Saddest Lyrics }{ for the "aww" moments

[Audio Pineapple]

So; what are the saddest songs you have in your collection? (Feel free to post them here.)

I'll put four up for now (two Eden White, one Simple Plan, one Yellowcard,) love these songs but they are heavy on the angst lol. All but the second are self-explanatory but the story behind the second one can be found on the album sleeve where it dedicates this song (and part of the album sales) to a help centre in new york for drug addicted mothers and their newborn babies.



Eden White - Song Unsung

Foggy nights are never kind
Icy roads are even less forgiving
Should have watched over you like the prodigal son
But now I’m just a song left unsung

You’re still gone and I’m still waiting
Should have known, should have kept you here with me
God has his way and again he won
And I’m just a song left unsung

If I had one last chance to love you
One last chance to care
One last chance I’d give you everything I should have when I had you
One last memory together we could share
If I had wings I’d meet you there

But I can’t fly, for if I did
I’d give you the sky, for every cloud your every wish
All of my strength went down with the sun
And I’m just a song left unsung

And if I had one last chance to love you
One last chance to care
One last chance I’d give you everything I should have when I had you
One last memory forever we could share
If I had wings I’d meet you…
Oh I’d meet you there

But I’m still here, you’re still gone
Nothing I say could make you come back to me
So I’ll carry on as you would have done
But I’m just a song left unsung

You know I’ll carry on until you come back to me
Carry on, make you come, why don’t you come back
Guess I’ll carry on as you would have done
But I’m just a song left unsung

Oh just think what we could have become
The most beautiful song…




Eden White - Through The Glass

Through the glass you cry
Behind the wall I stand
My only wish is to hold your hand
I won’t hurt you now, this evil thing I’ve done
As long as you win the war that I’ve begun

You’re tiny fingers hold all my heart
Dear God, don’t let them tear us apart

Well I could run away, never to be found
They say you’re best off without me around
I won’t hurt you now, I won’t stand in your way
As long as you break down these walls that I’ve made

You have so much, so much, so much to give
Will you please let her live?

How can she forgive what I’ll never forget?
This life built on regret
Oh and Dear God, how will she understand
What I cannot explain
This life laden with shame

Through the glass you cry
And to the sky I raise my hands
Dear God, right here on your doorstep I stand
Do you know I’m here, do you hear me pray?
Tell me if sorry has knocked too late

If there’s one thing, one thing, one thing to say
Dear God, please don’t take her away



Simple Plan - Untitled

I open my eyes, I try to see but I’m blinded by the white light
I can’t remember how, I can’t why I’m lying here tonight
And I can’t stand the pain and I can’t make it go away
No I can’t stand the pain

How could this happen to me?
I’ve made my mistakes
Got nowhere to run
The night goes on as I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life, I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me?

Everybody’s screaming, I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I’m slipping off the edge, I’m hanging by a thread, I wanna start this over again
So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can’t explain what happened
And I can’t erase the things that I’ve done
No I can’t

How could this happen to me?
I’ve made my mistakes
Got nowhere to run
The night goes on as I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life, I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me?

I’ve made my mistakes
Got nowhere to run
The night goes on as I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life, I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me?



Yellowcard - View From Heaven

I’m just so tired, won’t you sing me to sleep
And fly through my dreams so I can hitch a ride with you tonight
And get away from this place, have a new name and face
I just ain’t the same without you in my life

Late night drives all alone in my car
I can’t help but start singing lines from all our favourite songs
And melodies in the air singing ‘life just ain’t fair’
Sometimes I still just can’t believe you’re gone

And I’m sure the view from heaven beats the hell out of mine here
And if we all believe in heaven maybe we’ll make it through one more year, down here

Feel your fire when it’s cold in my heart
And things sort of start reminding me of my last night with you
I only need one more day, just one more chance to say
‘I wish that I had gone up with you too’

And I’m sure the view from heaven beats the hell out of mine here
And if we all believe in heaven maybe we’ll make it through one more year, down here

You won’t be coming back and I didn’t get to say goodbye
I really wish I’d got to say goodbye

And I’m sure the view from heaven beats the hell out of mine here
And if we all believe in heaven maybe we’ll make it through one more year, down here

I hope it all is well in heaven ‘coz it’s all shot to hell down here
I hope that I find you in heaven ‘coz I’m so lost without you down here

You won’t be coming back and I didn’t get to say goodbye
I really wish I’d got to say goodbye


(I'll stop myself now - I only planned to post two lol. I'm in a 'sad song' mood at the moment so I could be here all nght!)

[soulonfire]

The last ones really sad. =(

Cancer by MCR.Its heart breaking to hear this anytime,but at a show its even more atmospheric and extra sad,Gerard sounds almost on the verge of tears as he sings.

Turn away
If you could get me a drink
Of water cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my Aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me
In all my favorite colors,
My sisters and my brothers, still,
I will not kiss you,
Cause the hardest part of this,
Is leaving you.

Now turn away,
Cause I'm awful just to see
Cause all my hair's abandoned all my body,
Oh my agony,
Know that I will never marry,
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo,
But counting down the days to go.
It just ain't living
And I just hope you know,

That if you say,
Good-bye today,
I'd ask you to be true,
Cause the hardest part of this,
Is leaving you...

Cause the hardest part of this,
Is leaving you...

Also Nans Song by Robbie Williams.I cant stand the man but this song makes so much sense and is something that i can sadly relate to far too well.

You said when you'd die that you'd walk with me every day
And I'd start to cry and say please don't talk that way
With the blink of an eye the Lord came and asked you to leave
You went to a better place but He stole you away from me

And now she lives in heaven
But I know they let her out
To take care of me

There's a strange kind of light
Caressing me tonight
Pray silence my fear she is near
Bringing heaven down here

I miss your love I miss your touch
But I'm feeling you every day
And I can almost hear you say
'You've come a long way baby'

And now you live in heaven
But I know they let you out
To take care of me

There's a strange kind of light
In my bedroom tonight
Pray silence my fear she is near
Bring your heaven down here

You taught me kings and queens
While stroking my hair
In my darkest hour I know you are there
Kneeling down beside me
Whispering my prayer

Yes there's a strange kind of light
Caressing me tonight
Pray silence my fear
She is near
Bringing heaven down here

The next time that we meet
I will bow at her feet
And say wasn't life sweet
Then we'll prepare
To take heaven down there

[Audio Pineapple]

(aww at the nan's song one)

The music to View From Heaven is actually really upbeat compared to the lyrics; is strange.

The lyrics to these two are quite sad (seem to be on a Yellowcard kick! The first one always reminds me of C-Note and his wife)

Yellowcard - Only One

Broken this fragile thing now
And I can’t, I can’t pick up the pieces
And I’ve thrown my words all around
But I can’t, I can’t give you a reason

I feel so broken up
And I give up
I just wanna tell you so you know

Here I go
Scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go
There’s just no one that gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one

Made my mistakes, let you down
And I can’t, I can’t hold on for too long
Ran my whole life in the ground
And I can’t, I can’t get up when you’re gone

Something’s breaking up
I feel like giving up
I won’t walk out until you know

Here I go
Scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go
There’s just no one that gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one

Here I go
So dishonestly
Leave a note, for you my only one
And I know you can see right through me
So let me go and you will find someone

Here I go
Scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go
There’s just no one, no one like you
You are my only, my only one

My only one
My only one
My only one

You are my only, my only one




Yellowcard - Two Weeks From Twenty


Jimmy wasn’t really popular
He had a couple of friends back home
But sooner or later they’re all getting out so he had to join up alone

He was dreaming of the Ivy Leagues since he was only three feet tall
And get the hell out of Jersey and then he would never look back at all

And then hear ‘em say that miles away we lost another one that we sent with a gun
They’re gonna miss him
He was two weeks from twenty
And there’s still no shame from the man to blame

Jimmy never had a reason to stay
‘Coz all the factories shut down
all he had was a line for his name so he could sign away his right to be proud

He tried to kiss her on the way out the door; she just put her little hand on his face
‘I don’t understand why you’re leaving’ she said ‘but I hope you’re gonna ask me to wait’

And then hear ‘em say that miles away we lost another one that we sent with a gun
His lady missed him
He was two weeks from twenty
And there’s still no shame from the man to blame

Jimmy’s mother went to Capitol Hill so she could fill her heart up with joy
Maybe shake a few hands while she’s there and tell ‘em
‘Thank you sir for taking my boy.’

And then hear ‘em say that miles away we lost another one that we sent with a gun
His momma missed him
He was two weeks from twenty
And there’s still no shame from the man to blame

No there’s still no shame
And we’re all to blame
We’re all to blame
We’re all to blame
We’re all to blame
We’re all to blame

(I love political songs!)

[Audio Pineapple]

Kept meaning to put this one up but forgot but I think it is probably one of the top three saddest songs I've heard - if not the top

And Then I Turned Seven - I Miss You

Yesterday was full of tears
Knowing death has just been here
All was lost but not forgot
The pain controls my every thought

A new day’s battle has begun
And all was lost and nothing’s won

I can’t wait to see the day
When the tears all go away

And I miss you
I kissed you when we laid you in your grave
And I need you to believe you
Things are meant to be this way

And today came with shattered dreams
Everything’s not what it seems
Don’t think death won’t come get you
Because it will; life’s misconstrued

And though my battle’s just begun
I’m dropping arms and going to run

I can’t wait to see the day
These painful tears all go away

And I miss you
I kissed you when we laid you in your grave
And I need you to believe you
Things are meant to be this way

And I miss you
I kissed you when we laid you in your grave
And I need you to believe you
Things are meant to be this way

And I did nothing at all
Nothing at all
And it’s all my fault you’re gone

Your face on my wall
Face on my wall
It tells it all; you will live on

And I did nothing at all
Nothing at all
And it’s all my fault you’re gone

Your face on my wall
Face on my wall
It tells it all; you will live on
