Saddest Song You've Ever Heard

I was at the grocery store the other day and "100 Years to Live" by Five for Fighting came on the Muzak. I'd forgotten just what a sad song that is, especially if you're pushing the mid-century mark like me, because it really reminds you of your own mortality and limited time. Add in the video and it's even worse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR-qQcNT_fY

I'm curious about what songs everyone else can't get through without popping a Prozac or getting a little misty-eyed.

    I'm sure the one over the closing credits is sadder, but nobody's ever heard it.
