The saddest song lyrics ever, not just what the lyrics mean but also sound really sad and definitely strike a nerve is BILLY HOLIDAY's solitude, strange fruit, lover come back to me. good morning heartache, there are many more. Solitude is a struggle to hold back tears when you hear it.

You better not kill the groove, or else i'll come round your house and punch your lights out!

the_funkmaster: hate to break it to you, but fake plastic trees isn't a sad song..
it's about a plastic blowmeup fuckdoll:)
saddest lyrics i've heard are from no surprises by radiohead. listen closely and you'll notice that it's about suicide.
A heart that's full up like a landfill, a job that slowly kills you, bruises that won't heal. You look so tired-unhappy, bring down the government, they don't speak for us.
I'll take a quiet life, a handshake of carbon monoxide, with no alarms and no surprises, no alarms and no surprises, Silent.
This is my final fit, my final bellyache, no alarms and no surprises,
Such a pretty house and such a pretty garden. no alarms and no surprises please.

i guess cause i always think about how sad I am after seeing the news, cause its always tragic and bad.

I love how when I listen to Hurt it initially gives me an overwhelming wave of depression, but as the song gets close to the end the depression is slowly transformed into anger, and ultimatly hatred by the end of the song... one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard

A helpless love story
Gimme me another reason for loving you although you’ve done what you’ve done cause I can’t find anyone
No more flowers in your hand No more poems by my love No more tears in lovers land No more feelings all above
No more questions in my head No more answers bring me dead
Let’s call it another helpless love story Let’s see it as another saddening glory
Loving you was more then all Praising you a kind of game Admiring you became my fall Knowing you that was my fame
No more questions with my breath No more answers bring my death
Let’s call it another helpless love story Let’s see it as another saddening glory

In my solitude you haunt me with dreadful ease of days gone by
In my solitude you taunt me with memories that never die
I sit in my chair filled with depair theres no one could be so sad with gloom everywhere I sit and i stare I know that I'll soon go mad
In my solitude im afraid dear lord above send back my love.

Gloomy sunday
Dreaming, i was only dreaming i wake and i find you asleep in the deep of my heart here darling i hope that my dream never haunted you my heart is tellin you how much i wanted you

The Residents - Disfigured Night is all I can think of at the moment, but I know lots of sad songs...
Silly Billy bought his breakfast from a fat old man, who cooked his eggs and bacon in a big black frying pan; The pan was made of metal that was once an army tank, holding soldiers with their wounds that oozed until they stank;
And every time the breakfast man put eggs upon his plate, the yellow yokes stared up as Billy cut them, then he ate; He saw the eggs as bulging boils that burst when they are poked,
he tasted tears from someone's fear, and made a silly joke.
The rest of his day like all the others moved along a path, Filled with visions of somebody's pain inflicted past; He saw a woman raped by brothers who had left her in the back seat of a Chevy that had honked its horn at him; A chance encounter with a clown once made him scratch his hand
from a case of hives and then he met a mad milkman, whose sister swallowed shards of glass inside a sugar rose, and died with blood exploding from her mouth and from her nose.
He lived alone inside a world of other people's pain, isolated from their joy and love his life retained its innocence because he couldn't hear or speak a word, releasing pain as easy as a tree releases birds; It even made him happy in a strange and funny way, reversing misery to joy and agony to play; They called him Silly Billy when they saw his sappy face, but no one knew it came from someone's less than happy fate.
There is much more to this song, here's the link to the lyrics... It's a very good read if you like simple poetry telling a story.

Godspeed You Black Emperor first track from F# A# (cross) (infinity symbol)
it went like this: the buildings toppled in on themselves mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble and pulled out their hair.
the skyline was beautiful on fire all twisted metal stretching upwards everything awash with a thin orange haze
i said, "kiss me you're beautiful these are truly the last days." you grabbed my hand and we fell into it like a daydream or a fever.
we woke up one morning and fell a little further down for sure it's the valley of death i open up my wallet and it's full of blood.
I think that's how it goes...

Theatre of Tragedy - "A Distance There Is"
Come in out of the rain thou sayest - but thou ne'er step'st aside;
And I am trapp'd - A distance there is... None, save me and the bodkin - pitter-patter on the roof: Behold! - 'tis not the rain; thence me it has to be - I will not drink thy vintage wine, my dear; Thou hast heed'd that I am of innocence, yet thou let'st thy lass into peril
- Thou let'st me be parched; My heart is of frailty, my pale skin is hued damask. When thou thy tears hast hidden, "Come back!", thou sayest -
There I soon am to be - but how am I to run when my bones, my heart!
Thou hast me bereaft! - But run thou sayest; I run - And there and then I behold that a time will come when I again dead will be.
Thou tell'st me to leave without delay - I leave with my bodkin and my tears in my hands; Lo! - the shadows, the sky - descending; So by a dint of smite I gait ere I run and melt together with dusk.
In my mind in which is this event, But it seems as if naught is to change anyway?! After all these years thou left'st me down in the emotional depths -
The sombre soaked velvet-drape is hung upon me, Turning my feelings away from our so ignorant world: All the beatiful moments shared, deliberatlely push'd aside -
...a distance there is...
^---- This a beautiful song, please find it and listen to it!
Dido - "My Lover's Gone"
My lover's gone, his boots no longer by my door, he left at dawn, and as I slept I felt him go Returns no more, I will not watch the ocean, my lover's gone, no earthly ships will ever Bring him home again, bring him home again My lover's gone, I know that kiss will be my last, no more his song, the tune upon his lips has passed I sing alone, while I watch the ocean, my lover's gone, no earthly ships will ever Bring him home again, bring him home again

whoops..
Lynyrd Skynyrd - "Freebird"
If I leave here tomorrow Would you still remember me? For I must be travelling on, now, 'Cause there's too many places I've got to see. But, if I stayed here with you, girl, Things just couldn't be the same. 'Cause I'm as free as a bird now, And this bird you can not change. Lord knows, I can't change.
Bye, bye, its been a sweet love. Though this feeling I can't change. But please don't take it badly, 'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame. But, if I stayed here with you girl, Things just couldn't be the same. Cause I'm as free as a bird now, And this bird you'll never change. And this bird you can not change. Lord knows, I can't change. Lord help me, I can't change.

a very sad lyric for me is in the song In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel...
"When I want to run away, I drive on in my car!!"
I dunno, it's a simple lyric, but I can relate because one of the most theraputic things for me when I'm down or distraut or something is to drive... it's like my own private space where I can try and put things into perspective...

Ohh, almost forgot
Smashing Pumpkins - Crestfallen
who am I to need you when I'm down where are you when I need you around your life is not your own
and all I ask you is for another chance another way around you to live by circumstance, once again
who am I to need you now to ask you why to tell you no to deserve your love and sympathy you were never meant to belong to me
and you may go, but I know you won't leave too many years built into memories your life is not your own
who am I to need you now to ask you why to tell you no to deserve your love and sympathy you were never meant to belong to me
who am I to you? along the way I lost my faith
and as you were, you'll be again to mold like clay, to break like dirt to tear me up in your sympathy you were never meant to belong to me you were never meant to belong to me you were never meant to belong to me
who am I?
