Because you should have the self-respect to be able to walk away if you have to, even if you never find that you need to do so, and you should respect them enough to let them walk away should they need to do so.

At least, that's the one that always makes me cry.

Anything by the Magnetic Fields is also good. Grand Canyon is particularly lovely:

If I was the Grand Canyon
I'd echo everything you'd say
But I'm just me, I'm only me
and you used to love me that way

as is All My Little Words:

You are a splendid butterfly
it is your wings that make you beautiful
and I could make you fly away
but I could never make you stay
Not for all the tea in China
not if I could sing like a bird
not for all North Carolina
not for all my little words.

Hey, you didn't ask for happy love songs, right?

And I'm not even a goth ;-). That song was what made me ask my dad to get me Annie Lennox tapes when he came home (from abroad) and so he got me some Eurythmics tapes, which got me into them. (and within a year or two have every Eurythmics album!)

Can I have a vote for Some Kind of Stranger in a "You know, I'm kind of fed up of shallow emotions-lite songs about how relationships are meant to work" way ?
