Anything Mumford & Sons. Their music is beautiful and has always been there for me.

 

One of my favorites is Holland Road. Probably contains my favorite line in any song (check the signature).

 

Another favorite is

. "You desired my attention, but denied my affection." ...Damn right she did.

'everlong' by foo fighters. it was a song he played for me... back when he couldn't really tell me how he felt. i avoid it as it just hurts so much now.

 

and i heard 'over and out' this morning. and it floored me. think i'll be avoiding this one too...

 

FOO FIGHTERS LYRICS

 

"Over And Out"

 

Restless little one

Comfortable and warm

Let me fall apart

Crippled in your arms

 

Chase me through the dark

Ready on your mark

First to reach the stars

Wins a broken heart

One that broke apart

Shattered from the start

 

Are you there?

Do you read me?

Are you there?

I don't feel you anymore

 

Cages and alarms

Keeping us from harm

I will be the guard

Hope to rest upon

 

Could I be the one

To break a will so strong

Pray it won't be long

Til your will is gone

Everything is done

Nothing left at all

 

Are you there?

Do you read me?

Are you there?

I don't feel you anymore

 

Are you there?

Will you give in?

Are you there?

If I give out

Over and out

 

Cages and alarms

Keeping us from harm

I will be the guard

Hope to rest upon

Everything is done

Nothing left at all

 

Are you there?

Do you read me?

Are you there?

I don't feel you anymore

 

Are you there?

Will you give in?

Are you there?

If I give out

I've got some great new tunes now thanks to this thread! :p Here's a few of my favourite sad songs.

 

"I wish that without me your heart would break

I wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake

I wish that without me you couldn't eat

I wish I was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep

Look, all I know is that you're the nicest thing I've ever seen

And I wish that we could see if we could be something"

 

Christina Perri - A thousand Years.

"How to be brave?

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall

But watching you stand alone

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow"

 

"I love this place

But it's haunted without you

My tired heart

Is beating so slow"

 

"It's a shame that it had to be this way

It's not enough to say I'm sorry

It's not enough to say I'm sorry

Maybe I'm to blame

Or maybe we're the same

But either way I can't breathe

Either way I can't breathe"

 

"And I am here still waiting

Though I still have my doubts

I am damaged at best

Like you've already figured out

I'm falling apart

I'm barley breathing

With a broken heart

That's still beating"

 

"So tonight I'll sit and pick apart your pictures

And overanalyze your words

But the truth is that I've never fallen so hard

It's taking everything in me

Just to forget your sweater so far"

 

:bunny:

A Fine Frenzy - Almost Lover - Video Dailymotion

 

Your fingertips across my skin

The palm trees swaying in the wind, images

You sang me Spanish lullabies

The sweetest sadness in your eyes, clever trick

 

Well, I’d never want to see you unhappy

I thought you’d want the same for me

 

Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

Should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do

 

We walked along a crowded street

You took my hand and danced with me in the shade

And when you left you kissed my lips

You told me you would never ever forget these images, no

Well, I’d never want to see you unhappy

I thought you’d want the same for me

 

Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

Should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do

 

I cannot go to the ocean

I cannot try the streets at night

I cannot wake up in the morning

Without you on my mind

So you're gone and I'm haunted

And I bet you are just fine

Did I make it that easy to walk

Right in and out of my life?

 

Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Why can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

Should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do

Annoyingly, a lot of songs I’ve written and sung myself I now can’t listen to as they’re all about my ex.

 

This song was on the radio the time my ex first left me for a month back in June last year. Its words summed up how I felt exactly…he pulled away as he thought he would be a burden on me due to ill health, and he was going forward in his life alone, when he didn’t need to in my opinion. I refused to let him go.

 

I Won’t Let You Go – James Morrison

 

 

When it's black



Take a little time to hold yourself

Take a little time to feel around before it's gone

You won't let go but you still keep on falling down

Remember how you save me now from all of my wrongs

Yeah

 

If there's love just feel it

And if there's life we'll see it

This is no time to be alone, alone yeah

I won't let you go

 

Say those words

Say those words like there's nothing else

Close your eyes and you might believe

That there is some way out

Yeah

 

Open up

Open up your heart to me now

Let it all come pouring out

There's nothing I can't take

 

And if there's love just feel it

And if there's life we'll see it

This is no time to be alone, alone yeah

I won't let you go

(Won't let you go)

(Won't let you go)

 

If your sky is falling

Just take my hand and hold it

You don't have to be alone, alone yeah

I won't let you go

(Won't let you go)

(Won't let you go)

 

And if you feel the fading of the light

And you're too weak to carry on the fight

And all your friends that you count on have disappeared

I'll be here not gone, forever holding on

 

If there's love just feel it

And if there's life we'll see it

This is no time to be alone, alone yeah

I won't let you go

(Won't let you go)

(Won't let you go)

 

If your sky is falling

Just take my hand and hold it

You don't have to be alone, alone yeah

I won't let you go

(Won't let you go)

(Won't let you go)

 

I won't let you go

I won't let

I won't let you go

No, I won't let

I won't let you go

I won't let you go

 

 

This song describes how I feel now that he’s left me again…

 

Silver Springs – Fleetwood Mac (Stevie Nicks)

 

[COLOR=#800080]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ksmsv4myOmg[/COLOR]

 

[FONT=Times New Roman]You could be my silver springs

Blue green colors flashin'

I would be your only dream

Your shining autumn, ocean crashing

And did you say she was pretty

And did you say that she loves you

Baby, I don't wanna know

 

I'll begin not to love you

Turn around, see me runnin'

I'll say I loved you years ago

Tell myself you never loved me, no

And did you say she was pretty

And did you say that she loves you

Baby, I don't wanna know

Oh, no

And can you tell me was it worth it

Really, I don't wanna know

 

Time casts a spell on you, but you won't forget me

I know I could have loved you, but you would not let me

 

Time casts a spell on you, but you won't forget me

I know I could have loved you, but you would not let me

I'll follow you down til' the sound of my voice will haunt you

You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you

I'll follow you down til' the sound of my voice will haunt you

Was I just a fool?

You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you

Was I just a fool?

I'll follow you down til' the sound of my voice will haunt you

Give me just a chance

You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you

You could be my silver springs

My blue green colors flashin'[/FONT]

Bruno Mars - "It Will Rain"

 

If you ever leave me, baby,

Leave some morphine at my door

'Cause it would take a whole lot of medication

To realize what we used to have,

We don't have it anymore.

 

There's no religion that could save me

No matter how long my knees are on the floor (Ooh)

So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm makin'

To keep you by my side

To keep you from walkin' out the door.

 

'Cause there'll be no sunlight

If I lose you, baby

There'll be no clear skies

If I lose you, baby

Just like the clouds

My eyes will do the same, if you walk away

Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain

 

I'll never be your mother's favorite

Your daddy can't even look me in the eye

Ooh, if I was in their shoes, I'd be doing the same thing

Sayin' "There goes my little girl

Walkin' with that troublesome guy"

 

But they're just afraid of something they can't understand

Ooh, but little darlin' watch me change their minds

Yeah for you I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try

I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding

If that'll make you mine

 

'Cause there'll be no sunlight

If I lose you, baby

There'll be no clear skies

If I lose you, baby

Just like the clouds

My eyes will do the same, if you walk away

Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain

 

Oh, don't you say (don't you say) goodbye (goodbye),

Don't you say (don't you say) goodbye (goodbye)

I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding

If that'll make it right

 

'Cause there'll be no sunlight

If I lose you, baby

There'll be no clear skies

If I lose you, baby

And just like the clouds

My eyes will do the same, if you walk away

Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain

 

AND

Alex Clare - "Too Close"

You know I'm not one to break promises,

I don't want to hurt you but I need to breathe.

At the end of it all, you're still my best friend,

But there's something inside that I need to release.

Which way is right, which way is wrong,

How do I say that I need to move on?

You know we're heading separate ways.

 

And it feels like I am just too close to love you,

There's nothing I can really say.

I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more,

Got to be true to myself.

And it feels like I am just too close to love you,

So I'll be on my way.

 

You've given me more than I can return,

Yet there's oh so much that you deserve.

There's nothing to say, nothing to do.

I've nothing to give,

I must live without you.

You know we're heading separate ways.

 

And it feels like I am just too close to love you,

There's nothing I can really say.

I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more,

Got to be true to myself.

And it feels like I am just too close to love you,

So I'll be on my way.

 

So I'll be on my way.

 

And it feels like I am just too close to love you,

There's nothing that I can really say.

I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more,

Got to be true to myself.

And it feels like I am just too close to love you,

So I'll be on my way.

 

So I'll be on my way.

So I'll be on my way.

Dead By April - Promise Me (acoustic version in the link)

 

Into the fire on my own, ...hey

I know I won't see your face again, ...hey

Are you sitting there alone, ...hey-ey

Are you thinking like me, of the laughing times,

or of the sad and loving times?

everything that's left from us

is fading away

 

Promise me to think of us, of a time so beautiful

Promise me to think of us, still bright, still colourful

Promise me to look back at us, of a time in your life, you enjoyed

 

Surrounded by flames everywhere,

what I used to be, I'm not even there

The absence of you is killing me, ...hey-ey,

are you thinking like me, of the laughing times,

or of the sad and loving times?

everything that's left from us

is fading away

 

Promise me to think of us, of a time so beautiful

Promise me to think of us, still bright, still colourful

Promise me to look back at us, of a time in your life, you enjoyed

 

...Promise me, promise me...

I will be fine without you,

...Promise me, promise me...

There is more in my life to see you

...Promise me, promise me...

I will be fine without you

...Promise me, promise me...

There is more in my life to see you

 

(Can you promise me?)

to see you

(Can you promise me?)

 

Promise me to think of us, of a time so beautiful ...so beautiful)

Promise me to think of us, still bright, still colourful ...still colourful

Promise me to look back at us, of a time in your life, you enjoyed

 

"Promise me to think of us, of a time so beautiful ...so beautiful

Promise me to think of us, still bright, still colourful ...still colourful

Promise me to look back at us, of a time in your life, you enjoyed

Please bleed

So I know that you are real

So I know that you can feel

The damage that you've done

 

~*~

 

 

Have no fear

For when I'm alone

I'll be better off than I was before

 

~*~

 

 

And all I ask you

Is for another chance

Another way around you

To live by circumstance, once again

This is one of the saddest and most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

 

 

When it hits me what she's gone

I think I'll run for president

Get my face put on the million dollar bill

 

So when these rich men that she wants

Show her ways they can take care of her

I'll have found a way to be there with her still

 

When it hits me that she's gone

I think I'll be an astronaut

Make the moon my home and leave the earth behind

 

So when eh steps out into the night

She'll be facing me every time she shines

 

When it hits me that she's left me alone

When I finally move on with my life

Her goodbye written into stone

And her shadow grown into a night

When it hits me that she's gone

I think I'll be a movie star

Play the finest men the world has ever seen

 

So when these lovers that she's found

Show her ways they learned to talk to her

Behind each perfect word there'll be a little bit of me

I am Robot- Nostalghia

I am writing out a letter

from an anonymous sender

and I'm hoping I can push out

all the things that held me down

like a clown I am to you

circus child far and few

spit my tricks out at your wins

swallow down your criss cross sins

And I sit down by my bedside

think of all the things I've done

out of pain out of rage

cursing out the rising sun

you put a gun right to my head

blew me up and found me dead

all those nasty things you said

all those bull**** words you fed

 

Now I am robot here me glitch

watch me tame my inner bitch

I am robot hear me glitch

watch me cure the human itch

 

I'm unhealthy but i'm focused

you can see it in my eyes

I am crying, but I'm smiling

you can hear it when I sigh

If I gave you all these tears

you would need a thousand years

just to trace out all the fears

of what has gone and left me behind

 

 

Raise Your Weapon"

(feat. Greta Svabo Bech)

 

Rippin' my heart was so easy, so easy, launch your assault now, take it easy. Raise your weapon, raise your weapon, one word and it's over. rippin' through like a missile, rippin' through my heart, rob me of this love. Raise your weapon, raise your weapon... And it's over.

 

Love your ego, you won't feel a thing, always number one, the pen with a bent wrist crooked king, sign away our peace, for your war, one word and it's over.

Dropping your bombs now, on all we've built, how does it feel now to watch it burn, burn, burn? Raise your weapons, raise your weapons... And it's over.

 

Rippin' my heart was so easy, so easy, launch your assault now, take it easy. Raise your weapon, raise your weapon, one word and it's over. Rippin' through like a missile, rippin' through my heart, rob me of this love. Raise your weapon, raise your weapon... And it's over. How does it feel now to watch it burn, burn, burn?

listened to this song when i was at my lowest... Opeth - The Drapery Falls

 

Opeth - The Drapery Falls - YouTube

 

Please remedy my confusion and thrust me back to the day

The silence of your seclusion brings night into all you say

 

Pull me down again and guide me into pain

 

I'm counting nocturnal hours, drowned visions in haunted sleep

Faint flickering of your powers leaks out to show what you keep

 

Pull me down again and guide me into

 

There is failure inside

This test I can't persist

Kept back by the enigma

No criteria demanded here

Deadly patterns made my wreath

Prosperous in your ways

Pale ghost in the corner

Pouring a caress on your shoulder

 

Puzzled by shrewd innocence

Runs a thick tide beneath

Ushered into inner graves

Nails bleeding from the struggle

 

It is the end for the weak at heart,

Always the same

A lullaby for the ones who've lost all

Reeling inside

My gleaming eye in your necklace reflects

Stare of primal regrets

You turn your back and you walk away

Never again

 

Spiraling to the ground below

Like Autumn leaves left in the wake to fade away

Waking up to your sound again

And lapse into the ways of misery

"Goodbye My Lover" by James Blunt

 

Did I disappoint you or let you down?

Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?

'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,

Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.

So I took what's mine by eternal right.

Took your soul out into the night.

It may be over but it won't stop there,

I am here for you if you'd only care.

You touched my heart you touched my soul.

You changed my life and all my goals.

And love is blind and that I knew when,

My heart was blinded by you.

I've kissed your lips and held your hand.

Shared your dreams and shared your bed.

I know you well, I know your smell.

I've been addicted to you.

 

[x2]

Goodbye my lover.

Goodbye my friend.

You have been the one.

You have been the one for me.

 

I am a dreamer and when I wake,

You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.

And as you move on, remember me,

Remember us and all we used to be

I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.

I've watched you sleeping for a while.

I'd be the father of your child.

I'd spend a lifetime with you.

I know your fears and you know mine.

We've had our doubts but now we're fine,

And I love you, I swear that's true.

I cannot live without you.

 

[x2]

Goodbye my lover.

Goodbye my friend.

You have been the one.

You have been the one for me.

 

And I still hold your hand in mine.

In mine when I'm asleep.

And I will bare my soul in time,

When I'm kneeling at your feet.

Goodbye my lover.

Goodbye my friend.

You have been the one.

You have been the one for me.

 

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.

I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.

I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

 

And All That Could've Been by Nine Inch Nails

 

Breeze still carries the sound

Maybe I'll disappear

Tracks will fade in the snow

You won't find me here

 

Ice is starting to form

Ending what had begun

I am locked in my head

With what I've done

I know you tried to rescue me

Didn't let anyone get in

Left with a trace of all that was

And all that could have been

 

Please

Take this

And run far away

Far away from me

I am

Tainted

The two of us

Were never meant to be

All these

Pieces

And promises and left behinds

If only I could see

In my

Nothing

You meant everything

Everything to me

 

Gone.. fading..

Everything..

And..

All that..

Could have been..

All that could have been.

 

Please

Take this

And run far away

Far as you can see

I am

Tainted

And happiness and peace of mind

Were never meant for me

All these

Pieces

And promises and left behinds

If only I could see

In my

Nothing

You meant everything

Everything to me

good ole mike.

 

Opeth - Weakness - YouTube

 

Found you there in the blink of an eye

I miss you

Turned away into a thousand dreams

Found out what they mean

 

Lost you there in a moment of truth

I trust you

Gave away the one and only heart

A gift to tear apart

 

Stain me, save me

Take me to my home

Hold me, show me

Take me to my home

 

Weaker now, drawing fluid from me

You kill me

I'm not afraid of what you have just done

But of what you've just become

I thought I’d post 2 songs I did myself (I’m a singer – songwriter in my spare time) for anyone interested…

 

This one is called Stray Hairs. I wrote it back last June when my now-ex left me for a month after he got really sick and didn’t think we could be together anymore. I didn’t give up hope but was very depressed by it all, as evidenced in the song.

This one I did last week, a month after my ex cut off all contact with me and left me for good. It’s called Shattered Glass.
