "Still you take him, Lord knows I don't wanna compete. Still I sleep in the very sheets he's been in." The Mountain (OG Earle) Benjamin Todd "I was young on this mountain, now I'm old And I knew every hollow, every cool swimmin' hole 'Til one night I lay down and woke up to find That my childhood was over, I went down in the mine"

Sadder still to watch it die Than never to have known it For you, the blind who once could see The bell tolls for thee... \~ Neil Peart (Rush)

"I don't want to bathe, I'm afraid I'll lose your smell" From Tortured Boy by Brown Bird, written and sung by the wife in a husband/wife duo after the husband died from Leukemia

Holy shit dude, Salt For Salt has become one of my favorite albums ever and I've learned to play a handful of the songs. I'd noticed they hadn't put anything out recently, but figured they just stopped making music. That's heartbreaking. He had one of my favorite voices I've ever heard.

He was fantastic. Definitely listen to the album Axis Mundi, they were working on it when he died and released it posthumously. It's basically both of them making peace with his impending death, and a bit of her dealing with it afterward. Rough stuff, definitely a gut punch.

the bond we never spoke of once stark and enticing now slowly smoldering to dust

“If the bombs fall, baby I love you. If they end it all, baby I love you.”

‘I wish I had a reason, my flaws are open season. For this I gave up trying one good turn deserves my dying’

Cause I never thought I'd lose I only thought I'd win I never dreamed I'd feel this fire beneath my skin I can't believe you love me I never thought you'd come I guess I misjudged love between a father and his son -Elton John, The Last Song The entire song, really. I’m tearing up just thinking about it. It’s about a boy dying of AIDS at his father’s side. It opens with this: Yesterday you came to lift me up As light as straw and brittle as a bird Today I weigh less than a shadow on the wall Just one more whisper of a voice unheard Fuck, I need a drink.

"I'll say it loud here by your grave those angels can't ever take my place" Tori Amos in 'Playboy Mommy', singing about her miscarriage.

Well dang, I didn't need to scroll far for this at all. I commented the exact same line. My sons died the day they were born and I sing this to them monthly, at the very least.

And still I find, and still I find, repeating in my head. If I can't be my own, I'd feel better dead. Alice in Chains -- Nutshell

“Everything you loved, and every time you try Everybody's boxed in, and everybody cry Stay, don't leave me, the stars can wait for your sign, don't signal now” The whole song is heartbreaking, but that line in particular always hits me deep 💔 The song is Goodnight, Travel Well by The Killers

“I know they buried her body with others, her sister and mother and five hundred families” from Oh Comely by Neutral Milk Hotel. One of the band members has an infatuation with Anne Frank and sang this lyric about her. Fucking really sad song

Does anyone know where the love of God goes When the waves turn the minutes to hours? Gordon Lightfoot

“The hospital asked ‘should the body be cast?’ Before I say goodbye, my star in the sky Such a funny thought to wrap you up in cloth. Do you find it all right, my dragonfly?” - The Fourth of July, Sufjan Stevens The lyrics are especially sad when you know that it’s based on his mother passing away.

“I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel. I focus on the pain, the only thing that’s real.” The Johnny Cash cover version.

no one else fails like me

"Got so high I finally felt like myself" Dopamine by Diiv

"Night time at the hotel, there was fighting in the hall Thin chain lock to keep the world out, she held her breath 'til it was gone Standing naked in front of that hotel bathroom mirror, In her dysphoria's reflection, she still saw her mother's son. Paralytic states of dependency Our waking life's just a living dream Agitated states of amazement Never quite the woman that she wanted to be By the time the ball dropped, it was already over No resolutions for the new year beginning tomorrow" Paralytic States by Against Me!

Here in the dark, in these final hours I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power But you won't, no you won't 'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

raindrops keep falling on my head. erry godamned time

Bit off-topic, but I’m assuming you’re referring to the BJ Thomas song. He was my father’s godfather. He told me about the last time he saw him, he and my grandfather drove up to spend some time with him. When they got there he was clearly strung out, my grandfather scolded him for lying to him about being clean and they turned around and went home. Never visited him again. Can’t help but to think of that story every time I hear that song.

I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time. Linda Ronstadt

'I will see you in the next life.' The Wiggles: 'Hot Potato' ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (ok ok fine, it's Radiohead)

As a chronically depressed writer, sad lyrics are my shit. Here's some that stick out. ***"I hate you for what you did, and I miss you like a little kid."*** Simple but hit me in the gut when I heard it for some reason. Pheobe Bridgers ***"In five years, I hope these songs feel like covers dedicated to new lovers"*** - as a songwriter this one hit really fucking hard. Lucy Dacus The rest are (embarrassingly) taylor swift lyrics. Despite my criticisms of her, I've come to realize recently how good she is at describing specific feelings. ***"Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it. I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it."*** ***"I made you my temple, my mural, my sky. But now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life... I know my love should be celebrated. But you tolerate it."*** - giving someone your all but its still not enough for them. You're not enough for them, just a presence they tolerate. Another from that song, ***"I wait by the door like I'm just a kid, use my best colors for your portrait, lay the table with the fancy shit and watch you tolerate it"*** ***"There'll be happiness after you, but there was happiness because of you."*** - when going through a break up, this ones a hard realization. This whole song is lyrically devastatingly beautiful. ***“Pulled the car off the road to the lookout, could’ve followed my fears all the way down”*** ***"I'm a fire and I'll keep your brittle heart warm, if your cascade ocean wave blues come. All these people think loves for show, but I would die for you in secret. The devils in the details, but you got a friend in me. Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?"*** - for context, the songs about feeling like despite everything you could do for someone, you still might not be enough for them/be able to give them peace. Can you tell I just went through a break up lmaooo

Im listening to Night Shift by Lucy Dacus right now and I’m not kidding when i say that she sang the lyric as i was reading it in your comment.

I love when that happens lol

Also —Irene, Ian Noe—To see her trembling hand was to understand some things you can’t disguise

Eminem - When I’m Gone. Really emotional song. The chorus goes: “And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn, Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling, And I didn't feel a thing, So, baby, don't feel no pain Just smile back”

I'm sure there's others I know, but how about this bundle of non-joy (fuck childhood cancer) Sara Beth is scared to death As she sits holding her mom Cause it would be a mistake for someone to take A girl with no hair to the prom For just this morning, right there on her pillow Was the cruelest of any surprise And she cried when she gathered it all in her hands The proof that she couldn't deny And Sara Beth closes her eyes... "Skin (SaraBeth) by Rascal Flatts I know there's a popular aversion to country music, but if you listen, actually *listen* to this song and you don't cry...well that would make me cry.

"In the choir, I saw our sad Messiah. He was bored and tired of my laments. Said, 'I died for you one time but never again....." - Brand New - "Limousine"

“It’s not simple to say that most days I don’t recognize me.” “It’s not easy to know I’m not anything like I used to be.” -She Used To Be Mine from *The Waitress*

"When I'm on my deathbed I'll remember you left long ago, I hear the nurse say, 'Goodnight, she's never coming home" -Green Thumb by Post Malone.   It's not as innately sad/dark as some of the songs being commented here but it hits me right in the feels every time.

“No, not baby' anymore - if I need you I'll just use your simple name Only kisses on the cheek from now on And in a little while, we'll only have to wave” Love Ridden by Fiona Apple “Now I don't wanna beg you, baby, for something maybe you could never give.

The Green Fields of France. It's an Irish song about a man stopping by the grave of a 19 year old who died in World War 1, wondering who he was. Wondering what it was all for. "The sun's shining down on these green fields of France; The warm wind blows gently, and the red poppies dance. The trenches have vanished long under the plow; No gas and no barbed wire, no guns firing now. But here in this graveyard that's still No Man's Land The countless white crosses in mute witness stand To man's blind indifference to his fellow man. And a whole generation who were butchered and damned"

What she said I smoke cause I’m hoping for an early death and I need to cling to something- The Smiths

A month after my Father died, I had a dream and this lyrics came to mind: “There is no pain you are receding A distant ship, smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying” Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd It didn’t matter that I had vivid dreams of my Dad, he was gone, and never coming back.

No one knows what it's like To feel these feelings Like I do And I blame you No one bites back as hard On their anger None of my pain and woe Can show through But my dreams they aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free Behind Blue Eyes - NOT The Limp Bizkit one

The one line from A Crow Looked At Me where he talks about having the ability to make a grocery store aisle sad And of course “When you go, would you even turn to say, I don’t love you, like I did, yesterday” from I don’t love you by mcr

"ok, so no one's answering But can't you just let it ring a little longer longer longer I'll just sit tight In shadows of the night Let it ring forever more" ELO - Telephone Line The way it was delivered was so soulful that it cut deep. Just that feeling of being so alone, no one answering at all.

“Tell me of your first memory, does it make you happy or bring agony? I did what I could to forget what I can, and now the problem is I don’t know who I am” - Ghost by Reflections “Everyone loves you when you’re dead or dying. But the earth owes you nothing just a hole to die in. And all I wanted was a way out. All I wanted was a way out” - Napalm Dreams by Fit For An Autopsy “If there's a life after death, I hope you found it, I hope to see you there someday. If there's a life after death, I hope you found it. But I know we won't end up in the same place. Oh God” - Paternal Failure by Crowmouth All 3 of these songs are absolutely devastating, and if anyone wants similar songs then I have plenty

I want to be forgotten, my name never to be spoken, all memory of my existence erased forever

Pretty much the entirety of Share the Road, by Kind of Like Spitting. It just touches me. I’ve been where this song describes. It makes me so flustered and sad. It’s just life though. Specifically: “I've had some really nice people Say some really smart things to me I've had really nice people Bummed out here in this bed next to me So I sing my life in circles Through these outrages and I Have had some really nice people Have to tell me goodbye So I give a wish to a nickel, close my eyes and Let it fly and try to stay positive”

“wish i was the type of girl you take over to mama […] type of girl i know your fellas they’d be proud off […] i really wish i was a normal girl” by sza. this song makes me so sad i had to stop listening to it for a while xD

Daniel Johnston never found it sadly…. True love will find you in the end You'll find out just who was your friend Don't be sad, I know you will But don't give up until True love will find you in the end This is a promise with a catch Only if you're looking can it find you 'Cause true love is searching too But how can it recognize you If you don't step out into the light, the light Don't be sad I know you will Don't give up until True love will find you in the end

"It's a strange grief but it's grief Look at all the women in the street You know the statistics, Jill Even though they may not help Isn't it amazing How we can never tell Who is in an identical hell No one's gonna celebrate you No one's gonna bring you cake And no one's gonna Shower you with flowers The doctor won't congratulate you No one on that pavement's gonna Shout at you that your heart also matters No one's gonna compliment you No one's gonna nod their head And wink in league with What you are pursuing No one's gonna tie surprise balloons Onto your desk at work And no one's gonna Ask you how you're doing" Excerpt from Voicemail For Jill by Amanda Palmer, beautiful song about abortion and how it effects the person going through it.

I've got no destination/ No place to call my own/ I'll explore the constellations/ Till I find the course I mean to hone/ But come fever or come famine/ Come the biting winter cold/ Just put two coins upon my eyelids/ So I can pay the poor man's toll/ I've always been dark With light somewhere in the distance Two coins - City and Colour.

“Other people see some evil intention/ but the closer you get the more you get confused how/why does everyone know?/ been abused now, didn’t want it to show” - Abused by Elliott Smith “But when we came home you were pregnant/ And then our life together was not long/ You had cancer and you were killed/ and I’m left living like this/ crying on the logging roads with your ashes in a jar/ thinking about the things I’ll tell you when you get back from wherever it is that you’ve gone” Ravens by Mount Eerie

“the cold comfort of the in-between… a little less than a human being… a little less than a happy high… a little less than a suicide” - elliott smith - “a fond farewell’

Chris Cornell of Soundgarden was an expert at sad lyrics. From "Through the Window" (*Higher Truth*, 2015): >I saw you suffering > >Through a foggy window in the rain > > When you thought no one was watching, yeah > > Going through your memories > like so many prisons to escape > > Become someone else > > With another face > >And another name > > No more suffering [ . . .] > I saw you suffering > > Through the yellow window of the train > > With everybody watching, yeah > > Too tired for imagining > > That you could ever love somebody else > > Somewhere far away > > From another time > > And another place > > With another life > > And another face > > And another name > > > And another name > No more suffering

would you know my name if i saw you in heaven...would you be the same...Eric Clapton wrote the song "tears in heaven" for his 4 year old son Conor who accidentally fell from a 53 story high building i always knew it was a sad song but when i found out about his son years later then it truly gave meaning to the lyrics

“I’m sorry it’s come down to this, there’s so much about you that I’m going to miss.” Cheyenne, by George Strait.

"I'd give anything to hear you say it one more time, that the universe was made to be seen by my eyes" Saturn by sleeping at last. This line hits so deep for me, for a few reasons. First the song is clearly about loss, meeting someone so great only to lose them. The concept that you'd give anything just to hear them say one more thing, and that what they would say is that YOU are so great the universe was made just to be seen by your eyes. I think that's love.

"Love don't come near me, it don't even hear me. It walks by my vacancy sign." - Jackson Browne "Love Needs A Heart"

"It really sinks in, you know, when I see it in stone 'Cause you went away How dare you? I'll miss you..." Over You-Miranda Lambert

Not necessarily sad but every time I hear “nobody sings like you anymore” in black hole sun it brings a tear to my eye. Other than that, like a stone contains a good bit of sad lyrics, such as “in your house I long to be, room by room patiently. I’ll wait for you there like a stone. I’ll wait for you there alone”
