Maybe too on the nose, but Mozart's Lacrimosa. I played it on repeat when I learned about a close family member's terminal diagnosis. |

The Vision of Love 1990 Mariah album has amazing scorned lover songs - Someday, Prisoner, I don’t wanna cry, All Alone in Love…
Mary J Blige - Not Gon’ Cry from waiting to exhale album .. wow. Boyz to Men- end of the road, water runs dry, four seasons of loneliness. New Edition- Can You Stand the Rain Keith Sweat- Twisted Ashanti - Foolish Keyshia Cole- Let Him Go, Zero, Trust and Believe (this is the BEST one). Jodeci - Cry for You Newer stuff: Feels Like and Moving On, by Anna of the North Sad to Breathe by The Japanese House Stay Away and Crying on the Bathroom Floor by Muna Less than I Do by The Band Camino |

| Brandi Carlile, her voice and melodies make me ugly cry. The lyrics are often about relationships that aren’t working, but the lyrics are vague enough that it feels like it’s about me |

If you want just one song, it’s hard to pick, but I’ll say “By the way, I forgive you” |

Silver Springs by Fleetwood Mac
And watch the live version where Stevie Nicks is practically screaming “you’ll never get away from the sound of the woman who loves you” while looking directly at Lindsey Buckingham. |

Time to Say Goodbye - Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman
Definitely a sad feel but actually a hopeful song. I crank it in my car, and it always make me teary. |

Everybody Hurts is perfect! You could also add Pictures of You by The Cure or Creep by Radiohead. Independent Women, Part 1 by Destiny's Child could be good for your power song playlist! Hugs to you, OP and all of you going through this! |

Annie Lennox's Why is gutwrenching. |

+1 to Brandi - I'd suggest The Story or Again Today. Another good country one is Anymore by Travis Tritt. Not really a break up song, but definitely sad. |
