King's Crossing by Elliott Smith
This entire song is so utterly tragic. You can really tell how dejected he feels about life, and his impending suicide is obvious. Practically every single line makes an incision in your heart.

Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye
There is some eerie foreshadowing on this record, with him dying not too long after making it.

Something Corporate - "Konstantine"

I can't imagine all the people that you know
And the places that you go
When the lights are turned down low
And I don't understand
All the things you've seen
But I'm slipping in between
You and your big dreams
it's always you in my big dreams.

And you tell me
That it's over
Wake up lying in a patch of four leaf clover
And you're restless
And I'm naked
You've got to get out
You can't stand to see me shaking
no, 'cause you let me go
i didn't think so.

and you don't want to be here in the future
So you say
''the presents just a pleasant
Interruption to the past''
And you don't want to look much closer
'Cause you're afraid to find out all this hope
That you had sent into the sky by now had crashed
and it did because of me.

And then you bring me home
Afraid to find out that you're alone, no
And I'm sleeping in your living room
But we don't have much room
To live

And I had these dreams where in I would learn to play guitar
Maybe cross the country
Become a rockstar
And there was hope in me
That I could take you there
But dammit you're so young
well I don't think I care
and if I hurt you then i'm sorry
Please don't think that this was easy.

And then you bring me home
'Cause we both know what its like to be alone, no
And I'm dreaming in your living room
But we don't have much room
To live.

And Konstantine is walking down the stairs
Doesn't she look good
Standing in her underwear?
And I was thinking
What I was thinking,
But we've been drinking
And it doesn't get me anywhere.

My Konstantine came walking down the stairs
And all that I could do
Was touch her long blond hair
And I've been thinking
It hurts me thinking that these nights
When we've been drinking
No, they never got us anywhere.
No..

This is because I can't spell konfusion with a K
And i could like it
It's to dying in anothers arms
and why i had to try it
It's to jimmy eat world
and those nights in my car
When the first star you see
May not be a star
I'm not your star
Isn't that what you said
What you thought this song meant.

And if this is what it takes
Just to laugh with my mistakes
and live with what I did to you
and all the hell i've put you through
I always catch the clock it's 11:11
And now you want to talk
It's not hard to dream
You'll always be my Konstantine
My Konstantine.

They'll never hurt you like I do
No, They'll never hurt you like I do
No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No.

This is to a girl who got into my head
with all these pretty things she did
Hey , you know , you keep me up in bed
This is to a girl who got into my head
with all these f***ed up things I did
Hey , maybe , Baby,
You could keep me up in bed

My Konstantine.

You spin around me like a dream
We played out on this movie screen
And I said, did you know I missed you
Did you know I missed you
Did you know I missed you
Did you know I missed you
Did you know I missed you
Did you know I missed you
Did you know I missed you

I Miss you

And then you bring me home
And we'll go to sleep but this time not alone, no no,
And you'll kiss me in your living room, oh
God no
No you'll miss me in your living room
'Cause these nights i think
Maybe i will miss you in my living room

But we don't have much room
I said, does anybody need that room
'cause we all need a little more room
To live.

My Konstantine..

Ray Charles - "Drown in My Own Tears"

It brings a tear,
Into my eyes,
When I begin,
To realize,
I've cried so much,
Since you've been gone,
I guess I'm drowning in my own tears,

I sit and cry,
Just like a child
My pouring tears
Are runnin' wild
If you don't think
You'll be home soon
I guess I'll drown in my own tears

I know it's true
Into each life
Some rain, rain must pour
I'm so blue
Here without you
It keeps raining
More and more

Why don't you
Come on home
Oh yes so I won't
Be all alone
If you don't think
You'll be home soon

I guess I'll
(drown in my own tears)
Ooh, don't let me
(drown in my own tears)
When I'm in trouble, baby
(drown in my own tears)
Oh, yeah, baby don't let me
(drown in my own tears)
I guess I'll drown in my own tears
Oh, mmmmm

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

This may sound dorky, that's cool. "Home Sweet Home"- hooker with a heart of gold lyrics and one of the best guitar solos (emo, b4 there was emo) ever.
"Castles Made of Sand"- Jimi Hendrix
"On with the Show"- again, the Crue
"Strawberry Fields"- the Beatles. I have no idea why this song is so sad. It just is.
"Hey Jude"- again, the Beatles. Very comforting. Sad at first, then the big uplifting chorus at the end. Simply awesome. I think it's the longest song to ever hit #1.
