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 wall
Looking down, you can see all
Hold my hand so you don't fall
Catch your breath as the gulls call
One heart out of two
One life: me and you
One heart out of two
One life: me and you

Last mile in the pale light
Take me home with you tonight
We'll touch 'til it feels right
You won't say "love" but I might
One heart out of two
One life: me and you
One heart out of two
One life: me and you

Made love and you muttered "we're through"
One heart but the mind was in two
One half filled with the dreams of a saint
The other filled with nothing but hate
I hope I die in the arms of a child
In a meadow where the thistles grow wild
One heart out of two
One life: me and you
One heart out of two
One life: me and you

i know i'm not supposed to say i'm sorry
i know you've had more loves than mata hari
but you know you're the star of my life story
and i'm so sorry

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.
