Heartbreaking Lyrics About Love

[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"

[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.

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

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..

"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.
