What's your pick for 'saddest song ever'?

:D Not my saddest song,but being lonely does suck,I'm sure most people can relate to this song.Even with the silly chipmunk voice.

YouTube - Akon - Lonely

Can relate to most depressing songs though like below,but I try not to listen to too much,I find my negativity best not to indulge as much as possible

Can't think of a reason to get the **** out of bed
Curtains closed,lights off,Am I alive or Dead?
God Dam I'm a **** up but I guess that's just me
So I will sit in my room and cry in my bed
Thinking about all the **** that made me wrong in the head
I keep trying to climb,but it seems so steep
Pour myself a whisky and go back to sleep
****

omg omg omg Mad World (Donnie Darko is one of my fave movies)...Mr. Lonely, the first time I ever heard it I cried......omg I love these songs...Hollywood Undead is a great band also!

Here's another favorite that sends tingles down my spine...:

YouTube - Scary Kids Scaring Kids-Watch Me Bleed

The silence keeps it easy
Keeps you safe for the moment
As you're walking away
Your footsteps get louder
All you needed was time
But now time will destroy us

It will all be over and here we are
We're stuck inside this salted earth together
You'll pierce my lungs
My limbs go numb
As my colors fade out

You watch me bleed
You watch me bleed

I gave you everything but die with a smile
All you wanted was to live for a while
You took everything but it left you empty
You can't replace me, you can't

It's almost over and here we are
We're stuck inside this salted earth together
You'll pierce my lungs
My limbs go numb
As my colors fade out

You watch me bleed
You watch me bleed

It will all be over and here we are
We'll die inside this salted earth together
You'll pierce my lungs
My limbs go numb
As my colors fade out

You watch me bleed
You watch me bleed
You watch me bleed
You watch me bleed

Watch me bleed


YouTube - Mae - Giving It Away

And by the way you brought me here
it makes me believe the best is still yet to come
and I don't want to leave
Forgive my hesitation-oh,but I'm learning to trust in you.
Help me to dream these dreams cause I don't have a clue.

And if you'd be honest and say what you mean,
you know I would promise, I'd do anything
cause I know that without you, I'm giving it away.
Is this what you wanted?

Cause I'm willing to change.
Now that I am certain,
that there's much more to gain.
You've introduced me to the moment,
oh, but I'm looking to stay, for good. Yeah.

You've asked me to stay forever.
Well, you know that I would,
I would do anything.

If you'd be honest, and say what you mean,
you know I would promise, I'd do anything,
cause I know that without you
I'm giving it away.

The nights are forever,
and maybe I'm wrong,
but it feels like I'm so lost without you.
So I step towards the heat,
it's the way I can see,
and it makes me believe that it's you.
Oh, oh, dadada dada!

And by the way you brought me here
it makes me believe the best is still yet to come
and I don't want to leave,
I want to leave, I won't but anyway...

If you'd be honest,
and say what you mean,
you know I would promise, I'd do anything
and the nights are forever,
I can't get to sleep,
cause I know there's a reason.

I'm in this too [deep]
and I'm sure that without you,
oh, I'm giving it away x7

YouTube - Incubus - I Miss You

To see you when I wake up, is a gift I didn't think could be real
To know that you feel the same, as I do, is a Three-fold utopian dream
You do something to me
That I can't explain
So would I be out of line, If I said
I miss you.
I see your picture, I smell your skin on, the empty pillow next to mine
You have only been gone ten days, but already I am wasting away
I know I'll see you again
Whether far or soon
But I need you to know, that I care
And I miss you

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc6fxV_vX5I

Even if you'd never strayed from me,
I'd question your fidelity.
There'd always be a shroud of suspicion
And my heart's a liability
With your hands maroon, so freshly red,
You'd wrap your lips around my neck.
Try and force to love the thought of me.
Simple motions make me ill.

Was it bitter when you tossed and turned
On an undercover mattress?
Did it feel so good? Hope it felt so good.
Don't know what I'd do if you lost sleep over little old me.
He's so much better.
They're all much better.
Take off your sweater, your shoes, and your shirt, and get to work.

Maybe this is just a work of art.
Scripted players in a play of lust.
Hope the end is well worth waiting for
Everything you wished there'd be

Was it bitter when you tossed and turned
On an undercover mattress?
Did it feel so good? Hope it felt so good.
Don't know what I'd do if you lost sleep over little old me.
He's so much better.
They're all much better.
Take off your sweater, your shoes, and your shirt, and get to work.

Oh my god, what have I done?
Now my darling, put your clothes back on.
Oh my god, what have I done?
Now my darling, put your clothes back on.

Cause you can't be caught red-handed if you're not red-handed.
My darling, if I ever said those words to you,
I was pulling out my heart so I could pin it to my sleeve
On display for you to see, I'm on display.

Because you can't be caught red-handed if you're not red-handed.
My darling, I would never say those words to you.
I was pulling out my heart so I could pin it to my sleeve
On display for you to see, I'm on display.

Oh my god, what have I done?
Now my darling, put your clothes back on.
Oh my god, what have I done?
Now my darling, put your clothes back on.
Now my darling, put your clothes back on.

(Cause you can't be caught red-handed)
Oh my god, what have I done?
(If you're not red-handed)
Now my darling, put your clothes back on
(I would never say those words to you)
Oh my god, what have I done?
(I was pulling out my heart so I could pin it to my sleeve)
Now my darling put your clothes back on.
(On display for you to see, I'm on display)

Oh my god, what have I done?
Now my darling put your clothes back on

Did you really think that it was over,
when you hung up the phone, and said goodnight?
And did you ever think that it'd be too much?
I can't leave without saying ..goodbye.
So did you really think that you could take it?
Could you make it alone tonight?
I never could have hoped for anything more.
Be my angel if you can, alright.
You always say goodnight, and you, you always say goodnight.
So baby did you sleep an hour for me?
How I wish I was there right now.
I wasn't gunna tell you I could change things.
I'm afraid I never will know how.
But I don't really think that I can take it.
Will I make it alone somehow?
So hold me in your arms before I leave you.
I'll be back as soon as time allows.
You always say goodnight, yeah, and you you always say goodnight. Goodnight,
Goodnight, Goodnight.

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmaEYrmrY4I

Will someone please call a surgeon
Who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart
That your're deserting for better company?
I can't accept that it's over...
I will block the door like a goalie tending the net
In the third quarter of a tied-game rivalry

So just say how to make it right
And i swear i'll do my best to comply

Tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better
Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together

I feel must interject here you're getting carried away feeling sorry for yourself
With these revisions and gaps in history
So let me help you remember.
I've made charts and graphs that should finally make it clear.
I've prepared a lecture on why i have to leave

So please back away and let me go
I can't my darling i love you so...

Tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better
Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together
Don't you feed me lines about some idealistic future
Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures

I admit that i have made mistakes and i swear
I'll never wrong you again
You've got a lure i can't deny,
But you've had your chance so say goodbye
Say goodbye

In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find

In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do, and say
Is in the pill you took today

In the year 4545
Ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes
You won't find a thing chew
Nobody's gonna look at you

In the year 5555
Your arms are hanging limp at your sides
Your legs got not nothing to do
Some machine is doing that for you

In the year 6565
Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube

In the year 7510
If God's a-comin' he ought to make it by then
Maybe he'll look around himself and say
Guess it's time for the Judgement day

In the year 8510
God is gonna shake his mighty head
He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been
Or tear it down and start again

In the year 9595
I'm kinda wondering if man is gonna be alive
He's taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain't put back nothing

Now it's been 10,000 years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what he never knew
Now man's reign is through
But through the eternal night
The twinkling of starlight
So very far away
Maybe it's only yesterday

In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find

In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do or say
Is in the pill you took today ....(fading...)

Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say.
I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.
For all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took,
Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?

I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out

What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems?
(I'm not okay)
I've told you time and time again you sing the words but don't know what it means
(I'm not okay)
To be a joke and look, another line without a hook
I held you close as we both shook for the last time take a good hard look!

I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out

Forget about the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
You said you read me like a book, but the pages all are torn and frayed

I'm okay
I'm okay!
I'm okay, now
(I'm okay, now)

But you really need to listen to me
Because I'm telling you the truth
I mean this, I'm okay!
(Trust Me)

I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Well, I'm not okay
I'm not o-****ing-kay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
(Okay)

The hand of my clock strikes two
In times when I got the best of you
We made promises we couldn't keep
And every night we couldn't sleep.
I didn't know why, but didn't ask questions
because it was the first time in my life, yeah the first time in my life
Where I, did something right.

I set myself up for the greatest fall of all time
I set myself up for the greatest fall of all time

You pick me apart
While I search for witty things to say (In my defense)
"You'll never amount to anything anyway"
(Don't press your luck, don't press your luck)
And think that I'm impressed with your one night stands
and your contagious kiss
I'm trying to get this right
Yeah, cause I'm ridiculous like that

I set myself up for the greatest fall of all time
I set myself up for the greatest fall of all time

I'll keep this as
A constant reminder
Of the nights I spent holding onto her
And rest assured I'm moving on
I miss you less, with each day you're gone (you're gone)

I set myself up for the greatest fall of all time
I set myself up for the greatest fall of all time
I set myself up for the greatest fall of all time

I've come to my senses,
That I've become senseless,
I could give you lessons on how to ruin your friendships,
Every last conviction, I smoked them all away,
I drank my frustrations down the drain, out of the way,
So I sit and wait and wonder,
"Does anyone else feel like me?"
Someone so tired of their routines and disappearing self-esteems,

[Chorus]
I'll sing along,
Yeah with every emergency,
Just sing along,
I'm the king of catastrophes,
I'm so far gone,
That deep down inside I think it's fine by me,
I'm my own worst enemy

I could be an expert on co-dependency,
I could write the best book on under age tragedy,
I've been spending my time at the local liquor store,
I've been sleeping nightly on my best friends kitchen floor,
So I sit and wait and wonder,
"Does anyone else feel like me?"
I'm so over dosed on apathy and burnt out on sympathy

[Chorus]

Let the meaning slip away
Lost my faith in another day,
Self deprecation seems okay,
I never thought I'd make it anyway

[Chorus]

I'm my own worst enemy [x5]

I know I don't make things that easy,
Complication is my middle name,
It's not that easy for me,
I'm so afraid,
Can I say sorry?
For everything that comes along with me?
With all the disappointments,
I promise there is something worth keeping.
I don't deserve you for a moment,
What exactly do you see in me?
It must be from the inside,
The surface has just deepened
Can I say I'm sorry?
For everything that comes along with me,
With all the disappointments,
I promise there is something worth keeping.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
I'm sorry for the person that I could never be,
It's been so hard to show you,
The one you'd like to see,
I'm sorry for the weakness,
I wish I could be strong,
I hope someday that I can make up all that I've done.
All I've done
So just carry on.
can I say I'm sorry?
For everything that comes along with me?
With all the disappointments,
I promise there is something worth keeping,
Catch me now I'm falling,
Short of everything,
I'm trying to be,
And it's time to notice,
I promise there is something worth keeping

They stand to fight for nothing
And show how stupid we've become
As fortune favours only
Those who care too much to see

It will never be okay
If Some will say

We stand to fight for nothing
So close your eyes and stay away
But don't believe their headlines
They poison our minds every day

It will never be the same
With purpose buried everyday
And lies that lead you to the grave
As Some will say,

And it will never be okay
As some will say,
With purpose buried everyday
As some will say,
lies that lead you to the grave
As some will say...
your revolution is a joke
...As I will say

This island has become an ocean
and my boat's too small.
The waves are crashing in
and I can't save this sinking ship.

I sent out signal flares,
but no one out there seems to care.
Now the voice inside my head
is the only thing that I have left.

This is the part where I'll admit
I'm getting what I deserve.

And now I'm lost at sea,
I'm drowning in what I won't be.
I'm haunted by the sound.
(sweet sound of my last breath)

20 days at sea,
My skin is blistered from the heat.
I can beg and I can plead
What I get is never what I need.

This is the part where I'll admit,
I'm getting what I deserve.

And now I'm lost at sea;
I'm drowning in what I won't be.
I'm haunted by the sound.
(sweet sound of my last breath)

And now I'm lost at sea,
I'm drowning in what I won't be.
I'm haunted by the sound.
(sweet sound of my last breath)

Whoa oh oh Whoa whoa oh
I'm going down I'm going down
Whoa oh oh Whoa whoa oh
I'm going down I'm going down

This is the part where I'll admit,
I'm getting what I deserve.

And now I'm lost at sea,
I'm drowning in what I won't be.
I'm haunted by the sound.
(sweet sound of my last breath)

And now I'm lost at sea,
I'm drowning in what I won't be.
I'm haunted by the sound.
(sweet sound of my last breath)

Tell me what's wrong with society
When everywhere I look I see
Young girls dying to be on TV
They wont stop 'til they've reached their dreams

Diet pills, surgery
Photoshop pictures in magazines
Telling them how they should be
It doesn't make sense to me

Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong

I guess things are not how they used to be
There's no more normal families
Parents act like enemies
Making kids feel like it's world war III

No one cares, no one's there
I guess we're all just too damn busy
Money's our first priority
It doesn't make sense to me

Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong

Is everybody going crazy?
Is everybody going crazy?

Tell me what's wrong with society
When everywhere I look I see
Rich guys driving big SUV's
While kids are starving in the streets
No one cares
No one likes to share
I guess life's unfair

Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something

something is wrong
Is everybody going Crazy?
Can anybody tell me what's going on
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong

When I'm lying in your bed play the motions through my head
you know that I'm thinking, I'm thinking...
that I have reasons to believe that I'm not the only
one you spend this time with, but I'll stay...

[Chorus]
You say...your weak,
you wont let me down [x2]
you lie through your teeth
you smile in your sleep [x2]

When we met you said we were the same, you know
that we're different, we're different,
and all the times you promised me that everything would
work out in the end, you were gravely mistaken

[Chorus]

You lie [x4], you lie through your teeth
you wont let me down, and you lie
I deserve better than this

I dream of steel.
Maroon and warm, your end, your end..
You gasp for air. I'll see this through,
I'll see through you, your pale, your pale, your pale blue eyes.


when you're lying in your bed, your eulogy's been read
you know that it's fitting, you lie

[Chorus]

You smile [x4] I deserve better than this.

YouTube - What hurts the most Lyrics

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let ?em out

I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while even though
Goin' on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm okay
But that's not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away

And never knowin'
What could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losin' you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' it
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still harder gettin' up, gettin' dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And havin' so much to say
(Much to say)
And watchin' you walk away

And never knowin'
What could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do, oh
Oh yeah

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And havin' so much to say
(To say)
And watchin' you walk away

And never knowin'
What could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do

Not seein' that lovin' you
That's what I was trying to do, ooo

Favourite band at the moment, mostly because the lead singer/songwriter has anxiety/depression problems himself, so i can relate to a lot of the lyrics.

This must be it, welcome to the New Year
The drinks were consumed, the plants were destroyed, and the auderves dismantled.
I'm not smiling behind this fake veneer.
I am often interrupted or completely ignored.
But most of all I'm bored.

I'm trying to find out if my words have any meaning
Lack luster and full of contempt.
When it always end the same
Why won't you listen to me?

Why did I come, oh why did I come here?
These humans all suck.
I'd rather be home feeling violent and lonely.
I'm not trying to sound so insincere
But the postcard that's taped the freezer reads:
Wish you were here.
How I wish I could disappear.

I'm trying to find out if my words have any meaning
Lack luster and full of contempt.
When it always end the same.
Heads up, damage control, there's a ring around her finger.
Last chance for changing lanes and you missed it by a mile.

Why won't she listen to me?
This must be it, welcome to the New Year.


pretty much how im feeling at the moment.

One of those songs thats sad, but has got me through some pretty depressing times. Like an inspiring kind of sadness.
YouTube - Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here


So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys 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 heros 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.
