Heartbreaking Lyrics About Love

[diamondsnake]

In a way, doesn't this line break your heart?

"Some call it love, some say they're above that. I believed in love, I called it worth it." -from Love is Like a River

I am obsessed with this lyric lately. :D :sorry:

[skcin]

The lyric: "You can sit outside his door and wait, weeeellllll you can dedicate your pain to him" breaks my heart every time.

[KarmaContestant]

"My love lives in a world of false pleasure, and pain"

[ontheEdgeof17]

"I wish that you were mine"

"Something in my heart died last night. Just one more chip off an already broken heart."

"Listen to me now...You know I'd rather be alone, than to be without you..."

"We are adapting to your silence. I can live here without you...at least I'm learning...but I cannot live without your songs...."

[KarmaContestant]

"I'll take my dreams and my love...I'll go quietly, silently making my way"

From China Doll

[Stevie4ever]

"I'll take my dreams and my love...I'll go quietly, silently making my way"

From China Doll


I love that song

[SapphireSister]

"I turned around And the water was closing all around Like a glove Like the love that had finally, finally found me Then I knew In the crystalline knowledge of you"

"Love is...
You've got the softest lips
Love is...
The touch of your fingertips
Love is...
Knowing you won't let go"

"You will never love again
The way you love me
You will never rule again
The way you ruled me
You will never change again
The way you're changing"

[skcin]

"I'll take my dreams and my love...I'll go quietly, silently making my way"

From China Doll

[Kelly]

"I know, you know, watching you go is like dying"

"Can I go on without you? I tell myself, THIS time, I'm gonna have to move on"

"I came all the way here, just to watch you walk out that door"

"I'm afraid, soon there be no light"

"I would be your only dream, your shining autumn, ocean crashing"

"sometimes I walk by and I look up to your balcony, just to make sure that I can still feel you"

And my favorite.......

"I wouldn't trade for you for jade or for diamonds, not for anything...
I need you to be there, just remember when I am haunted....that I was just so scared"

[GypsySorcerer]

"But in those years and the lifetimes past
I did not deal with the road
And I did not deal with you I know
Tho the love has always been"

"I hope you find a love
Your own designs of love"

"I can't define love like it should be..."

[sweetgypsygirl]

The lyric: "You can sit outside his door and wait, weeeellllll you can dedicate your pain to him" breaks my heart every time.

Me too...the first time I heard that, I was like "oh my god..." and definitely cried cause I was having a hard time with the males at the time!

[SmileAtU]

"I've ridden with you beyond the wind, as i'm riding away from you now"

The second time she sings "your eyes say yes, but you don't say yes"

[darklinensuit]

No one understands this love
No one ever will
'Til her dying day she was her to say that
She loves him still

A dream as the thunder wakes her
And her highwayman disappears
On a life already lived before
In eyes welled with tears

If I leave you, you say "Not even you can tear us apart"

So I try to say goodbye, my friend
I'd like to leave you with something warm
But never have I been a blue calm sea
I have always been a storm

And I who went to sleep as two
Woke up as one

- Jake

[GardenStateGirlie]

"she said everynight he will break your heart...i should have know from the first...that i'd be the broken hearted..."

"love is...watching you go..."

I love Love Is. It's such a conversational song--to be a fly on the wall pre-TISL.

[Keith]

if you find somebody to love in this world.
you better hang on tooth and nail...

as sung by Stevie Nicks on June 4, 2005, in Holmdel, NJ.

i should have listened, and not let go..

[catinthedark]

-- And now the tears dry on my face, and leave behind them only ashes - Mistaken Love

-- You can sit outside his door and wait... Well, you can dedicate your pain to him - Thrown Down

-- So she stood there in the hallway frozen.. In the dark... And her heart broke down.. She cried... She fell to the floor - Love Is

-- And don't condescend to me.. Take your leave... Take your leave.. Take your leave of me now... Disappear into the air... I wish you gone... And I don't care - Planets of the Universe

-- My first mistake was to smile at you - Smile At You



That's off the top of my head. My favourite Stevie songs are the heart-wrenchers.

[lagringader&r]

Sorry, this is going to be long!

Angel:
I still look up when you walk in the room
I've the same wide eyes
They tell the story
Try not to reach out when you turn around
And you say hello
And we both pretend
There was an end
But there was no ending
So I close my eyes softly
Till I become that part of the wind
That we all long for sometime

I Miss You
Seems like yesterday
I think about how much I wish that you were here with me now
The invisible girl that was my name
She walks in and walks out
And I'm sorry now
I'm sorry now

Sleeping Angel
I need you because you let me breathe
Well you've taken me away, but never take me lightly
Or I could never stay
Well, someday when we're older and my hair is silver gray
Unbraid with all of the love that you have
Like a soft silver chain
Oh, take me sleeping angel
Oh, catch me when you can
And unbraid with all the love that you have
Like a soft silver chain

Storms (all of it)
Every night that goes between, I feel a little less
As you slowly go away from me, this is only another test
Every night you do not come, your softness fades away
Did I ever really care that much?
Is there anything left to say?
Every hour of fear I spend, my body tries to cry
Living through each empty night
A deadly call inside
I haven't felt this way I feel since many a year ago
but in those years and the lifetimes past
I did not deal with the road
And I did not deal with you I know
though the love has always been
So I search to find an answer there
So I can truly win
So I try to say
Goodbye my friend
I'd like to leave you with something warm
but never have I been a blue calm sea
I have always been a storm
We were frail
She said, "Every night he will break your heart"
I should have known from the first
I'd be the broken hearted
But I loved you from the start
Save us . . .
And not all the prayers in the world could save us.

I cry everytime I hear it..

[amber]

Okay, so she didn't write it, but...
"It's a circle of deception. It's a hall of strangers. It's a cage without a key. You can feel the danger."
and
"I bet you're his masterpiece. I bet your his self control. You'll become his legacy. His quiet world of white and gold"
Insider is pretty heartbreaking to me.
Also, add "most other Stevie lyrics" :laugh:

[UndoingTheLaces]

The one that always gets me is...

"you say it will be harder in the morning
I wait for you to say, "just go"
your hands held mine so few hours"

And I know I've posted about this before but the vocal ad libs at the end of Sara from the Melborne 1980 show always choke me up.

[darklinensuit]

I Miss You
Seems like yesterday
I think about how much I wish that you were here with me now
The invisible girl that was my name
She walks in and walks out
And I'm sorry now
I'm sorry now



I love the line "She's back on the staircase on the way up to her place" - buoyed by the way she sings it.

- Jake

[lagringader&r]

I love the line "She's back on the staircase on the way up to her place" - buoyed by the way she sings it.

- Jake

Me too. And, I can visualize it which only adds to the heartwrenching. I picture her walking up the staircase really slowly with her head down, maybe looking back once, maybe not at all, but full of regret. I have to go listen to this now. Why? Because I'm a masochist.. :distress:

[bookie29]

"and not all the prayers in the world could save us"-Storms
"you were so strong, I fell to my knees"-IYEDB
"one more night I'd like to lie and hold you... have you forgotten me?"-IYEDB

That last line in Storms seems so sad and hopeless. I lived IYEDB so I can relate.
