Lines that break your heart

[nordstrom]

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" . The utter, desolate sadness of that simple statement, socks me every time I hear it.

@Deadringer I agree. Those two basic words.

Yes, so many Queen lyrics @theluckiest

And I need you more than I want you, and I want you for all time.

@MissClareRemembers I adore Landslide.

Bloody hell @Dowser, you've made me sob my heart out!!!

My brother committed suicide in 2016.

He used to play sittin on the dock of the bay on his guitar.

"Looks like nothin's gonna change
Everything seems to stay the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same
I'm sittin' here restin' my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
This two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home
Now I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
I'm wastin' time"

Sleeping under a table in a roadside park
A man could wake up dead
But it sure seems warmer than it did sleeping in our Kingsize bed."

From is anybody going to San Antone

These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

From 'My immortal', but actually every line breaks my heart.

@TwistinMyMelon that's is so sad.

I used to select the same four songs on the jukebox at uni; I am The Resurrection - Stone Roses, Lola - The Kinks, Wicked Game - Chris Isaac and Sittin’ On The Dock of The Bay - Otis Redding

Wicked Game reminds me painfully of an ex boyfriend from uni who died a couple of years ago.

"Lover, when will you? I'm so afraid that no one cares. Lover can't find you, I swear to God don't leave me here"

Said Sadly by the Smashing Pumpkins

I agree with The Railway Children one.

Also in Gavin & Stacey when they are struggling to conceive and she says "it's ever so sad isn't it" 😢😢😢 we were going through the same the first time I saw that and it gets me every time.

"But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you...." The Beatles "In My Life"

For me it’s the changed lyric in “I’ve been waiting for you” by ABBA in mamma Mia- here we go again. I was pregnant, high risk and terrified when I heard it; and boy did it resonate.
“I'll carry you all the way
And you will choose the day
When you're prepared to greet me
I'll be a good mum, I swear
You'll see how much I care
When you meet me“

Also sitting here bawling! Feeding the 6 month old,
Contemplating my father being seriously ill and realising that, just like me, my baby won’t know her grandparents. And just like me, it is the grandad who has so much to give, who truly adores her that is slipping away. My heart is breaking. Sorry.

PoppingOneOutIn2020 I am so sorry

And the waitress is practising politics
As the businessman slowly gets stoned
And they’re sharing a drink called loneliness
Which is better than drinking alone.

Agree with Queen lyrics.
The very last line from 'Save Me'

I'm naked and I'm far from home..

" I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a lot of strength left"

" I should be crying but I just can let it show

Kate Bush

To add to the heartbreaking Queen lyrics, pretty much the entirety of Mother Love:

I've walked too long in this lonely lane
I've had enough of this same old game
I'm a man of the world and they say that I'm strong
But my heart is heavy, and my hope is gone
Out in the city, in the cold world outside
I don't want pity, just a safe place to hide
Mama please, let me back inside
I don't want to make no waves
But you can give me all the love that I crave
I can't take it if you see me cry
I long for peace before I die

Especially the last verse, sung by Brian because Freddie didn't get chance to finish it 💔

My cousin died recently age 32 and they played his favourite song to do karaoke to at his funeral. The place was rammed and people had to stand outside, I think we all held it together until the song started, and I lost it completely

"And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I've travelled each and every highway
But more, much more than this
I did it my way"

A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal

Radiohead - No alarms....

Huge hugs to everyone and their sadness.

It doesn't make me sob now, but for about a year following the birth of DC3 (rare genetic condition) "I am woman" (Helen Reddy) used to be the tear jerker.

'Yes I am wise, but it's wisdom born in pain
Yes I've paid the price,
but look at what I've gained.
If I have to, I can do anything'

Also swapped the word woman to mother. So my lyrics are "I am mother hear me roar."

Hear me roar indeed!!!

Every single sentence in 'Do not stand at my grave and weep' poem.

Cant even think about it without welling up!

@Redannie118 that is so sad. I hope your life is better now.
My sad lyrics are
" Something told me it was over when I saw you and her talking. Something deep in my soul said cry girl" from I would Rather Go Blind by Etta Stewart.
"What happened to the wonderful adventures. The places I had planned for us to go. Well, some of them we did but most we didn't and why I just don't know ."from Slipping Through my Fingers by Abba.
"Take your time ,think a lot ,think of everything you've got , for you will still be here tomorrow but your dreams may not." from Father and Son by Cat Stevens.

The national - I need my girl

'Davie said that I look taller, I can't wrap my head around it, I keep feeling smaller and smaller'
