Thread: The saddest song lyrics

for me is from ABBA`s Winner takes it all

But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone

Cars - Drive Lyrics

"Who's gonna tell you when,
It's too late,
Who's gonna tell you things,
Aren't so great.


You cant go on, thinkin',
Nothings'
wrong, but bye,
Who's gonna drive you home,
tonight.?

Who's gonna pick you up,
When
You fall?
Who's gonna hang it up,
When you
call?

Who's gonna pay attention,
To your
dreams?
And who's gonna plug their ears,
When
you scream?"

Was played at my friend's funeral - still makes me cry when I listen

"Never Is A Long Time"

You build it up and tear it down,
there's no reason to follow you.
You left the song without a sound,
you left the story I made for you.
Softly angels bow and cry in the stillness of the night.

Never is a long time - goodbye.
No answers for the asking.
It's a long time - goodbye.
No mercy for the aching.
It's a long time - oh I see no light on the forsaken.
Never is a long time - goodbye.
Let's spend the night when this dream has come to an end.

Sometimes you laugh,
sometimes you cry, and yes,
I've cried over you.
You've left me blind in paradise.
You've left me hungering for the touch of you.
Snow white angels run and hide in the blackness of the night.

Never is a long time...

i always get a lump in my throat too, its just been on now on bliss channel on sky,

I don't wanna talk about it - Rod Stewart

I can tell by your eyes that you've probably been crying forever,
and the stars in the sky don't mean nothing, to you, they're a mirror.
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart.
But if I stay here just a little bit longer,
if I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?

If I stand all alone, will the shadow hide the color of my heart-
blue for the tears, black for the night's fears.
the stars in the sky don't mean nothing, to you, they're a mirror.
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart.
But if I stay here just a little bit longer,
if I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, my heart? My heart, whoa, heart.

I don't want to talk about it, how you broke this old heart.
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
if I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart? My heart, whoa, heart.

With ya on that one Karion, sniff sniff

Radio Head
CREEP

When you were here before
Couldnt look you in the eye
Youre just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
Youre so ****in special

But Im a creep, Im a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I dont belong here.

I dont care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When Im not around
Youre so ****in special
I wish I was special

But Im a creep, Im a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I dont belong here.

Shes running out again,
Shes running out
Shes run run run running out...

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
Youre so ****in special
I wish I was special...

But Im a creep, Im a weirdo,
What the hell am I doing here?
I dont belong here.
I dont belong here.

It's not so much the words but the way it's sung like the version by Abney Park

I love CREEP!! Such a fantastic song!!!!

And Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton which he wrote in memory of his son who died, aged 4.

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?

I'll find my way
Through night and day,
'Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven.

Time can bring you down,
Time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart,
Have you begging please, begging please.

Beyond the door,
There's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven.

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?

I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.

OMG. who started this thread?

Oh blimey - yes, that is SUCH a sad song!!!

Right I'm going to start a happy song thread before I start blubbing lol

This song although sad actually brought me some comfort when my Uncle Barry died last year its from the soundtrack City of Angels which is one of my favourite films
Angel
Sarah McLachlan
Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
And the storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lie
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference
Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

City of Angels!! I was so not ready for that ending
