The saddest song is "Me and a Gun" by Tori Amos

She sings it unaccompanied at every concert, and it is the most hauntingly sad yet beautiful song. Not to depress you, but here are the lyrics:

Me And A Gun 5am Friday morning, Thursday night, far from sleep
I'm still up and driving, can't go home obviously
So I'll just change direction cause they'll soon know where I live
And I wanna live Got a full tank and some chips
It was me and a gun and a man on my back
And I sang "holy holy" as he buttoned down his pants
You can laugh, It's kind of funny the things you think times like these
Like I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this
Yes I wore a slinky red thing, does that mean I should spread
For you, your friends, your father, Mr. Ed
It was me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this
And I know what this means, me and Jesus a few years back
Used to hang and he said "It's your choice babe, just remember
I don't think that you'll be back in 3 days time so you choose well.”
Tell me what's right, Is it my right to be on my stomach of Fred's Seville
It was me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this
And do you know Carolina where the biscuits are soft and sweet
These things go through you head when there's a man on your back
And you're pushed flat on your stomach; it's not a classic Cadillac
Me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this
I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this
