Saddest Song Lyrics

[cj3]

Spinning off only because I saw a couple being in tv/film thread and realized this can go miles

I will start. Its recent but one line currently is hitting me Ala 2017

"She Don't Wanna Marry Me"

[Larryhausen]

"If you want your freedom
There is nothing planned
If you really need him
I will understand"

[Raskovnik]

Lonesome Crowded West is to this day difficult to listen to for me because there was a point in my life where I was flat out living basically the whole damn album. Polar Opposites and Bankrupt on Selling have always been a one-two punch for me, though.

“I am trying to drink away the part of the day that I cannot sleep away” from the former and the entire last verse of the latter always hit particularly hard.

“And it took a long time till I came clean with myself
I come clean out of love with my lover
I still love her
Loved her more
When she used to be sober and I was kinder”

[karl100589]

Pray God you can cope
I'll stand outside
This woman's worth
This woman's world
Oh it's hard on a man
Now his part is over
Now starts the craft of the father
I know you've got a little life in you left
I know you've got a lotta strength left
I know you've got a little life in you left
I know you've got a lotta strength left

I should be cryin' but I just can't let it show
I should be hopin' but I can't stop thinkin'
All the things we should've said that are never said
All the things we should've done that we never did
All the things we should've given, but I didn't
Oh darlin', make it go
Make it go away

Give me these moments
Give them back to me
Give me your little kiss
Give me your...
Give me your hand baby
(I know you've got a lotta strength)
Give me your pretty hand
(I know you've got a little life in you left)
Ooo show me you understand
(I know you've got a lotta strength left)
Your lovechild
(I know you've got a little life in you left)
Whatever you need baby
(I know you've got a lotta strength left)
Give me your hand
(I know you've got a little life in you left)
Give me your love
(I know you've got a lotta strength left)

I should be cryin' but I just can't let it show baby
I should be hopin' but I can't stop thinkin
All the things we should've said that we never said
All the things we should've done that we never did
All the things that you wanted from me
All the things that you needed from me
All the things we should've given, but I didn't
Oh darlin', make it go away now,
Just make it go away.

[Hurbster]

"Nobody's Hero" - Rush

[Limity (BLM)]

Oh man I've got a thing for sad, forlorn songs. I have a YouTube Playlist called "Sorrow Is Pleasure When You Want It Instead"

Cold Cold Ground by Tom Waits
How It Ends by Devotchka
Not Dark Yet by Bob Dylan
Into Dust by Mazzy Star
Out Of Sand by Eddie Vedder
Hurt by NIN

And a few others. As to specifically sad lyrics, it's hard to top Hurt. In particular, as I get older, "You are someone else/I am still right here"

[Deleted]

The Kiss song Hard Luck Woman:

"If not for our first hello, we'd never have to say goodbye."

[Flo360]

Jason Isbell - Elephant. All of it!

[JIMBOB]

Hymn For the Missing by Red

[DiBiase is Good]

When no hope was left inside on that starry, starry night, you took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

[Perd]

I have a few candidates. But I’ll go with this one from “The Lamb” by Claire Cronin:

My god is calm and decisionless
And he breaks my back in deliverance

[Deleted]

One of these days the ground will drop out from beneath your feet
One of these days your heart will stop and play it's final beat
One of these days the clocks will stop and time won't mean a thing
One of these days their bombs will drop and silence everything

[Deleted]

All of My Immortal by Evanescense

[Magnus the Magnificent]

Once I dreamed
Love would come and sweep me up away
Now It seems life's passed me by
I'm still alone today
Here come the tears

Looks like
Things will always be the same
Noone here to comfort me
Here come the tears

[El Cokehead del Knife Fight]

Oh you want the Saddest Song Lyrics?

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}It doesn't really matter if you lead or follow
Everybody's laughing like there's no tomorrow and even if there was
Would you still go following your friends?
I don't know where we went wrong, we're still singing those same sad songs
"It's my life, not your life, I'll end it when I want"

And now I'm off to save the world once again
But I don't know how I'll pull it off this time
I think I'm going to drown
Now he's off to save the world once again
But he don't know how he'll pull it off this time
I just know I'm going to drown

And it's the saddest song you'll ever hear
The most pain you will ever feel
But you grit your teeth because it don't get better than this (know this)
And you'll try to explain as the blood leaves all your veins
And you can't think of anything that you would change

Stop!
"Look and you will see" is what I think she said to me
I'm not too sure because it could have easily been a million things
But I don't know what she said
I still don't know what she said
It's been years since I've seen her face, 14 years were just erased
If my life was your life, would you ever take it back?

And now I'm off to save the world once again
But I don't know how I'll pull it off this time
I think I'm going to drown
Now he's off to save the world once again
But he don't know how he'll pull it off this time
I just know I'm going to drown

Yeah you will try to explain as the blood leaves all your veins
And you can't think of anything that you would change

And it's the saddest song you'll ever hear
The most pain you will ever feel
But you grit your teeth because it don't get better than this (know this)
And you'll try to explain as the blood leaves all your veins
And you can't think of anything that you would change

There's the Saddest Song by Streetlight Manifesto.




Okay, not being a dumbass now.



And when you wake up
Everything is gonna be fine
Guarantee that you wake in a better place, in a better time
So you're tired of living feel like you might give in
Well don't
It's not your time

Annie said she wouldn't mind
If they never find a cure to all her problems (her problems) problems
And she said, as long as she has someone near to make it clear
She doesn't need to solve them (solve them) solve them
Annie said, "Oh, this loneliness is killing me
It's filling me with anger and resentment (resentment) resentment
And she said, "I'm turning into someone that I never thought I'd have to be again"

[Hit Girl]

Said I loved you.




But I lied.

[Rave]

You were a phonograph, I was a kid
I sat with an ear close, just listening
I was there when the rain tapped her way down your face
You were a miracle, I was just holding your space

Well time has a way of throwing it all in your face
The past, she is haunted, the future is laced;
Heartbreak, you know, drives a big black car
Swear I was in the back seat, just minding my own

And through the glass, the corn crows come like rain
They won't stay, they won't stay
For too long now

This could be all that we know
Of love and all

Well you were a dancer and I was a rag
The song in my head, well, was all that I had
Hope was a letter I never could send
Love was a country we couldn't defend

And through the carnival we watch them go round and round
All we knew of home was just a sunset and some clowns

Well you were a magazine, I was a plain Jane
Just walking the sidewalks all covered in rain
Love to just get into some of your stories
Me and all of my plain Jane glory
Just me and all of my plain Jane glory

[aka Cthulhu]

Dogs, dammnit.

[Cranjis McBasketball]

Can you give me sanctuary
I must find a place to hide
A place for me to hide
Can you find me soft asylum
I can't make it anymore
The Man is at the door

Soft Parade, the Doors

[Toilet Paper Roll]

It’s incredibly sad, but also maybe the greatest country song of all time


He said "I'll love you till I die",
She told him "You'll forget in time"
As the years went slowly by,
She still preyed upon his mind
He kept her picture on his wall,
Went half-crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all,
Hoping she'd come back again
Kept some letters by his bed
Dated nineteen sixty-two
He had underlined in red
Every single "I love you"
I went to see him just today,
Oh but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away,
First time I'd seen him smile in years
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
You know, she came to see him one last time
Aww, and we all wondered if she would
And it kept runnin' through my mind
"This time he's over her for good"
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
