Every so often the mood will strike me to listen to some sad love songs. There’s a number of reasons why somebody might want to listen to sad love songs - from break-ups to unrequited love to missing someone, there are times in life when a sad love song instead of a happy one is needed.
This collection of sad love songs has a little bit of everything across different types of music and definitions of love. Some of these songs are angst driven, while others are despair. Some might even be considered to be anti-love songs or break up songs.
Whatever you call them, I hope you enjoy this little collection of sad love songs. You can download just about any of them (cheaply and easily too!) at Amazon.com
You might want to have a box of tissues on hand - some of these songs are the kind of sad love songs that make you cry. (No, we won’t call you a wimp or make fun of you!) Have a favorite sad love song? Share it with us in the comments below.

Thank you for this post. It’s so 100% true.
Sometimes I just need to listen to a sad song or two, it helps me to remember to feel.

It has been a while since I last listen to love songs. However, one of the love songs which I like best is the one by Colin Raye, ‘Love Me.’ That song is very sweet.

omg i just found a song i absolutely love i have been looking for it for ages it was the song breath by anna nalick thank you so much for putting this song on here
<3 take care
and also stand in the rain by superchick is a good song i dont think i saw it on there lol
Tim Buckley- Song For Siren
Brilliant list of songs. I also think that Shania Twain’s, “It only hurts when I breathe is quite good.”
There are some awesome songs in this selection. Send in the Clowns,White Flag, and Lost Cause are my absolute favorites! I’ve heard about Beck before but I’ve never listened to his music. Lost Cause proves he’s worth checking out…!
Stand Still Look Pretty by The Wreckers
-Song about a girl having everything around her fall apart and wanting someone to know just how it feels when you dont want to be yourself anymore.
Really good song, I think every girl feels this way once in their lives. Deffinatly worth listening too.
sister hazel - your winter makes me sad everytime i hear it. you’ve got a great list of songs here

You should listen to - It still hurts - Born ft Beth Hart
autumn’s monologue by from autumn to ashes is a great one.
also you’re not sorry, breathe, cold as you, and teardrops on my guitar by taylor swift.
you’ve shown me a lot of great songs though, thanks!
Great list, one of my personal favorites is “to be with you” -Mr. Big
Ray LaMontagne- Shelter

this list is getting me through darker days
rip eli nini

coheed and cambria’s song “wake up”
is also a good one
Unbeautiful by Lesley Roy
Beth by KISS gets me. Maybe because I am always away from home and my beautiful wife.
I need you tonight by Backstreet Boys
Good list, i would add teardrops Will Fall by Ry Cooder

and CloseCall i know how u feel i like this girl but she doesn’t feel the same way

Hey thanks for the playlist, it doesnt help my breakup, but I guess it helps to cry, another good song you could add is “It’s Been Awhile by Staind”
Thanks
Peace

“comfortable” by john mayer
i love this playlist…sometimes a good cry puts you out of heartache more than any smile. i have one song suggestion: Near to You by A Fine Frenzy. it’s a beautiful song and i think it belongs here…
I dated the love of my life for 2 years. her dad is a major in the air force so she had to move to california. we did the long distance thing but she didnt this guy about me and he went to kiss her. she didnt do it but realized she liked him and broke up with me saying “she was doing this for me” tht was almost 4 months ago and i cry almost everyday day atleast a little bit. i love her to death everyone. we were engaged to idk if we are anymore she wont talk to me. im going to try and get her back tho im moving there soon. these songs help so much its not even funny. for a guy that was raised not to cry. these songs make it easy for the tears to flow..well i ranted long enough thanks for listening. well reading
I come to this site often when I’m blue. My favorite love song is Beautiful by Lifehouse <3
a great collection. i recommend: Bubble Wrap- McFly
Darren Hayes - Sing To Me
If you want a song to open your emotions of lost of love / break up, then this is a great one… it definitely will pull at your heart strings.
Enjoy… with some tissues! :-O
Too much Coldplay for my taste.
