Colin Ray - Love, Me could possibly be the saddest song ever. It could make Santa Claus cry.
I am going to cry hearing it now.... then I will put in D-12

I Love that song! It is sad, but also somewhat comforting to know that other people feel that way too I guess.

that's a great song, psh...especially if you've ever really loved someone and lost them for any reason...
here are the lyrics for those that don't know:
I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me. He said,
"Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but I loved your Grandma so."
We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together.
Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever.
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead
Of her, I found this letter, and this is what it said:
If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long I'll be.
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.
I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away,
In the doorway of a church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray.
I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years;
But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears.
If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long I'll be.
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.
Between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.
much more moving in his song form.

those are sad lyrics phsheddy and Kane. Now for some reason this song gets me crying. I seriously think about my own mother in this song. And no I have no reason to believe she is going anywhere. She is in Her late 30's and in good health, but this song gets me everytime.
GILBERT OSULLIVAN LYRICS
ALONE AGAIN (NATURALLY) LYRICS
Oh in a little while from now
if I'm not feeling anyless sour
I promise myself to treat myself
and visit a nearby tower
and climbing to the top
will throw myself off
in an effort to make it clear
to whoever what it's like when you're shattered
left standing in the lurch at a church
where people saying 'my god
that's tough she's stood him up
no point in us remainig
we may as well go home'
as I did on my own
alone again naturally.
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerrful
bright and gay
looking forward to well who wouldn't do
the role I was about to play
but as if to knock me down
reality came around
and without so much
as a mere touch
cut me into little pieces
leaving me to doubt talk about
god in his mercy who if
he really does exist
why did he desert me in my hour of need
I truly am indeed
alone again naturally.
It seems to me that there are more hearts
broken in the world that can't be mended
left unattended what do we do what do we do
alone again naturally.
Now looking back over the years
and whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
never wishing to hide the tears
and at sixty-five years old
my mother
God rest her soul
couldn't understand why
the only man she had ever loved had been taken
so badly broken despite
encouragemant from me no words were ever spoken
and when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
alone again naturally.

dunno if it´s the saddest ever, but pearl jams - alive is a very sad song...
i mean,
son, she said, have i got a little story for you.
what you thought was your daddy,
was nothing but a...
while, you were sitting,
home alone at age 13,
your real daddy was dying,
sorry you didn´t see him...
but i´m glad we talked...
and so on...

no sorry, your all wrong, the saddest song ever is "You Know Your Right" by Nirvana. If you dont know anything about Kurt then you might not think its sad, but this song was the last one he wrote before his suicide. You can see and feel the pain he is overcome with by listening to this song.
I would never bother you
I would never promise to
I would never follow you
I would never bother you
Never speak a word again
I will crawl away for good
I will move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
No thought was put into this
Always knew it would come to this
Things have never been so swell
I have never felt this well
Pain! (x3)
You know you're right (x3)
I'm so warm and calm inside
I no longer have to hide
Let's talk about someone else
Sterling silver begins to melt
Nothing really bothers her
She just wants to love herself
I will move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
No thought was put into this
Always knew it would come to this
Things have never been so swell
I have never felt this well
Pain! (x5)
You know you're right (x17)
Pain ...

I think that one of the saddest songs I have ever heard is Concrete Angel, by Martina McBride i think. The vid really chokes me up. It's about this lil girl that is abused, and one night her mom goes to far and kills her. I don't know, maybe you have 2 hear it, it has a stronger affect on you then...here's the lyrics:
She walks to school with the lunch she packed,
Noboby knows what she's holdin' back,
Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday,
She hides the bruises with linen and lace.
The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask,
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask,
Bearing the burden of a secret storm,
Sometimes she wishes she was never born.
CHORUS:
Through the wind and the rain,
She stands hard as a stone,
In a world that she can't rise above,
But her dreams give her wings,
And she flies to a place where she's loved,
Concrete angel.
Somebody cries in the middle of the night,
The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights,
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate,
When morning comes it'll be too late.
REPEAT CHORUS
A statue stands in a shaded place,
An angel girl with an upturned face,
A name is written on a polished rock,
A broken heart that the world forgot.
REPEAT CHORUS

the saddest song ive heard in a long time has got to be 'nothing to lose' by Billy Talent. heres the lyrics:
Need more friends with wings
All the angels I know
Put concrete in my veins
I’d always walk home alone
So I became lifeless
Just like my telephone
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
Never played truth or dare
I’d have to check my mirror
To see if I’m still here
My parents had no clue
That I ate all my lunches
Alone in the bathroom
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
There’s nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There’s nothing to gain
And I can’t fight the pain
Teach us that it’s just a phase
When I grow up my children
Will probably do the same
Kids just love to tease
I know it put me under ground
At seventeen
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
There’s nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There’s nothing to gain
And I can’t fight the pain
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
And I just died today

This is it as far as I'm concerned.
My Immortal - Evanescence
i'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all of my childish fears
and if you have to leave
i wish that you would just leave
because your presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone
these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me
you used to captivate me
by your resonating light
but now i'm bound by the life you left behind
your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me
i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
and though you're still with me
i've been alone all along

this is the saddest so ever, well maybe just me but they played it at a friends funeral
Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
here in heaven.
Would you hold my hand if I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand if I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day,
'Cause I know I just can't stay
here in heaven.
Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart, have you begging please,
begging please.
Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more
tears in heaven.
Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
here in heaven.

I feel that the saddest song is any new Metallica song. Any time I hear a new song of theirs and it sux beyond comparison it makes me sad that they threw away a loyal fan base to sell out...bitches.
heres REM,everybody hurts.
When the day is long and the night,
the night is yours alone,
When you’re sure you’ve had enough
of this life, well hang on.
Don’t let yourself go,
everybody cries
and everybody hurts sometimes.
Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it’s time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you’ve had too much
of this life, well hang on.
Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don’t throw your hand.
Oh, no. Don’t throw your hand.
If you feel like you’re alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you’re on your own
in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you’ve had too much
of this life to hang on.
Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.
heres the darkness by disturbed.
Don't turn away
I pray you've heard
The words I've spoken
Dare to believe
For one last time
And then I'll get the
Darkness cover me
Deny everything
Slowly walk away
To breathe again
On my own
Carry me away
I need your strength
To get me through this
Dare to believe
For one last time
And then I'll let the
Darkness cover me
Deny everything
Slowly walk away
To breathe again
On my own

I think the most depressing song is Daddy from KoRn, the whole song talks about how he(jonathan) was rape, hell jon was leterally crying at the end of the song. Also freak on leash was another sad one, that song is about how Jon lost his virginity to his dad raping him.

Well since I'm a slow songaholic this right here is one of the saddest ones. It is 112 - Your letter. It doesnt get sad until the end. It was pretty sad the first time I heard it because it took me by surprise. Listen to it.
I saw a letter lying on the floor
I couldn't help but look inside
Thought it was somethin that you must have left
Left there for me to find
All your words were on that page
All my dreams came true that day when i found
Your letter, your letter
It said you loved me but you didnt know the words to say
It said you never knew that you could ever feel this way
It said you only wish someday that I would feel the same
In your letter, your letter
I guess it just never occured to me
That you would feel the way I did
You kept the sweetest secret from my heart
You kept those feelings hid
Girl you never showed a sign
Or gave a clue to what I'd find inside
Your letter, your letter
It said you loved me but you didnt know the words to say
It said you never knew that you could ever feel this way
It said you only wish someday that I would feel the same
In your letter, your letter
I was so happy that I almost cried
To think that you would think of me that way
Its like you took my sweetest dream and made that dream come true
I would be with you always
I saw a name I didnt recognize
I felt the tears come to my eyes
Seems that the love that you've been longing for
Was not a love like mine
No you never showed a sign
But it was right there in the lines inside
Your letter your letter
It said you loved him but you didnt know the words to say
It said you never knew that you could ever feel this way
It said you only wish someday that he would feel the same
In your letter, your letter
I saw a letter laying on the floor

Gone to the movies by Semisonic. It always chokes me up. Damn I miss her.
Now the rain comes down the windows and it
Drops onto the forehead of the waiting boy
He surveys his rental kingdom and he
Wonders if he's really lost his one joy
Another fool would go down to the
Only place she ever went to lose herself
She's gone to the movies now and she
Don't need your help
Now the rain turns into snowfall as the
City sky reflects the silver street below
And it covers up the cars and the Wall-
Flowers cd ended half an hour ago
Another fool would dig the broken car out from the snow
And drive to find the show
She's gone to the movies now and she's
Not coming home
She's gone to the movies now and she's
Not coming home
Now he looks around his place and anyways
There's nowhere she could sit besides the bed
And he wonders if the car will start tomorrow
Or he'll have to take the bus instead
Any other fool would be out on the roadway
Trying to spot her rusted Pontiac
She's gone to the movies now and she's
Not coming back
She's gone to the movies now and she's
Not coming back

Screaming Infidelities by Dashboard Confessional. His girlfriend cheated on him. What can I say...I would be depressed...
I'm missing your bed
I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak
And this bottle of beast
Is taking me home
I'm cuddling close
To blankets and sheets
But you're not alone, and you're not discreet
Make sure I know who's taking you home
I'm reading your note over again
There's not a word that I comprehend
Except when you signed it,
"I will love you always and forever."
Well, as for now
I'm gonna hear the saddest songs
And sit alone and wonder
How you're making out
But as for me
I wish that I were anywhere with anyone
Making out
I'm missing your laugh
How did it break?
And when did your eyes begin to look fake?
I hope you're as happy as you 're pretending
I'm cuddling close
to blankets and sheets
and I am alone
In my defeat
I wish I knew you were safely at home
I'm missing your bed
I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak
And this bottle of beast
Is taking me home
Your hair, it's everywhere
Screaming infidelities
And taking its wear

Dream Theater - Space-Dye Vest
Falling through pages of Martens on angels
Feeling my heart pull west
I saw the future dressed as a stranger
love in a space-dye vest
Love is an act of blood and I'm bleeding
a pool in the shape of a heart
Beauty projection in the reflection
Always the worst way to start
Now that you're gone I'm trying to take it
Learning to swallow the rage
Found a new girl I think we can make it
as long as she stays on the page
This is not how I want it to end
And I'll never be open again
There's no one to take my blame
if they wanted to
There's nothing to keep me sane
and it's all the same to you
There's nowhere to set my aim
so I'm everywhere
Never come near me again
do you really think I need you
I'll never be open again, I could never be open again.
I'll never be open again, I could never be open again.
And I'll smile and I'll learn to pretend
And I'll never be open again
And I'll have no more dreams to defend
And I'll never be open again

I find the Ataris-The Saddest Song is a choker.
Only two more days, until your birthday
Yesterday was mine
You'll be turning five
I know what it's like, growing up without your father in your life
So I pretend, I'm doing all I can
And I hope someday you'll find it in your heart
To understand
Why I'm not around
And forgive me for not being in your life
I remember waiting
For you to come
Remember waiting
For you to call
Remember waiting there to find nothing at all
I remember waiting
For you to come
Remember waiting
For you to call
Waiting there to find nothing at all
maybe someday
you really get to know me
not just the letters read to you
I pray I get the chance
To make it up to you
We got a lot of catching up to do
So I pretend, I'm doing all I can
And hope someday you'll find it in your heart
To understand
Why I'm not around
And forgive me for not being in your life
I remember waiting
For you to come
Remember waiting
For you to call
Remember waiting there to find nothing at all
I remember waiting
For you to come
Remember waiting
For you to call
Waiting there to find nothing at all
Forgive me!
I'm so sorry!
I will make it up to you....

Saddest song I have heard lately has to be One More Day by Mushroomhead. It goes:
Cancelled compasion
This our ignorance
Smile everlasting
Much less eminenet
Daytime is everything
One more day to regret
One more day to regret
In my eyes i see
Free deleverance
Love everlasting
Such is punishment
You take me higher
Than the lowest place yet
One more day to regret
(one more day)
One more day to regret
(one more day to regret)
One more day to regret
(one more day,one more day)
You take me higher (one more day to regret)
Than the lowest place
You take me higher
Than the lowest place
(both) you take me higher
Than the lowest place yet
(than the lowest place yet)
(than the lowest place yet)
Cancelled compasion
This our ignorance
Smile everlasting
Much less eminenet
Daytime is everything
One more day to regret
One more day to regret
(one more day)
One more day to regret (one more day)
(one more day to regret)
One more day to regret
(one more day,one more day)
You take me higher (one more day to regret)
Than the lowest place
You take me higher (one more day)
Than the lowest place (one more day)
You take me higher (one more day to regret)
Than the lowest place yet (one more day to regret)
(one more day)
One more day to regret

You know you're right (x3)
I'm so warm and calm inside
I no longer have to hide
Let's talk about someone else
Sterling silver begins to melt
Nothing really bothers her
She just wants to love herself
I will move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
No thought was put into this
Always knew it would come to this
Things have never been so swell
I have never felt this well
Pain! (x5)
You know you're right (x17)
Pain ...
I completely agree with you here, but the people above arent wrong, they are merely stating their opinons.....
You Know You're Right is a sad song....but i think a sadder song is probably Verse Chorus Verse AKA Sappy
And if you say your prayers
You will make God happy
And if you do what's true
You will make me happy
I'll keep you in a jar
And you will seem happy
I'll give you breathing holes
You will think you're happy, now
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
And if you save yourself
You will make him happy
He'll bring you fine rewards
Then you will feel happy
I'll keep you in my room
I'm sure you'll be happy
And if you save your soul
You will think you're happy now
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
There are a lot of sad Nirvana songs..

GEN I totaly agree, already waiting till someone going to say that :d
some lyrics
"My girl, my girl, don't lie to me,
Tell me where did you sleep last night."
"In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine.
I would shiver the whole night through."
"My girl, my girl, where will you go?"
"I'm going where the cold wind blows.
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine.
I would shiver the whole night through."
Her husband, was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here.
His head was found in a driving wheel,
But his body never was found.
Hold me get some attention
Degrade me I'm fucking hungry
Help me I'm fucking corny
Gag me You make me vomit
Lie on your fucking resume
Big, special, it's very fucked up
People speaking every night
White light in your sight
What do you want
Cold, naked man, picked off his scabs, and
Fed them, to the pigeons
Help him, he's fuckin' cornered
Grade him, it might be fun
Hold me I'm fucking hungry
Help me I'm fucking hungry
Hold me I'm fucking hungry
Help me I'm fucking hungry

To the pigeons, help him

Cold naked man, you said you saw, fed them
to the pigeons help him, hes fucking cornered grade him
You might be right here *grunting noise*
Hold me, Im Fucking hungry
Hold me, Im fucking Hungry....ect

"Zombie" by The Cranberries is a really sad song, but not in the way that a lot of these other songs are sad. It really portrays the horrors of war.. and at a time like this, it's one of those songs that just makes you think about what's happening in the world. I think the lyrics alone don't do the song justice. You have to listen to the way it is sung to really "feel" it.
Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
But you see it's not me,
It's not my family
In your head, in your
head they are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head
In your head they are cryin'
In your head
Zombie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie
Another mother's breakin'
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head,
In your head they're still fightin'
With their tanks
In your head they are dyin'
In your head, in your head
Zombie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie

I agree that you can't tell anyone else that they're wrong about their choice - it's all horses for courses, I say. And so, this is my choice, I though tit was by R.E.M. the first time I heard it, but found it it was actually by a guy I'd never heard of. The song I'm thinking of is Gary Jules - "Mad World". It's off the Donnie Darko soundtrack. Man was that an awesome movie, anyway, here are the lyrics, without further ado:
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going no where
Going no where
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression
No expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen
Sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me
No one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me
Look right through me
And I find I kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world
*sigh* He's got such great voice, too. Ah, it always stops me and brings me down, a little, but it's kind of cathartic, so I guess it can't be all bad.

RedAlert, that is actually a Tears for Fears song that Gary Jules covered. I admit I like his version a lot, but I just wanted to mention that.

ok so maybe its just me but i think all country songs are sad. but the one i heard and automatically was like "awwww" was three wooden crosses by Randy Travis. it kinda shows you that no matter who your parents were or who they wanted you to be, you can always raise yourself up and be what you want and be on the top of your world.
A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher,
Ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico.
One was headed for vacation, one for higher education,
And two of them were searchin' for lost souls.
That driver never ever saw the stop sign.
An' eighteen wheelers can't stop on a dime.
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway,
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows.
I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you,
It's what you leave behind you when you go.
That farmer left a harvest, a home and eighty acres,
The faith an' love for growin' things in his young son's heart.
And that teacher left her wisdom in the minds of lots of children:
Did her best to give 'em all a better start.
An' that preacher whispered: "Can't you see the Promised Land?"
As he laid his blood-stained bible in that hooker's hand.
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway,
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows.
I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you,
It's what you leave behind you when you go.
That's the story that our preacher told last Sunday.
As he held that blood-stained bible up,
For all of us to see.
He said: "Bless the farmer, and the teacher, an' that preacher;
"Who gave this Bible to my mamma,
"Who read it to me."
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway,
Why there's not four of them, now I guess we know.
It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you,
It's what you leave behind you when you go.
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway

The saddest song ever is My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion. Hearing the first 5 words of thta song gets me teary eyed. Its just so beautiful.... she will ALWAYS love him! ALWAYS!
Another sad one is D12 Good Die Young. The song is about one of their members, Bugz, who was killed before they made it in the business. Its so sad because its all real. It just really makes you feel for them, especially casue of all their other tracks are mainly goofy or hard. its also pretty sad becasue before he died, he asked the group to let in Swifty, and he mentions that in his verse (the last one).
Kon Artis - Chorus]
They say that the good die young,
thats why I think that you should have fun (when your young).
Cause time won't wait for no one,
when God calls, you gotta go home.
They say the good die young, (die young),
that's why I know that we gon' have fun.
In this life cause you only get one.
When God calls for me, don't cry I just went home.
[Kon Artis]
It's true that everybody heard, there mama say everyday's like this,
when you see, one of your friends die in the mist.
In the struggle, until the circumstances
it's a risk that they take, just to prove a point to a friend.
Even then, accidents are prone to happen to any man,
or woman that's dumb enough to pretend.
That her, God won't hold them accountable for sins
If they commit, and they try to repent themselves to repent.
But I guess (thats just the way things go),
I was blessed to see 24.
To wake up to that how "My Name Is" video,
motivated me to write what I wrote.
And I knew my little brother sold dope,
and mom and daddy want to move off Ro'.
I did it, I still got a lot to prove and show,
I just wish we aint have to lose Bugz to the struggle
Cause you know...
[Chorus]
[Bizarre]
I know you used to Bizarre on some silly shit,
but niggas in my clique is dying quick.
In Detroit, niggas don't party,
they pull a four-fo out, snatch off bacardis.
Thats why I keep the pistol under the trunk,
I'm 27 years old, too old to be gettin' jumped.
And fuck rap, I miss Carnell Pitts,
B-U-G-Z, tattered on my wrist.
Me and you in the Jeep, listen to swing ol' beats,
it's a shame me and Fuzz don't even speak.
I got married, my wife name is Dee,
peace to 31 and 51-50, I miss you.
[Kuniva]
I remember back on that tragic day, my phone rung,
and Bizarre's voice tellin' me, Bugz was gone home.
It was like a knife piercing my chest and I couldn't breath,
I didn't wanna accept it, didn't wanna believe it.
And I swear with this weight dawg, I cried so hard
literally, Denaun had to carry me to the car.
While I stand in this booth now its tearin' me apart
but I had to let it out cause it was tearin' at my heart.
Cause he died over somethin so petty and so small,
a human life is so very precious. I hope ya'll
understand how I'm feelin' cause I love you Bugz.
I wanna rhyme wit' you, laugh wit' you, hug you Bugz.
But I can't and you was so close to seein' dreams,
a coward came along and took you away from the team.
So don't mistake this track, it's just another song.
This goes out to everyone who lost a loved one
cause you know. . .
[Chorus]
[Proof]
They say it's never too late to have an early childhood,
if I could turn back the hands of time, God should.
Forgive what I did as a kid to run blocks,
now my dreams are just screams, cops, and gun shots.
The fun stops when your homie's up in a box,
My dude E-Bole, rest his soul, snuffed by the cops.
I use to quartion'(?) a lot, if there's a guy by me say somethin'.
If you love her so much why didn't you gave nothin'?
When he took my homie, Snook was only in 11th grade,
now I hope to see your face at the heaven gates.
It ain't never late in the game, this hatin' remains,
with a grudge to see slugs break through my frame.
My heart aches with the pain, the life in his breath,
we gotta have fun now, theres only minutes left.
In the depth, distress young as a ? did
to get ? off my fallen homies who ain't got enough years.
I miss y'all.
[Chorus]
[Swifty]
When I was younger I knew four brothers that wasn't wise.
That crash and the driver died,
my partner on the passenger side was paralyzed.
And I'm surprised by the look of that ride that the other peeps survived.
Nine months later another one died,
somebody shot him in the side when he was startin' up his ride.
3 years go by, I made a hell of a run,
and thats when Funky got done, Joey playin' wit' guns,
and Tookie over funds, Carty was my man,
and Reggie, I wish that I was wit you in that van.
And Bugz if it wasn't for you,
you know I wouldn't be standin' in this booth.
Thats the truth, I miss ya'll...
[Chorus x2]

The saddest song EVER is jeremy by pearljam
at home
drawing pictures
of mountain tops
with him on top
lemin yellow sun
arms raised in a V
dead lay in pools of maroon below
daddy didn't give attention
to the fact that mommy didn't care
king jeremy the wicked
ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
clearly I remember
pickin' on the boy
seemed a harmless little fuck
but we unleashed a lion
gnashed his teeth
and bit the recessed lady's breast
how could I forget
he hit me with a surprise left
my jaw left hurtin
dropped wide open
just like the day
like the day I heard
daddy didn't give affection
and the boy was something mommy wouldn't wear
king Jeremy the wicked
ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
try to forget this...
try to erase this...
from the blackboard.

Colorful-The Verve Pipe
the lyrics aint fantastic but the way he sings it......
The show is over close the story book
There will be no encore
And all the random hands that i have shook
Well they're reaching for the door
I watch their backs as they leave single file
But you stood stubborn, cheering all the while
I know i can be colorful
I know i can be gray
But i know this loser's living fortunate
Cause i know you will love me either way
Most were being good for goodness sake
But you wouldn't pantomime
You are more beautiful when you awake
Than most are in a lifetime
Through the haze that is my memory well
You stayed for drama though you paid for a comedy
I know i can be colorful
I know i can be gray
But i know this loser's living fortunate
Cause i know you will love me either way
Look ahead as far as you can see
We'll live in drama but we'll die in a comedy
I know i can be colorful...

hey im new,from australia,name is kim,anyway..........
cemetary gates - Pantera
Reverend, reverend,
Is this a conspiracy?
Crucified for no sins
No revenge... beneath me.
Lost within my plans for life,
It all seems so unreal.
I’m a man cut in half in this world,
Left in my misery.
The reverend he turned to me
Without a tear in his eyes.
It’s nothing new for him to see,
I didn’t ask him why.
I will remember...
The love our souls had sworn to make.
Now I watch the falling rain
All my mind can see now is your (face).
Well I guess
You took my youth
And gave it all away.
Like the birth of a new found joy,
This love would end in rage...
And when she died
I couldn’t cry,
The pride within my soul.
You left me incomplete
All alone as the memories now unfold.
Believe the word.
I will unlock my door...
And pass the cemetery gates.
Sometimes when I’m alone,
I wonder aloud,
If you’re watching over me
Some place far abound.
I must reverse my life
I can’t live in the past.
Then set my soul free,
Belong to me at last.
Through all those complex years
I thought I was alone.
I didn’t care to look around
And make this world my own...
And when she died
I should’ve cried and spared myself some pain.
You left me incomplete,
All alone as the memories still remain.
The way we were,
The chance to save my soul...
And my concern is now in vain.
Believe the word,
I will unlock my door...
And pass the cemetery... gates
The way we were,
The chance to save my soul...
And my concern is now in vain.
Believe the word,
I will unlock my door...
And pass the cemetery...
Gates!
Gates!
Gates!
