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.
*Nods* Lots of my fave songs are unhappy love songs, and very few are happy ones. I guess maybe it just makes for more interesting lyrics or something.

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