Saddest breaking up song?

[Clawdy]

Listened to Roy Orbison's "Crying" this morning, such a sad breakup song. What's your favourite breakup song, one that really gets to your heart?

I thought of a few, but then I remembered this. I first heard it when I was going through heartbreak, and it hit me right it gut. Such a sad song

I've Lost You - Elvis. That line - "Who can point the moment love grows cold?"

She’s Gone by Hall and Oates.

Old Tennessee by Dan Fogelberg. Such a beautiful song.

Chicago - Hard habit to break

Just been reminded how much I loved my Bluetones album. I’ve just downloaded it. Got knows what’s happened to my CD copy but I haven’t got a CD player anymore anyway, everything’s bluetoothed off the phone.

Sweet Bitter Love - Aretha Franklin

Slightly different angle but 'There she goes' by The Las. Played repeatedly by my ex but realised very soon he wasn't thinking about me but his fling. Totally broke my heart.

U2 Redhill Town: I remember writing the lyrics at the back of my uni folder after the lad I thought I would marry dumped me after 15 months. I was 18 and absolutely heartbroken for 9 months after that. Seemed massive at the time. Been married to someone else for 26 years now!
Banger of a tune though! Here's a snippet:

Yeah you leave me holding on
In Red Hill town
See lights go down, I'm
Hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to

The glass is cut
The bottle run dry
Our love runs cold
In the caverns of the night
We're wounded by fear
Injured in doubt
I can lose myself
You I can't live without
Yeah you keep me holding on
In Red Hill town
See the lights go down on

I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
Hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to, on to

Thanks to the PP for doing the spotify playlist - now listening!

Hang on, what Spotify playlist??

Bee Gees -Alone

All I Want - Kodaline

Very much for in the wallowing stages of a break up but a beautiful song!

Others for me are;
Daddy's Gone (Acoustic) - Glasvegas
Skinny Love - Bon Iver (although Birdys cover is beautiful)
Youth - Daughter

And thank you to the PP who reminded me of Joan Armatrading and helped me rediscover the 10 things I hate about you soundtrack!

Beautiful and haunting song.

If You Could Read My Mind by Gordon Lightfoot.

I died for you by Iced Earth.
Love this song.

The script- exit wounds
Ronan leafing. Last thing on my mind
Usher-burn
Akon- no more you
Akon- come back to me
Chris brown- say goodbye

For The Good Times - think it was written by Kris Kristofferson, love the version by Dean Martin.

Those lyrics......heartbreaking!

I try - Macy Gray
