    "Afraid" by Sarah Fimm.

    The song reminds me of someone I've also lost, a good friend to a meth overdose. It always reminds me that no matter how much I wanted to help, support, and give strength to him, pieces from my heart can never mend one so shattered and lonely.

    Daryl Stanford (1987-2008)

    I'd like to hold you close
    Make you feel safe
    Not so afraid of yourself
    If we have to part, so it shall be
    I'd like to help you suffer less
    Not be so locked up in your thoughts
    Afraid of love and all under the sun

    I'll hide out in your space
    Emptiness on my face
    I'll be keeping you safe
    When you're cold and alone
    Til you come out and play

    I'd like to know you more,
    Tell you you're fine
    Even though you're not
    When you worry so much
    It makes me want to cry
    Fragile like the leaves come fall
    Red yellow gold, I love them all
    I guess it's just the way we love

    I'll hide out in your space
    Emptiness on my face
    I'll be keeping you safe
    When you're cold and alone
    Til you come out and play

    Here I am I don't wanna come out
    Null to the bone I don't wanna come out
    Here I am I don't wanna come out
    Null to the bone I don't wanna come out
    I've been dead and I wanna come out
    Call my name cause I wanna come out
    Here I am and I wanna come out
    Null to the bone I don't wanna come out
    I've been dead and I wanna come out
    Call my name cause I wanna come out

    I'll hide out in your space
    Emptiness on my face
    I'll be keeping you safe
    When you're cold and alone
    Til you come out and play

    Here I am I don't wanna come out
    Null to the bone I don't wanna come out
    I've been dead and I wanna come out
    Call my name cause I wanna come out

    I'll hide out in your space
    Emptiness on my face
    I'll be keeping you safe
    When you're cold and alone
    Til you come out and play

    I thought I had heard just about everthing Johny Cash ever recorded, but 'Hurt' made me cry like a baby. Songs that also made me cry (yes I'm VERY emotional):

    Vincent - Don McLean
    Crying - Don McLean
    America - Neil Diamond
    Anything by Bread, &
    Almost anything played on the bagpipes.
    I'm sure a million more songs will come to my mind after I post this

    Sigur Rós/Jónsi & Alex have so many 'tearjerkers' for that reason ^. Takk..., Vaka, Vijrar Vel Til Loftárása, Happiness, E-Bow and Stokkseri especially. Actually, the videos for the 2nd and 3rd songs there are what actually sets me off, the 3rd would be more of interest to a LGBT forum, and surely must be one of the best videos of all time. The song? Yeah that's one of the most underrated of all time too.

    Xiu Xiu/Former Ghosts, Joy Division and to some extent Placebo have a really bitter feel to some of their songs that make listening to them uncomfortable.
    [YOUTUBE]Tx3k1O87DgI[/YOUTUBE]
    Noah And The Whale - First Days Of Spring (album) - lyrics about a breakup that are very frank and genuinely depressing, and not covered in try-hard coatings
    Arcade Fire - Haiti - For making a song about dead Haitian children in 2004...ouch.
    Johnny Cash - Hurt - this, recorded shortly before he died and just after his wife died. Gahh he sounds so fragile in this <3.
    Goldfrapp - A&E - a song about waking up after attempted suicide, says it all really.

    Actually i have a playlist for crying to, FML?

    I LOVE YOU. CHRONO CROSS <3

    I just replayed the game a few weeks ago. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT, along with the soundtrack. When this song started to play at the ending, I was definitely choking up. It was just perfect. It really gets to you since it has the feeling of coming to an end of a perfect game.

    I will admit that the first time I heard this song I cried. The first time I heard it was right before coming out to my best friend and I was driving in the car in the pouring rain. I was really sad and then I heard this song, and it made me a little tear-ish. Im such a loser lol.

    And through the life force and there goes her friend
    on her Nishiki it’s out of time
    and through the portal they can make amends
    Hey would you say whatever we’re blanket friends

    Can’t stop what’s coming
    Can’t stop what is on its way

    And through the walls they made their mudpies
    I’ve got your mind, I said
    She said, I’ve your voice
    I said, you don’t need my voice girl
    you have your own
    but you never thought it was enough of

    So they went years and years
    like sisters blanket, blanket girls
    Always there through that and this
    There’s nothing we cannot ever fix, I said

    Can’t stop what’s coming
    Hey, can’t stop what is on its way

    Bells and footfalls and soldiers and dolls
    Brothers and lovers she and I were
    Now she seems to be sand under his shoes
    There’s nothing I can do

    Can’t stop what’s coming
    Can’t stop what is on its way

    And now I speak to you
    Are you in there
    You have her face and her eyes
    but you are not her
    and we go at each other like blank ettes
    who can’t find their thread and their bare

    Can’t stop loving
    Can’t stop what is on its way
    and I see it coming
    and it’s on its way

    ^^ I second those two songs choices.

    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-Cf8_f9g30[/YOUTUBE]

    I really love this song. It was because of this song that I discovered the Wicked soundtrack (which I love, as well).

    It makes me cry because I know the story behind it (not the Glee story, but for Chris Colfer and this song) but not sad tears.

    This song is amazingly sad and beautiful, especially if you've seen the episode of Bones that features it:

  19. I just remembered how freaking sad this song is :frowning2:

    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDrq-nCb6kY&feature=related[/YOUTUBE]

    I am strong in his hands
    I am beyond me
    on my own i'm human
    and I do faults

    I do confess
    I feel you trickeling
    down my shoulders
    from above

    I turn myself in
    I give myself up
    volunteer
    you own me : I'm yours

    You have to trust it
    I'm eternally yours
    all that I gave them
    I gave to you

    So needy of comfort
    but too raw to be embraced
    undo this privacy
    and put me in my place

    Generous palmstroke
    the hugest of hugs
    undo this privacy
    embrace

    E m b r a c e m e
    E m b r a c e m e
    E m b r a c e m e
    E e e e e e m m m m m

    I am strong in his hands
    I am above
    way beyond me
    I.... con...

    She's strong in his hands
    she is beyond her
    on her own she is human
    and she does faults
