I love songs about broken hearts (even though it's been years since I've had one). Often they just strike me as so much more sincere and achingly beautiful. As Elton John sings, "Sad songs say so much."
So, what are your favorite broken heart songs? I'll start with this gorgeous gem, amazing lyrics: Ryan Adams, Everybody Knows http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFTOkj2rKhw |

Keith Urban--You'll think of me. I woke up early this morning around 4am With the moon shining bright as headlights on the interstate I pulled the covers over my head and tried to catch some sleep But thoughts of us kept keeping me awake Ever since you found yourself in someone else's arms I've been tryin' my best to get along But that's OK There's nothing left to say, but Take your records, take your freedom Take your memories, I don't need'em Take your space and take your reasons But you'll think of me And take your cap and leave my sweater 'Cause we have nothing left to weather In fact I'll feel a whole lot better But you'll think of me, you'll think of me I went out driving trying to clear my head I tried to sweep out all the ruins that my emotions left I guess I'm feeling just a little tired of this And all the baggage that seems to still exist It seems the only blessing I have left to my name Is not knowing what we could have been What we should have been So Someday I'm gonna run across your mind Don't worry, I'll be fine I'm gonna be alright While you're sleeping with your pride Wishing I could hold you tight I'll be over you And on with my life And you're gonna think of me Oh someday baby, someday |

Lyrics to the Ryan Adams song:
You come for me in the worst of places You come for me, you come and try to take me home I'm always in need and it's hard to be reciprocating The fabric of our life gets torn And everything's changing so how i am to know How i'm going to hold on to you when i'm spinning out of control You an i together But only one of us in love And everybody knows He says her name, it echoes in my head like it was a canyon He says her name, he says it and i know what's up You come to me sometimes when i'm thinking like a cannonball shooting out a canyon And i forget whatever it was i was thinking about With everything changing how am i to know How i'm going to hold on to you when i'm spinning out of control You and i together But only one of us in love And everybody knows |

DIAMONDS AND RUST
(Words and Music by Joan Baez) Well I'll be damned Here comes your ghost again But that's not unusual It's just that the moon is full And you happened to call And here I sit Hand on the telephone Hearing a voice I'd known A couple of light years ago Heading straight for a fall As I remember your eyes Were bluer than robin's eggs My poetry was lousy you said Where are you calling from? A booth in the midwest Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks You brought me something We both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Well you burst on the scene Already a legend The unwashed phenomenon The original vagabond You strayed into my arms And there you stayed Temporarily lost at sea The Madonna was yours for free Yes the girl on the half-shell Would keep you unharmed Now I see you standing With brown leaves falling around And snow in your hair Now you're smiling out the window Of that crummy hotel Over Washington Square Our breath comes out white clouds Mingles and hangs in the air Speaking strictly for me We both could have died then and there Now you're telling me You're not nostalgic Then give me another word for it You who are so good with words And at keeping things vague Because I need some of that vagueness now It's all come back too clearly Yes I loved you dearly And if you're offering me diamonds and rust I've already paid |
