Lines that break your heart

I'm just watching a Queen documentary on tv.

Many songs move me, but no single lyric breaks my heart like "I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all" Sad. The utter, desolate sadness of that simple statement, socks me every time I hear it.

I love Harry Chapin's singing / song writing.
He was sooo talented and sadly died too young. He should have been a major star.

An old one, and one I'd not listened for ages until the other day. The last lines of "Family Snapshot" by Peter Gabriel:

Come back mum and dad
You're growing apart
You know that I'm growing up sad
I need some attention
I shoot into the light

Mother- John Lennon, it absolutely destroys me Sad

I am a rock
I am an island
And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries
Neil Diamond

Take my breath away
Through the hourglass I saw you
In time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you
And turned to hear you say
If only for today
Berlin

Ooh, walk with me
I'm a million miles away from who I wanna be
Don't give up on me
I know I've made mistakes, just promise that you'll stay
Walk with me
And tell me that I'm never alone, never alone
Tell me, 'cause I'm tired of walking alone

Walk with me - Mans Zelmerlow

I love this. And I hope one day I find someone to walk with me, but I genuinely feel that I'm unlovable. I've had years of therapy to try and come to terms with my upbringing, I'm a strong person and I have great friends. That song makes me cry and realise how much I want someone to be there for me.

These miss you nights
Are the longest......

Buy the sky and sell the sky
And lift your arms up to the sky
And ask the sky, and ask the sky
Fall on me (what is it up in the air for)

Paramore The Only Exception

When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart and I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my mama swore that she would
Never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist
But, darling
You are the only exception

I don’t know if it’s hormonal but every time I watch Lilo and Stitch with dd I cry!
“Our family's little now, and we don't have many toys... But if you want, you could be a part of it. You could be our baby, and we'd raise you to be good”
