Devastating love songs. Preferably ones that start out brimming with love, only to turn your back on you in the end, leaving you absolutely gutted. But feel free to share your own take on the theme. Gutting, heart fucking breaking love songs. Post them here itt.
I'll start with Stars' 'Time Can Never Kill The True Heart'. It starts out as the perfect song to dance to on your wedding day, but absolutely shatters you in the end with the last verse. Kills me every time.

One step closer to the sea wallLooking down, you can see allHold my hand so you don't fallCatch your breath as the gulls callOne heart out of twoOne life: me and youOne heart out of twoOne life: me and youLast mile in the pale lightTake me home with you tonightWe'll touch 'til it feels rightYou won't say "love" but I mightOne heart out of twoOne life: me and youOne heart out of twoOne life: me and youMade love and you muttered "we're through"One heart but the mind was in twoOne half filled with the dreams of a saintThe other filled with nothing but hateI hope I die in the arms of a childIn a meadow where the thistles grow wildOne heart out of twoOne life: me and youOne heart out of twoOne life: me and you
Last mile in the pale lightTake me home with you tonightWe'll touch 'til it feels rightYou won't say "love" but I mightOne heart out of twoOne life: me and youOne heart out of twoOne life: me and you
Made love and you muttered "we're through"One heart but the mind was in twoOne half filled with the dreams of a saintThe other filled with nothing but hateI hope I die in the arms of a childIn a meadow where the thistles grow wildOne heart out of twoOne life: me and youOne heart out of twoOne life: me and you

Solely a turning your back on love song, but Roxy Music's "Just Another High" ranks among my favorite songs ever. One devastating, tortured line after another.
