You Broke My Heart I Dont Ever Wanna Feel That Way Again Tv Show
Album covers from Amazon Music
We all enjoy a celebratory and, dare we say it, slightly sappy love song that revels in the beauty of human connection. But sometimes the track that really hits home is more somber.
Some of the sad love songs in this collection have the capacity to make you cry, and may even help you mend a broken heart after a breakup. A handful of '90s classics (Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You," Toni Braxton's "Un-Break My Heart") and R&B; hits are on the list, as are sweeter numbers that would be at home on a Valentine's Day playlist if you're spending the holiday solo. Many sift through the rubble of past relationships (Drake's "Marvin's Room," Lauryn Hill's "Ex-Factor"), while others are about the momentary relief of connection, even if you know it's not with the right person (Sam Smith's "Stay With Me," Bonnie Raitt's, "I Can't Make You Love Me"). And emotional classics by Joni Mitchell, Carole King, and Fleetwood Mac prove that while sonic style and songwriting changes over the decades, the raw feeling of heartbreak will always be relatable.
You may be trying to rekindle a smothered spark, dealing with quarantine-related long distance drama, or struggling with keeping your dating life going this winter. Whatever's causing you strife, we hope you'll find catharsis in one of these sad love songs.

"Someone Like You" by Adele
Adele is the patron saint of powerhouse ballads, and "Someone Like You" ranks up there with her very best. Adele's voice can soar on top of a 30-piece orchestra, but here she's accompanied by a simple piano part as she addresses an ex who has moved on and found new love.

"Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac
The intra-band romantic drama that fueled Fleetwood Mac's historicRumorsrecord is well documented, but even before its 1977 release, they were penning love songs that stuck to your ribs. One such track was "Landslide," a gorgeous, lilting showcase for singer Stevie Nicks about how love, in all its forms, never stays static.

"Death by a Thousand Cuts" by Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift has mined the details of her own romantic life to great success, but onLover's"Death by a Thousand Cuts" she switched her approach, drawing inspiration from the Netflix rom-comSomeone Great.
The track itself is vintage Swift. She fills the twinkling Jack Antonoff production with vivid imagery–haunted clubs, boarded up windows, and harsh hungover mornings. "Death by a Thousand Cuts" captures the true aftermath of a breakup, and the way the pain comes in small, unexpected ways, not necessarily all at once.

"I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston
Anytime a song can be distinguished by a single note, you know that it's made an impact. Whitney Houston's cover of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You," which appeared onThe Bodyguardsoundtrack, is one of the 20th century's defining ballads. Houston kept the methodical pacing of Parton's original, but turned it into a simmering slow jam that fit perfectly into the '90s trend of moody, glacial radio hits.
Even when you know exactly what the song is building up to, the moment where Houston hits that sky-scraping note on the final hook, always feels stirring.

"I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt
Bonnie Raitt's 1991 heartbreaker "I Can't Make You Love Me" is considered to be among the best songs ever written. Raitt makes the lyrics, written by Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin, absolutely jump off the page, turning the song into a tearjerker about accepting that you can't change the way another person feels inside.
"'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't / You can't make your heart feel something it won't," she sings.

"It's Too Late" by Carole King
Carole King's landmark 1971 albumTapestryis filled with gorgeous, poignant songs about heartbreak brought to life through King's vivid lyricism. "It's Too Late" was one of the album's most popular tracks. It captures the point at the end of a relationship where there simply isn't much left to say. Both people have tried their best, but it's just not meant to be.
"There'll be good times again for me and you / But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it, too," she sings.
7 of 55
"Cuz I Love You" by Lizzo
The title track of Lizzo's breakout album sees the multitalented musician indulging her inner diva. From the opening line, she's belting as powerfully as she ever has, channeling the spirit of Aretha and Whitney. Much of Lizzo's music explores her own sense of self-worth and independence, but on "Cuz I Love You" she opens up about what she'll do for love.
"Got me standing in the rain / Gotta get my hair pressed again / I would do it for you all, my friend," she promises.
8 of 55
"Close to You" by Rihanna
Rihanna's 2016 opusANTIsmartly stripped away much of the gloss and glitz of pop superstardom, giving her more room to emote as a vocalist. That produced several powerful tracks ("Higher," "Love on the Brain," "Needed Me"), as well as "Close to You," a moving piano song about a relationship crumbling in slow motion that plays like a sequel to 2012's "Stay."
"Nothing but a tear, that's all for breakfast / Watching you pretend you're unaffected," she sings.
9 of 55
"Both Sides Now" by Joni Mitchell
Inspired by Saul Bellow'sHenderson the Rain King,Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" is an ode to shifting perspectives and to understanding someone's motivations that were previously alien to you. As with Mitchell's best music, it's depicted through gorgeous nature imagery–clouds that look like "ice cream castles," and "angel hair"–and sung in her delicate, lilting cadence.
10 of 55
"I Don't Love You Anymore" by ANOHNI
From the climate crisis to the casualties of drone strikes in the Middle East, ANOHNI has a gift for using the style and structure of dance music to tell urgent stories. "I Don't Love You Anymore" is relatively straightforward–even its video is simply a six-minute shot of the singer–but her voice is so stunning and wounded that you hang on every word.
"You left me in a cage / My only defense was rage," she sings, her voice curling into a slight snarl, mimicking the way heartbreak so often hardens into anger.
11 of 55
"Stay With Me" by Sam Smith
Sam Smith has written plenty of songs about the bluer side of romance, but their hit single "Stay With Me" goes to a different place. The track is somewhere between booze-fueled longing and sober honesty. Smith knows that the connection they share with the song's subject is nothing like true love, but still a favorable alternative to isolation.
"Deep down I know this never works / But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt," they plead.
12 of 55
"Dreaming With a Broken Heart" by John Mayer
John Mayer's "Dreaming With a Broken Heart" morphs from a delicate piano ballad to chugging blues rock jam, showcasing the breadth of Mayer's talent that made him such a star throughout the '00s. His breathy, raspy voice is uniquely suited for songs like this: smooth and sultry, but emotional on the surface.
13 of 55
"Tears Dry on Their Own" by Amy Winehouse
With the help of producer Salaam Remi, Amy Winehouse made "Tears Dry on Their Own," a modern spin on the long lineage of Motown's sad love songs. It even flips Marvin Gaye and Tami Terrell's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough."
Winehouse's smoky, velvet-lined jazz club voice is put to great use here, restrained and conversational on the verses, gradually swelling in volume and tone on the hook to match the song's horns.
14 of 55
"Give My Love to Rose" by Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash originally penned "Give My Love to Rose" back in 1957, but it proved to be such a staple of his catalog that he rerecorded it multiple times, including for his 2002 recordAmerican IV: The Man Comes Around.
The track is vintage Cash. It's a masterclass in storytelling, as he stumbles upon a dying man by the railroad tracks who, in his final moments, tells Cash to go see his beloved Rose and their son. He even expresses that he wants his wife to find a new person to love.
"Tell my Rose to try to find another / 'Cause it ain't right that she should live alone," Cash sings.

"Skinny Love" by Bon Iver
There are approximately 1 million covers of Bon Iver's "Skinny Love," but none of them hit your gut quite like the original (Birdy's piano-powered take comes closest). The song, which helped turn Bon Iver into an indie phenomenon, is minimalist in its presentation, but cinematic in emotional scope. Throughout, Vernon's voice croaks and breaks, as if he's struggling to get the words out.
"You're in a relationship because you need help, but that's not necessarily why youshould be in a relationship. And that's skinny. It doesn't have weight," Bon Iver's Justin Vernon told Pitchfork about the song. "Skinny love doesn't have a chance because it's not nourished.

"Irreplaceable" by Beyoncé
Beyoncé set aside the delicate love songs with "Irreplaceable," a chart-topping ode to knowing your worth and not letting anyone try to lower it. The song plays as a prelude to some of her meatier work onBeyoncéandLemonade,and sees her sending an unfaithful former flame out the door expeditiously.
"Rollin' her 'round in the car that I bought you / Baby, drop them keys / Hurry up before your taxi leaves," Beyoncé warns.
17 of 55
"Drew Barrymore" by SZA
On "Drew Barrymore," SZA gets all psyched up to see someone at a party, only to find that they showed up with another girl. The song captures the whiplash of butterflies turning to stone in your stomach, as she sings achingly about how sometimes romance and disappointment can feel as linked as hangovers and alcohol.
"It's hard enough you got to treat me like this / Lonely enough to let you treat me like this," SZA laments.
18 of 55
"Fix You" by Coldplay
Written by Chris Martin as a tribute to his then-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow's late father, "Fix You" is one of Coldplay's most affecting songs in a discography filled with enough tearjerkers to flood a stadium. Though the song primarily deals with death and moving on from that kind of loss, its lyrics are easy to graft onto a romance.
19 of 55
"When I Was Your Man" by Bruno Mars
Few A-listers are as good at lost love ballads as Bruno Mars, who has topped charts and made eyes water with songs like "Talking to the Moon," "It Will Rain," and "When I Was Your Man." The latter is perhaps the best of the lot, inspired by '70s piano ballads like The Commodores' "Still," and featuring one of Mars' most searing hooks.
"I should have bought you flowers / And held your hand / Should have gave you all my hours / When I had the chance," he laments.
20 of 55
"Play a Sad Song" by The Supremes
Back in the early '60s, Diana Ross and The Supremes' three other core vocalists were just teenagers, but they could capture the feeling of a lifetime's worth of heartbreak on records like "Play a Sad Song." Penned by Motown mastermind Berry Gordy, the track has cinematic horns and strings that serve as a fitting backdrop for the intertwined harmonies of these preternaturally gifted young vocalists.
21 of 55
"Alive With the Glory of Love" by Say Anything
Say Anything's "Alive With the Glory of Love" bristles not just with the urgency and desperation of young love, but because of its chilling backdrop. The song is about the relationship between singer Max Bemis' grandparents, who are Holocaust survivors, and their time hiding from the nazis.
22 of 55
"Un-Break My Heart" by Toni Braxton
The '90s were the golden era of slow jam ballads, and only a few songs captured that crying-in-a-rainstorm melodrama as well as Toni Braxton's "Un-Break My Heart."
The song clearly resonated with a lot of jilted listeners, as it was named one of the 20 biggestHot 100hits of all time in 2018.
23 of 55
"Your Hand Holding Mine" by Yellow Days
Yellow Days' George van den Broek was just 17 when he broke through with "Your Hand Holding Mine," but that's hard to guess by the sound of his voice. Van den Broek has a commanding baritone, often likened to fellow alt outsider King Krule.
24 of 55
"Every Rose Has Its Thorn" by Poison
A quintessential '80s power ballad, what Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" lacks in subtlety it more than makes up for with heart-on-the-sleeve candor. Long before his reality show renaissance, Bret Michaels was giving his all to this raw chart-topper.
25 of 55
"Wicked Games" by The Weeknd
Long before he was an A-lister big enough to headline the Super Bowl, The Weeknd was a mysterious figure in the nascent Toronto music scene, writing songs about excess and infidelity that sounded like the aftermath of a post-breakup bender.
His first major hit was "Wicked Games," a fiery track about wounded people finding solace in each other and hurting their actual partners in the process. It's a powerful showcase for The Weeknd's crystalline tenor, which seems to float a thousand feet above the instrumentals muddy guitar and bass.
26 of 55
"Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye ft. Kimbra
Most somber love songs come from a singular perspective:I'mhurt.Idon't love you anymore.Idon't want to be alone. What makes Gotye and Kimbra's "Somebody That I Used to Know" so singular and enduring is that it offers both perspectives on a failed relationship, shifting vantage points in the middle to remind us that even though we may demonize an ex, we're rarely free of blame.
And the song clearly resonated with fans, becoming one of the most successfulHot 100entries ever, going eight-times platinum in the U.S., and turning the previously unknown Gotye into a star.
27 of 55
"Giving Up" by Whitney
Sometimes relationships fall apart all at once, but oftentimes they crumble in slow motion. A missed phone call here, a late night out with no explanation there. This kind of disintegration is the subject of Whitney's melancholic "Giving Up."
A departure from the sunnier sound of their debut album, "Giving Up" still exists in the same country-soul-indie rock universe, with twangy guitars, dusty piano, and singer Julien Ehrlich's signature reedy tenor.
28 of 55
"EARFQUAKE" by Tyler, the Creator ft. Playboi Carti
In a different world, "EARFQUAKE" would have been one of 2019's inescapable pop smashes. Tyler, the Creator originally wrote it to give to Justin Bieber, later offering it to Rihanna, before ultimately claiming it for himself. It's hard to picture the song with anyone else on lead vocals. When he pleads, "Don't leave, it's my fault," the desperation is palpable.
29 of 55
"when the party's over" by Billie Eilish
Some sad love songs are grand and sweeping, but Billie Eilish's "when the party's over" cuts in the complete other direction. With hundreds of layers of vocal harmonies and Eilish's trademark hushed tones, the song feels like it's being sung into your ear from two inches away.
There's an almost religious quality to the lead melody and how it's accented by the harmonies, making "when the party's over" into a vigil for a relationship stuck in the liminal space between friends and lovers.
30 of 55
"Ex-Factor" by Lauryn Hill
This song brings us into the push-pull of a dysfunctional relationship, one that frequently gets right up to the breaking point without ever crossing that final threshold.
If "Ex-Factor" sounds eerily familiar to younger listeners, it's because Drake sampled it for his huge 2018 hit, "Nice For What."
