Anyone of these lines from Don't it make my brown eyes blue, Crystal Gale.
Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies
Give me no reasons, Give me alibis.
Tell me you love me and don't make me cry
Say anything but don't say goodbye.

I used to love this BTW but now it reminds me of some of those pathetic posts on MN. "I do all the housework, childcare and pay all the bills. He does nothing but smoke weed, I love him though and can't leave"

I struggle to type this one.. if you know why, you know why...

"And you can have it all, My empire of dirt, I will let you down, I will make you hurt.." Johnny Cash - Hurt (I know it's a cover but it's so so heartbreaking and one of the greatest songs to ever be recorded.)

Do I really see what's in her mind?
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing

Ok it's two lines, but still. 'Slipping through my fingers - Abba'

I think it describes parenting well - just when you think you've figured it out, they change again and you're left chasing understanding of the new phase.

One song I can't listen to without crying. I wish someone had warned me it was in Mamma Mia. I was a blubbering mess
