This kid is 18, but he's got "it". His dad passed away and was pushing him into the music world, he wanted to quit but his Mom signed him up for idol and the rest is history

This is a beautiful piece of music, but is overwhelmingly sad in its theme and construction...

 

One of my favorites.

 

 

 

I could cite your description verbatim for 

 

 

Edit: Could maybe pitch Fallen Angel or Epitaph from the Crims as well.

Saddest song I ever heard, and tells a very sad truth - - You can't make someone love you if they don't:

 

Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize me

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

Similar theme, but not performed in such a heart-wrenching way, and less powerful lyrics:

 

 

[Verse 1]
Girl when I look at you, you look through me
Like I'm not even there
I try not to give up, to be strong but
I'm afraid to say I'm scared
I can't find the place, your heart is hidin'
I'm no quitter but I'm tired of fightin'

[Chorus]
Baby I love you, don't want to lose you
Don't make me let you go
Took such a long time, for me to find you
Don't make me let you go
Baby I'm beggin' please
And I'm down here on my knees
I... don't want to have to set you free
Don't make me

[Verse 2]
What if when I'm long gone, it dawns on you
You just might want me back
Let me make myself clear, if I leave here
It's done; I'm gone, that's that
You carry my love around
Like it's a heavy burden
Well I'm about to take it back
Are you sure it's worth it

 

[Chorus]
Baby I love you, don't want to lose you
Don't make me let you go
Took such a long time, for me to find you
Don't make me let you go
Baby I'm beggin' please
And I'm down here on my knees
I... don't want to have to set you free
Don't make me
Don't make me (Don't make me)

[Bridge]
Baby I'm beggin' please
And I'm down here on my knees
I... don't want to have to set you free
Don't make me

[Outro]
(Baby I love you
Don't want to lose you
Don't make me let you go)
Don't make me
Stop lovin' you
(Don't make me)
Stop needin' you

Some great additions added that I forgot about. This one hits me quite a bit, his audition on Britains Got Talent the best I've ever heard.

 

 

 

 

That's not a sad song if you're a Phillies fan. Maybe if you're a Braves fan though. 

 

I humbly submit.

I was at this show if it was the one filmed in Denver CO. We won tickets through a radio station giveaway and it even included transportion from colo spgs. Great show. Stood up the entire time (out of necessity everyone else was)
