You know those songs that just make you want to look out the window and shed a tear? Well, here is a list of some of my favorite sad songs.

“Yours”- Ella Henderson

“And I will fight my strength to untape my mouth when I used to be afraid of the words, but with you I’ve learnt just to let it out. Now my heart is ready to burst…”

 

“Gone”- Lianne la Havas

“I heard enough fairy tales back in my youth, so just stop biting your nails and take the painful truth.”

 

“Say Something”- A Great Big World ft. Christina Aguilera

“And I am feeling so small. It was over my head I know nothing at all.”

 

“Fix You”- Coldplay

“Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones. And I will try to fix you.”

 

“Time After Time”- Cyndi Lauper

“If you’re lost you can look and you will find me, time after time.”

 

“I Will Remember You”- Sarah McLachlan

“I will remember you, will you remember me? Don’t let your life pass you by, weep not for the memories.”

 

“Dance With My Father”- Luther Vandross

“If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him. I’d play a song that would never, ever end. How I’d love love love to dance with my father again.”

 

“Someone Like You”- Adele

“I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited, but I couldn’t stay away I couldn’t fight it. I had hoped you’d see my face and that you’d be reminded that for me it isn’t over.”

“Don’t Forget”- Demi Lovato

“Did you forget that I was even alive? Did you forget everything we ever had? Did you forget, did you forget ’bout me?”

 

“Stay With Me”- Sam Smith

“Oh, won’t you stay with me? Cause you’re all I need. This ain’t love it’s clear to see, but darling stay with me.”
