I had just my heart broken. please sugget to me some sad love songs or break up songs.
it always just helps me to get it out whether i am angry one minute or sad the next.
Let’s start this with a less well-known gem. Cup of coffee by Garbage from their third album. Just a sample from the lyrics: No, of course we can’t be friends, not while I still feel like this. Check it out, it is the most beautiful new song I have heard for ages.
Photographs and Memories by Jim Croce. Catchy yet sad melody, one of the best breakup songs ever. Or at least, I’ve been hummiong it since I split with my gf o these long 2 weeks. 
Sigh. Also Joy by Harry Nilsson. Joy, to the world, was a beautiful girl. But to me, Joy meant only sorrow. 
Tenebras

How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?–the Bee Gee’s version is mildly sad but for gut-wrenching, tear-your-heart-out-and-throw-it-in-the-garbage-can depression go with the version by Al Green (just keep away from sharp objects after you listen to it).

I Don’t Believe in Love - Queensryche
This Love - Pantera
Anything by the Cure (Ok except Friday I´m in love).

/Coil
Check out I’d rather see you dead by Pat Travers Band. You won’t be dissapointed.
Also, Breathe by ALL
“Divorce Song” - Liz Phair
“Fairy Tale of New York” - The Pogues
I can’t believe somebody mentioned Harry Nilsson without recommending “You’re Breakin’ My Heart”.
Oh, wait, that might be stage two.
secretkeeper78, there’s nothing better for a broken heart than Bright Eyes. Unless your definition of ‘better’ doesn’t include feeling like total crap. If music can make you cry, his will. “Something Vague” is one of my favorite songs of his – and I was unbelievably remiss in not naming “A Perfect Sonnet.” My favorite song, and incredible in this context.
You guys are all so young. How about:
Only the Lonely - Roy Orbison
Breaking Up Is Hard To Do (the slow version) - Neil Sedaka
Heartbrake Hotel - Elvis Presley
Or really old:
I’ve Got It Bad (And That Ain’t Good) - Al Hibler with Duke Ellington
One For My Baby (And One More For The Road) - Frank Sinatra
Stormy Weather - Lena Horne
Lover Man - Billie Holiday
DesertGeezer
Teddy Pendergrass: I don’t Love You Anymore
It’s an upbeat song.
hmmm… let’s see:
Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright
What a Good Boy by The BareNaked Ladies
Unloved by Jann Arden
Suffering by Jay-Jay Johanson
Insensitive by Jann Arden
