sad song lyrics

[Guest Jack_the_ripper]

so post what you think are sad lyrics.

here's one that immediatly comes to mind:

O! Valencia - The decemberists

You belong to the gang

And you say you can't break away

But I'm here with my hands on my heart

Our families can't agree

I'm your brother's sworn enemy

But I'll shout out my love to the stars

So wait for the stone on your window, your window

Wait by the car and we'll go, we'll go

When first we laid eyes

I swore to no compromise

'Til I felt my caress on your skin

Well, how soon we were betrayed

Your sister gave us away

And your father came all unhinged

So wait for the stone on your window, your window

Wait by the car and we'll go, we'll go

Oh Valencia

With your blood still warm on the ground

Valencia

And I swear to the stars

I'll burn this whole city down

All I heard was a shout

Of your brother calling me out

And you ran like a fool to my side

Well the shot, it hit hard

And your frame went limp in my arms

And an oath of love was your dying cry

So wait for the stone on your window, your window

Wait by the car and we'll, go we'll go

Oh Valencia

With your blood still warm on the ground

Valencia

And I'll burn this whole city down

Valencia

With your blood gettin' cold on the ground

Valencia

And I swear to the stars

I'll burn this whole city down

[murray_TH]

Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here always moves me...

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,

blue skies from pain.

Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?

A smile from a veil?

Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?

Hot ashes for trees?

Hot air for a cool breeze?

Cold comfort for change?

And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.

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.

[Guest Ohdistortedsmile1789]

Sing me to sleep

Sing me to sleep

I'm tired and I

I want to go to bed

Sing me to sleep

Sing me to sleep

And then leave me alone

Don't try to wake me in the morning

'Cause I will be gone

Don't feel bad for me

I want you to know

Deep in the cell of my heart

I will feel so glad to go

Sing me to sleep

Sing me to sleep

I don't want to wake up

On my own anymore

Sing to me

Sing to me

I don't want to wake up

On my own anymore

Don't feel bad for me

I want you to know

Deep in the cell of my heart

I really want to go

There is another world

There is a better world

Well, there must be

Well, there must be

(repeat above two lines)

Bye bye.

-The Smiths "Asleep"

[Estranged Reality]

You wan'da step into my world

It's a sociopsychotic state of bliss

You've been delayed in the real world

How many times have you hit and missed?

You cat-scan shows disfiguration

I wanna laugh myself to death

With a misfired synapse

with a bent configuration

I'll hold the line while you gasp for breath

You wanna talk to me

So talk to me

You wanna talk to me (7 times)

You can't talk to me

You don't understand your sex

You ain't been mindfucked yet

Let's do it (3 times)

Oh my distorted smile

- Indeed, a sad day for every Guns N' Roses fan.

I'm loving Streets of Philadelphia right now, and it's very sad.

[Tyles]

Rammstein - Ohne Dich (Without You)

(Translated)

I'm going to go into the fir trees

There where I last saw her

But the evening is throwing a cloth upon the land

and upon the ways behind the edge of the forest

And the forest it is so black and empty

Woe is me, oh woe

And the birds sing no more

Without you I cannot be

Without you

With you I am alone too

Without you

Without you I count the hours without you

With you the seconds stand still

They aren't worth it

On the branches in the ditches

it's now silent and without life

And breathing becomes oh so hard for me

Woe is me, oh woe

And the birds sing no more

Without you I cannot be

Without you

With you I am alone too

Without you

Without you I count the hours without you

With you the seconds stand still

They aren't worth it without you

I dedicate this song to my cat.

[Axingn'r]

Roy Orbison - It's Over

Your baby doesn't love you any more

Golden days before they end

Whisper secrets to the wind

Your baby won't be near you any more

Tender nights before they fly

Send falling stars that seem to cry

Your baby doesn't want you any more

It's over

It breaks your heart in two, to know she's been untrue

But oh what will you do ? Then she said to you

There's someone new, we're through, we're through

It's over, it's over, it's over

All the rainbows in the sky start to even say goodbye

You won't be seeing rainbows any more

Setting suns before they fall, echo to you that's all that's all

But you'll see lonely sunsets after all

It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over

Artist: Nico Lyrics

Song: These Days Lyrics

I've been out walking

I don't do too much talking

These days, these days.

These days I seem to think a lot

About the things that I forgot to do

And all the times I had the chance to.

I've stopped my rambling,

I don't do too much gambling

These days, these days.

These days I seem to think about

How all the changes came about my ways

And I wonder if I'll see another highway.

I had a lover,

I don't think I'll risk another

These days, these days.

And if I seem to be afraid

To live the life that I have made in song

It's just that I've been losing so long.

La la la la la, la la.

I've stopped my dreaming,

I won't do too much scheming

These days, these days.

These days I sit on corner stones

And count the time in quarter tones to ten.

Please don't confront me with my failures,

I had not forgotten them.

[Gash]

It's a cliche but still...

Robert Johnson - Love in Vain

Well I followed her to the station

With a suitcase in my hand

Yeah, I followed her to the station

With a suitcase in my hand

Whoa, it's hard to tell, it's hard to tell

When all your love's in vain

When the train come in the station

I looked her in the eye

Well the train come in the station

And I looked her in the eye

Whoa, I felt so sad so lonesome

That I could not help but cry

When the train left the station

It had two lights on behind

Yeah, when the train left the station

It had two lights on behind

Whoa, the blue light was my blues

And the red light was my mind

All my love was in vain

All my love's in vain

[kingwillie]

i never liked eminem or rap but i think that Like Toy Soldiers is pretty moving when you pay attention to the lyrics

[Chorus]

Step by step, heart to heart, left right left

We all fall down like toy soldiers

Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win

But the battle wages on for toy soldiers

[Verse 1]

I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure

Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders

I am never supposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it

Even if it means goin' toe to toe with a Benzino it don't matter

I'd never drag them in battles that I can handle unless I absolutely have to

I'm supposed to set an example

I need to be the leader, my crew looks for me to guide 'em

If some shit ever does pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em

That Ja shit I tried to squash it, it was too late to stop it

There's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it

I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost it

It was crazy, this shit went way beyond some Jay-z and Nas shit

And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it

I spent too much energy on it, honestly I'm exhausted

And I'm so caught in it I almost feel I'm the one who caused it

This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for, it's not why I got in it

That was never my object for someone to get killed

Why would I wanna destroy something I help build

It wasn't my intentions, my intentions was good

I went through my whole career without ever mentionin' Suge

And that was just out of respect for not runnin' my mouth

And talkin' about something that I knew nothing about

Plus Dre told me stay out, this just wasn't my beef

So I did, I just fell back, watched and gritted my teeth

While he's all over t.v. down talkin' a man who literally saved my life

Like fuck it i understand this is business

And this shit just isn't none of my business

But still knowin' this shit could pop off at any minute cuz

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

There used to be a time when you could just say a rhyme

And wouldn't have to worry about one of your people dyin'

But now it's elevated cuz once you put someone's kids in it

The shit gets escalated, it ain't just words no more is it?

It's a different ball game, callin' names and you ain't just rappin'

We actually tried to stop the 50 and Ja beef from happenin'

Me and Dre had sat with him, kicked it and had a chat with him

And asked him not to start it he wasn't gonna go after him

Until Ja started yappin' in magazines how we stabbed him

Fuck it 50 smash 'em, mash 'em and let him have it

Meanwhile my attention is pullin' in other directions

Some receptionist at The Source who answers phones at his desk

Has an erection for me and thinks that I'll be his ressurection

Tries to blow the dust off his mic and make a new record

But now he's fucked the game up cuz one of the ways I came up

Was through that publication the same one that made me famous

Now the owner of it has got a grudge against me for nothin'

Well fuck it, that motherfucker can get it too, fuck him then

But I'm so busy being pissed off I don't stop to think

That we just inherited 50's beef with Murder Inc.

And he's inherited mine which is fine ain't like either of us mind

We still have soldiers that's on the front line

That's willing to die for us as soon as we give the orders

Never to extort us, strictly to show they support us

We'll maybe shout 'em out in a rap or up in a chorus

To show them we love 'em back and let 'em know how important it is

To have Runyan Avenue, soldiers up in our corners

Their loyalty to us is worth more than any award is

But I ain't tryna have none of my people hurt and murdered

It ain't worth it, I can't think of a perfecter way to word it

Then to just say that I love ya'll too much to see the verdict

I'll walk away from it all before I let it go any further

But don't get it twisted, it's not a plea that I'm coppin'

I'm just willin' to be the bigger man

If ya'll can quit poppin' off at the jaws, well then I can

Cuz frankly I'm sick of talkin'

I'm not gonna let someone elses coffin rest on my conscience cuz

Helloween - A Tale That Wasn’t Right

Here I stand all alone

Have my mind turned to stone

Have my heart filled up with ice

To avoid its breakin twice

Thanx to you, my dear old friend

But you cant help, this is the end

Of a tale that wasnt right

I wont have no sleep tonight

In my heart, in my soul

I really hate to pay this toll

Should be strong, young and bold

But the only thing I feel is pain

Its alright, well stay friends

Trustin in my confidence

And lets say its just alright

You wont sleep alone tonight

With my heart, with my soul

Some guys cry you bought and sold

Theyve been strong, young and bold

And they say, play this song again

[nathalie92]

Century Lover Why.

This song always makes me cry..

A sign of time

I lost my life, forgot to die

Like any man, a frightened guy

I'm keeping memories inside

Of wounded love

But I know

I'm more than sad and more today

I'm eating words too hard to say

A single tear and I'm away

Away and gone

I need you

So far from hell, so far from you

'Cause heaven's hard and black and gray

You're just a someone gone away

You never said goodbye

Why, lover why ?

Why do flowers die ?

Why, lover why ?

Everytime

I hear your voice, you heard my name

You built the fire, wet the flame

I swim for life, can't take the rain

No turning back

I need you

So far from hell, so far from you

'Cause heaven's hard and black and gray

You're just a someone gone away

You never said goodbye

Why, lover why ?

Why do flowers die ?

Why, lover why ?

Why, lover why ?

Why do flowers die ?

Why, lover why

[Lone Sal Bug]

the song "Hurt" ....I CANT liston to it. NIN & Johnny Cash,. ive listend to it 3 times. never!!!! again.It's sad and wierd. I hate it. I love alot of NIN songs that one though..it draws a bad reaction out of me. no-one mentions it around me.

[Dannebac]

she was always something special

a diamond shining bright in the rain

everybody dreams of angels

no one will ever know how much i loved you so

chorus

now it all seems funny

kinda like a dream

things aint always what they seem

what a shame

what happened to jayne

U were always on my mind

a childlike summer days in the sun

slowly wishes turn to sadness

time dont heal a broken gun

i wish i'd never let you go

hear me now cuase i want ya to know

chorus

now she's breakin' hearts in heaven

shining bright in the sky

i still hear her voice in the wind

i still think of you in the night

well i guess she'll never know

how much i need her so

chorus

[kevdo242]

I come from the valley

Where Mister when you're young

They bring you up to do

Like your daddy done

Me and Mary, we met in high school

When she was just seventeen

We'd ride out of this valley

Down to where the fields are green

We'd go down to the river

And into the river, we'd dive

Oh down to the river, we'd ride

Then I got Mary pregnant

And man that was as she wrote

And for my eighteenth birthday

I got a Union card and a wedding coat

We went down to the courthouse

And the judge put it all to rest

No wedding day smiles, no walk down the ailse

No flowers, no wedding dress

That night, we went down to the river

And into the river we dived

Oh down to the river, we did ride

I got a job working construction

For the Johnstown company

But lately there ain't been much work

On account of the economy

And all them things that seemed so important

Well, Mister, they vanished right into the air

Now I just act like I don't remember

Mary acts like she don't care

But I remember us riding my brother's car

Her body tanned and wet down at the reservoir

At night on them banks, I'd lie awake

And pull her closer to feel each breath she'd take

Now those memories come back to haunt me

They haunt me like a curse

Is a dream a lie if it don't come true

Or is it something worse?

It sends me down to the river

Though I know the river is dry

It sends me down to the river tonight

Down to the river, my baby and I

Oh down to the river we ride

[krissirge]

Pearl Jam - Black

Hey... oooh...

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay

Were laid spread out before me as her body once did.

All five horizons revolved around her soul

As the earth to the sun

Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

Ooh, and all I taught her was everything

Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore

And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds

Of what was everything.

Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

I take a walk outside

I'm surrounded by some kids at play

I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?

Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head

I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning

How quick the sun can drop away

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass

Of what was everything?

All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

All the love gone bad turned my world to black

Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be... yeah...

Uh huh... uh huh... ooh...

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,

I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky, but why

Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine

Aah... uuh..

Too doo doo too, too doo doo [many times until fade]

[Axingn'r]

Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart

When the routine bites hard

and ambitions are low

And the resentment rides high

but emotions won't grow

And we're changing our ways,

taking different roads

Then love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold

Turned away on your side?

Is my timing that flawed,

our respect run so dry?

Yet there's still this appeal

That we've kept through our lives

Love, love will tear us apart again

Do you cry out in your sleep

All my failings exposed

Get a taste in my mouth

As desperation takes hold

Is it something so good

Just can't function no more?

When love, love will tear us apart again

[oogieboogieman420]

I'm so ronrey by kim jung il in team america world police...lol... j/k

"She seems dressed in all of me, stretched across my shame...

all the tourment and the pain, leak thru and covet me..

I'd do anything to have her to myself, just to have her for myself...

now I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do.. when she makes me, sad...

She is everything to me, the unrequited dream, a song that no one sings,

the unatainable...

she's a myth that I have to believe in, all I need to make it real, is one more reason..

I don't know what to do... I don't know what to do.. when she makes me sad...

But I wont let this build up inside of me..

I wont let this build up inside of me.. I wont let this build up inside of me..

I wont let this build up inside of me...

A CATCH IN MY THROAT.. CHOKE... Torn into peices I wont, no.. I don;t wanna be this,

But I wont let this build up inside of me.. (wont let this build up inside of me)

But I wont let this build up inside of me.. (wont let this build up inside of me)

she, isnt real.. I can't make her real... (I wont let this build up inside of me)

[Estranged Reality]

Without You by Harry Nilsson is the saddest song ever written.

So is Hurt by Johnny Cash. Not NIN. Although credit to Trent for the lyrics.

Saddest song: angels wings -social distortion

Edited January 12, 2007 by Paula McKagan

[Axingn'r]

When they poured across the border

I was cautioned to surrender,

this I could not do;

I took my gun and vanished.

I have changed my name so often,

I've lost my wife and children

but I have many friends,

and some of them are with me.

An old woman gave us shelter,

kept us hidden in the garret,

then the soldiers came;

she died without a whisper.

There were three of us this morning

I'm the only one this evening

but I must go on;

the frontiers are my prison.

Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,

through the graves the wind is blowing,

freedom soon will come;

then we'll come from the shadows.

Les Allemands étaient chez moi, (The Germans were at my home)

ils me dirent, "Signe toi," (They said, "Sign yourself,")

mais je n'ai pas peur; (But I am not afraid)

j'ai repris mon arme. (I have retaken my weapon.)

J'ai changé cent fois de nom, (I have changed names a hundred times)

j'ai perdu femme et enfants (I have lost wife and children)

mais j'ai tant d'amis; (But I have so many friends)

j'ai la France entière. (I have all of France)

Un vieil homme dans un grenier (An old man, in an attic)

pour la nuit nous a caché, (Hid us for the night)

les Allemands l'ont pris; (The Germans captured him)

il est mort sans surprise. (He died without surprise.)

Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,

through the graves the wind is blowing,

freedom soon will come;

then we'll come from the shadows.

Roy Orbison - It's Over

Your baby doesn't love you any more

Golden days before they end

Whisper secrets to the wind

Your baby won't be near you any more

Tender nights before they fly

Send falling stars that seem to cry

Your baby doesn't want you any more

It's over

It breaks your heart in two, to know she's been untrue

But oh what will you do ? Then she said to you

There's someone new, we're through, we're through

It's over, it's over, it's over

All the rainbows in the sky start to even say goodbye

You won't be seeing rainbows any more

Setting suns before they fall, echo to you that's all that's all

But you'll see lonely sunsets after all

It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over

This is a sad song but I think Crying has it beat...in my opinion at least.

I was all right for a while

I could smile for a while

But I saw you last night

You held my hand so tight

When you stopped to say Hello

You wished me well

You couldn’t tell

I've been crying over you

Crying over you

You said so long and

Left me standing all alone

Alone and crying

Crying, crying crying

It’s hard to understand

But the touch of your hand

Can start me crying

I thought that I Was over you

But it’s true, so true

I love you even more

Than I did before

But darling what can I do

For you don’t love me

And I’ll always be

Crying over you

Crying over you

Yes, now you’re gone

And from this moment on

I’ll be crying

Crying, crying, crying

Yeah crying

Crying, over you

[Axingn'r]

This is a sad song but I think Crying has it beat...in my opinion at least.

You're right, "Cryin'" is really sad too.

[Dannebac]

Every day here, you come walking

I hold my tongue, I don't do much talking

You say you're happy and you're doin' fine

Well, go ahead, baby; I got plenty of time

Because sad eyes never lie

Because sad eyes never lie

Well, for a while, I've been watching you steady

Ain't gonna move 'til you're good and ready

You show up and then you shy away

But I know pretty soon you'll be walkin' this way

Because sad eyes never lie

'Cause sad eyes never lie

(Bridge:)

Baby, don't you know I don't care?

Don't you know that I've been there?

Well, if something in the air feels a little unkind

Don't worry, darling; it'll slip your mind

I know you think you'd never be mine

Well, that's okay, baby; I don't mind

That shy smile's sweet--that's a fact

Go ahead; I don't mind the act

Here you come, all dressed up for a date

Well, one more step and it'll be too late

Blue, blue ribbon in your hair

Like you're so sure I'll be standing here

I guess sad eyes never lie

I guess sad eyes never lie

I guess sad eyes never lie

Sad eyes never lie

im sure you know the lyrics anyway

I love both versions of that song. (I think Sevendust did one live, but I only heard it once on the radio) Johnny Cash's version is what really gets to me though, I can't listen to it very much because it makes me bawl.
