"I didn't want to say goodbye." By Ari Hest

Easily the sadest song ever written, instead of leaving in the song the girl is dead, which for was more fun to think about.

Here's a taste:

I get cards and Bouquets,
But they can't take your place.
And I have dreams about us,
but I always wake up.

I can ask,
I can plead,
I can beg down on my knees.
For a reason, for a sign.
But the answer I won't find.

[MonkeeMan]

"No Children" by the Mountain Goats
I felt like I almost exploded the first time I heard it. The lyrics are brutal.

Lyrics:
I hope that our few remaining friends
Give up on trying to save us
I hope we come up with a failsafe plot
To piss off the dumb few that forgave us
I hope the fences we mended
Fall down beneath their own weight
And I hope we hang on past the last exit
I hope it's already too late
And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here
Someday burns down
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away
And I never come back to this town
Again in my life
I hope I lie
And tell everyone you were a good wife
And I hope you die
I hope we both die

I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow
I hope it bleeds all day long
Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises
We're pretty sure they're all wrong
I hope it stays dark forever
I hope the worst isn't over
And I hope you blink before I do
Yeah I hope I never get sober
And I hope when you think of me years down the line
You can't find one good thing to say
And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out
You'd stay the hell out of my way
I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand
And I hope you die
I hope we both die

Heh, it's actually pretty funny, but I listened to a lot of Les Os by The Unicorns, which is like...not really a sad song. But one lyric is like, "Is this love of our's a lie?"

Anyway, it took like 6 months to get over it, I would say after a 12 month relationship. We were actually "together" for like 18 months, but the last 6 (the getting over it part) were just hell. Anyway...I remember the moment I got over it was one late night listening to the song "Cherry" by Ratatat, which has no lyrics. It just clicked.
