Sad Love Songs
Have you ever been through a bad breakup? Have you ever gotten your heart stepped on by a member of the opposite sex? Ever felt you were the only one in the world who ever felt that way? Well, here's a bunch of songs that have helped me to know that there are more people out there who have been through the same things I've been through. They're pretty sad, but when you read them, you just might find yourself identifying with the musicians who wrote them.
Now, I'd like you to keep in mind that these songs were not written by me. I cannot take the credit for such masterpieces. And if you like how the lyrics sound, by all means, go to Napster and download the song. And if you like the song as well, please give these artists the support they deserve and purchase the cd. Thanks and enjoy...
Olympic
by Millencolin
Could it be I'm the lonely one
That made everything so upside down now
Could it be all the lies I told
That gave nightmares to me after an Olympic day
You said everything was fine
But I saw you through
And I knew that I was just as bad as you
Never said I would give you up
But if I must then tell me why now
Never said I believed in all those things I've heard
About you from those rumors now
I thought everything was fine
But you proved me wrong
And I was taken by surprise
Don't like me, don't like me
Don't you know I'm good for nothing
Don't like me, that's what I told you when I called you up
Don't like me, don't like me
Don't you know I'm good for nothing
Don't like me, whatever I may say to make you feel that way
Could it be I'm the lonely one
That turned everything so upside down now
Could it be that you told me that
You still loved me that made me change so quickly now
I heard me when you called
Don't like me, don't like me
Don't you know I'm good for nothing
Don't like me, that's what you told me when you called me up
Don't like me, don't like me
Don't you know I'm good for nothing
Don't like me, even though inside I know I want you too
Didn't want to tell you what to do
Erased
by Piebald
Why are we separated by our actions?
Why are we separated by our actions?
All the things we had before
All the things I won't forget
How can you let them go?
It hurts to see that you don't care
I'll look back upon the times
And see things I could have done
Well maybe it's my fault
I wish I saw you now, friend
I think about you
And the times I've lost
But now it's all gone
Do you think of me?
Or am I forgotten?
Or I'm just erased
ERASED
Memories destroy me
ERASED
Rip me up, tear me down
ERASED
I will remember you
ERASED
Time has passed now you're gone
A Letter To Elise
by The Cure
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same
The way we act out
Every way to smile forget
And make believe we never needed
Anymore than this
Anymore than this
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do
I know I'll never really get inside of you
To make your eyes catch fire the way they should
The way the blue could pull me in
If they only would
If they only would
At least I'd lose this sense of sensing
Something else that hides away
From me and you they're worlds to part
With aching looks and breaking hearts
And all the prayers your hands can make
Oh I just take as much as you can throw
And then throw it all away
Oh I throw it all away
Like throwing faces at the sky
Like throwing arms around
Yesterday I stood and stared wide-eyed in front of you
And the face I saw looked back the way I wanted to
But I just can't hold my tears away the way you do
Elise, believe I never wanted this
I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about
But I let the dream go
And the promises broke, the make believe ran out
So Elise it doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same
The way we act out
Everyway to smile, forget
And make believe we never needed
Anymore than this
Anymore than this
And everytime I try to pick it up
Like falling sand
As fast as I pick it up
It runs away from my clutching hands
But there's nothing else I can really do
There's nothing else I can really do
There's nothing else I can really do at all...
Soma
by The Smashing Pumpkins
Nothing left to say
And all I've left to do
Is run away from you
And she led me on down
With secrets I can't keep
Close your eyes and sleep
Don't wait up for me
Hush now don't you speak to me
Wrapped my hurt in you
And took my shelter in that pain
The opiate of blame
Is your broken heart, heart, your heart
So now I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
And I'll betray my tears
To anyone caught in our ruse of fools
One last kiss for me, yeah
One last kiss goodnight
Didn't want to lose you once again
Didn't want to be a friend
Fulfilled a promise made of tin
And crawled back to you
I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
And I'll betray myself
To anyone, lost, anyone but you
So let the sadness come again
On that you can depend on me
Until the bitter, bitter end of the world
God sleeps in bliss
The World Has Turned And Left Me Here
by Weezer
The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place, an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
I just made love to your sweet memory
One thousand times in my head
You said you loved me more than ever
You said
You remain turned away
Turning further everyday
The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place, an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
I talked for hours to your wallet photograph
And you just listened
You laughed enchanted by my intellect
Or maybe you didn't
Do you believe what I sing now?
Jupiter's Lament
by The Smashing Pumpkins
Gone, long gone
Blink and I'll be gone, gone, gone
Leave this world all wrong, wrong, wrong
Leave it far behind
And although my secret's gone
I'll try to carry on
If I must, I'll get along without you
Gone, long gone
Leave this world all wrong, wrong, wrong
Beyond the pale beyond the dawn
Free these mortal bonds
No one knows I can't be wrong
So I'll sing the same old songs
And I'll try to be stong for you
Why have you left me
Amongst the tall trees?
I know I gave her all I had
And I tied her heart in ribbons
Tied her heart in ribbons
Tied her heart in ribbons and bows
And I'm gone
Oh yes I'm gone
And I'm lost without you
I'm lost within you
And I'm gone
So gone
Long gone
Just Like Heaven
by The Cure
"Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it
And I promise you
I promise that I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face
I kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had to make her glow
"Why are you so far away?" she said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you"
You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, strange as angels dancing in the deepest ocean
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone, alone
Alone above the raging sea
That stole the only girl I love
And drowned her deep inside of me
Jellygoose
by Millencolin
You know the times when I am lost and confused
I lose control and I find you to abuse
I feel like shit now 'cause it's getting to me
I treat you like someone I don't want to be
I talk to myself and say that you're outstanding
Then you call me up and I explain how I am sorry again
It's not the first time our love seems to be fading
But we're still here and same things we're defending
You leave me now and there will be no happy ending
We can at least try to pretend
We share a bed when we could share so much more
If we just could talk things out I'd sleep on the floor
I want to give you all respect that I can
It can be hard 'cause I'm just a boy not a man
You have a point when you suggest it's not that simple
I guess you're right, 'cause there's many things on a plow
It's not the first time our love seems to be fading
But we're still here and same things we're defending
You leave me now and there will be no happy ending
We can at least try to pretend
I need a rest right now
From myself and everyone
I've got to focus my mind on you
'Cause you're the one I love
Buzzer
by Millencolin
Take your silly words and listen to yourself
'Cause I'm living my life tonight
And nothing's going to hurt me
Can't you understand that I can be myself
Without everything, without anything, without any help from you
We're not having fun
We never really laughed
We have to get things right
Before we end ourselves
What about me?
Do you care enough to say
That I can't live my life this way
And you don't understand?
What about me?
Am I the one who's going down?
'Cause sometimes I can't find myself
And I'm wondering if that is really me
I remember those days when we first met
How different things were then
With no heartache and no pain
But now things change so fast
And we must take the time to talk things over
And listen to our minds
This Time
by The Smashing Pumpkins
This time I need to know
I really must be told if it's over
It's up to you you know
The things you want to hold are in pieces
Crashing down, crashing down again
Crashing down, crashing down my friend
I've got to move it on
I've got to sing my song while I still can
Dispatch the last alarms
Hand out the last few charms, there's no surprises
Only love, only love will win
Crashing down, crashing down again
This time I need to know
I really must be told that it's over
I've lived my life alone
My every step foretold to never linger
And yet it haunts me so
What are we letting go?
The spell is broken
Crashing down, crashing down again
Crashing down, crashing down my friend
For every chemical you trade a piece of your soul
With no return
And who you think you know doesn't know you at all
Their drain is needless
Someday we'll wave hello and wish we never waved goodbye
To this romance
We'll drink up every line and shoot up every word
Until there's no more
So cry these tears
We'll cry as all
We've held so long
To fall apart
As the curtain falls
We bid you all goodnight
You Complete Me
by Stabbing Westward
I am lost in the darkness
Between two worlds and here I'm struggling
You're the light that I've been seeking
Because my whole life there's been something missing
Only you can make me whole
Just one touch and you complete me
Only you can make me whole
Just one touch and you complete me
Rescue me from this black hole
That sucked me in and left me dying
You're the truth that I've been seeking
Because my whole life I've been lying
God I pray you find my worthy
Of the right to stand beside you
And of your truth and of your passion
Of the right to sleep beside you
Only you can make me whole
Just one touch and you complete me
Only you can make me whole
Just one touch and you complete me
On The Outside
by No Use For A Name
I'll see you on the outside
And we'll never be the same
After all that's happened what is it that we've gained?
Well I've made mistakes before
And never lived them down
After all you've done for me I'm bound
Don't say another word
To see you on the outside
Where we can both be sane
You're speaking for yourself
I'm bleeding on the inside
A place you might have been
But now I know I'll never be the same
Well I heard you've got a new place and it's far away from here
Reality has sunken in now confirming all my fears
I'm not going to track you down and it's too late to stop
Thinking about the time that we have lost
I'm happy without you
I'm trying to forget you and everything we had
We didn't stand a chance
We're miserable and it's true I haven't learned a thing
But now I know I'll trust no one else
There was a time when we were back and forth, it wasn't easy
I guess we're back where we belong
One thing is for sure it wasn't strong
I'll see you on the outside
Where we can both feel shame
You've never been more right
I'm dying on the inside
You're never coming back
And now I know whatever we go through
My heart is stuck with you
Today Is In My Way
by MxPx
It breaks my heart, it makes me sad
To think of all the times we had
You made me laugh, you made me cry
And all that I can do is sigh
And wonder why
How will I get through tomorrow
If I can't make it through today?
How will I get through tomorrow
When today is in my way?
Today is in my way
What's done is done and in the past
Good things come and go so fast
You looked up at me and said goodbye
All that I could do was sigh
And wonder why
How will I get through tomorrow
If I can't make it through today?
How will I get through tomorrow
When today is in my way?
Today is in my way
I deserve all that I get
Serves me right I will admit
And today just won't go away
The Tale of Dusty and Pistol Pete
by The Smashing Pumpkins
Dusty screams through doors
And imaginary floors
Why can't you miss me?
Pistol Pete removes the final breaths from her, unkind
And she is shaking
What does this mean
In love or in peace?
With you lying next to me
So faithless serene
And she calls to him
Let the waste cross the ancient trails to you
Far out beneath the sorrow clouds
Let them taste the bitter lost mistake of you
Let them cry out through your rusted scars
Alone he roams inside the ordinary catacombs of her waiting
With raven hands she steals and staggers towards her man
Still scorned by his demon
Because he's undone
Become the language of
Disaster and love
Vengance and dust
And she calls to him...
Let the waste cross the ancient trails to you
Far out beneath the sorrow clouds
Let them taste the bitter lost mistake of you
Let them cry out through your rusted scars
Dusty screams through doors and imaginary scenes
Of hurt and teardrop
As he holds her down
In the cold lonely wind
To gather again
Her inside him
And she calls to him...
Let the waste cross the ancient trails to you
Far out beneath the sorrow clouds
Let them taste the bitter lost mistake of you
Let them cry out through your rusted scars
Maybe Someday
by The Cure
No, I won't do it again, I don't want to pretend
If it can't be like before I've got to let it end
I don't want what I was, I had a change of head
But maybe someday...
I've got to let it go and leave it gone
Just walk away, stop it going on
Get too scared to jump if I wait too long
But maybe someday...
I'll see you smile as you call my name
Start to feel and it feels the same
And I know that maybe someday's gone
Maybe someday's come again
No I won't do it some more, doesn't make any sense
If it can't be like it was, I've got to let it rest
I don't want what I did, I had a change of tense
But maybe someday...
I'll see you smile as you call my name
Start to feel and it feels the same
And I know that maybe someday's gone
Maybe someday's come
If I could do it again maybe just once more
Think I could make it work like I did it before
If I could try it out
If I could just be sure
That maybe someday is the last time
Yeah maybe someday is the end
Oh maybe someday when it all stops
Or maybe someday always comes again
Crestfallen
by The Smashing Pumpkins
Who am I to need you when I'm down?
And 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
Who am I?
Never Say Goodbye
by The Impossibles
Some summer sunday
Drifting between sleep and waking
Your absence brought me to
Sick feelings filled me
Slowly remembering
The bitterness of the final kiss
Motionless
We never said goodbye when we gave in
But we don't mind
If we never say goodbye there will be no end
There will be no end
Stream of consciousness
Leads me to drowning dreams
Looking up you're colored baby blue
The frustration of
Knowing what it's like
To breathe you in
Remember when you let me in
We never said goodbye when we gave in
But we don't mind
If we never say goodbye there will be no end
There will be no end
Pictures of You
by The Cure
I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believed that they are real
I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel
Remembering you standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering you running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and whiter than snow
Screamed at the make-believe, screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage to let it all go
Remembering you fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone-white, so delicate, lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering you how you used to be
So drowned you were angels, so much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes, but I never see anything
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held onto your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you
There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you
You Vandal
by Saves The Day
Last night I dreamt you called
From Costa Rica
The place you've been the last two weeks
You said "I miss you oh sweet boy
would you come on down?"
I woke up to my cold sheets and the smell of New Jersey
When do I get to wake up to you?
Tonight I can't forget that I've got these open wounds
It's such a drag
I can't forget you've gone
Well, my ribs have parted ways
They said "We're not going to protect this heart you have"
What can I do?
My lungs are breathing open air
My spleen is dripping from my pants
What can I do?
You left me in the cold
And I miss you
You never told me it would be this hard
I think my body's saying so
When you're not here it's got to go
It's leaving me
But I hope that you're ok
Even though I'm dying
I hope that you're still trying to have a killer time
Go see the volcanoes
Go see the rainforest
I'll be fine by myself
Yeah, I'll be fine without these bones
Olympic (by Millencolin)
