"Reflection" from Disney's Mulan :lol:

Look at me

You may think you see

Who I really am

But you’ll never know me

Every day, is as if I play apart

Now I see

If I wear a mask

I can fool the world

But I can not fool

My heart

Who is that girl I see

Staring straight back at me?

When will my reflection show

Who I am inside?

I am now

In a world where I have to

Hide my heart

And what I believe in

But somehow

I will show the world

What’s inside my heart

And be loved for who I am

Who is that girl I see

Staring straight back at me?

Why is my reflection

Someone I don’t know?

Must I pretend that i’m

Someone else for all time?

When will my reflection show

Who I am inside?

There’s a heart that must

Be free to fly

That burns with a need

To know the reason why

Why must we all conceal

What we think

How we feel

Must there be a secret me

I’m forced to hide?

I won’t pretend that i’m

Someone else

For all time

When will my reflections show

Who I am inside?

When will my reflections show

Who I am inside?

If you read the lyrics then you'll know what I mean.

This song made me want to cry when I first heard it:

Whiskey Lullaby - Brad Paisley & Allison Krauss

Also if you've ever been cheated on (or were a child of a divorce because of 'another woman') then this will probably tug at a few heart strings:

You Were Mine - Dixie Chicks

And others:

Buy Me a Rose - Luther Vandross

Rocky Took a Lover - Bell X1

Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol

9 Crimes - Damien Rice

To All of You - Syd Matters

Hear You Me - Jimmy Eat World

Dimming of the Day - Bonnie Raitt - only version I could find by Bonnie Raitt on youtube, it's got nature pictures set to it, but this is my favourite version.

Into Dust - Mazzy Star

Wild Mountain Thyme - Joan Baez - actually anything Joan Baez, but youtube only has her duets with Bob Dylan, no solo stuff but she's worth a download.

And, as people have already said, Fields of Gold by Sting or Eva Cassidy, they're both brilliant.

Sanna Nielsen - Empty Room is the sadest song I know. Sanna even cried when she filmed the music video. It's so freaking beautiful!

Sitting here alone with my memories

Staring at a picture of you and me

They say I look fine but if walls could talk

They'd tell you all about how much I break apart

I think we were right but we did it wrong

Ever since you left me I just can't go on

No, I can’t even read the news today

'Cause everything reminds me of yesterday

Empty room

Empty heart

Since you've been gone

I must move on

Empty room

I never realised it could make me cry

To hear the children laugh and play outside

A walk in the park, shouldn't be that bad

But everything without you seems to make me sad

I thought we were good, we were meant to be

The way it turned out is still a mystery

No, I can't even read the news today

Reminds me of yesterday

Empty room

Empty heart

Since you've been gone

I must move on

Empty space

Lonely days

My life goes on

Just like the moon

And to sail across the sky alone

Forever trying to find its home

I can't believe I have to say

I don't know where you are today

Empty room

Empty heart

Since you've been gone

I must move on

Empty space

Lonely days

My life goes on

Just like the moon

Empty room

Empty room

Sanna Nielsen - This is my thanks is one of her other sad songs. It's about someone that you loved that have died. Like Sally and Flynn. The link is the actual song and it's worth downloading, believe me!

I will hold my head up high

To try to see you

There's so much I wanna say

Before that I miss you (I'm not sure if that's correct)

And that I'm stronger than before

Cause I'm learning to get by

But my love for you won't die

And there isn't anyone

Who can tell me I'm dreamin'

Cause each night when I think about you face

It's all seems so real to me

But I'm stronger than before

Cause I'm learning to get by

And my love for you won't die

This is my thanks

For all the love you brought into my life

When you where mine

This is my thanks

For the memories

We will cherish

Now that you're gone

All I really dream of

Is to hold you tight

And let you know

You will always be here with us

In every single way

Cause all I really dream of

Is to hold you tight

And let you know

You will always be here with us

In every single way

The Ark - This sad bouquet is incredible sad too. This group made this song for a friend that eventually died in cancer. It's very beautiful.

It took time, took time to develop a concept

A new me

based upon the traits from which I could not flee

It took time, took time to embrace the nature

All my dreams

All this time just turned into a sad long wait

This sad long tale of moments passé

must come to an end before it is too late

Wasn't born to hate, I was made to love

but I never knew it was so hard

It took time, took time to accept the fact

that one must lose

everything except what you do not choose

It's taken time, long time and yet more time

it will take

before my heart is free and brave enough to break

This sad long tale of moments passé

must come to an end before it is too late

Wasn't born to hate, I was made to love

but I never knew it was so hard

This sad bouquet of forget-me-not

that I threw away is growing scars and dots

In this weary heart where there's a bird, so shy

but one of these days that bird will learn to fly

You have to listen to those guys!

this is a song that I have always loved. It's about someone that's abused but survives, sort of. Worth listening to!

I've seen myself, with a dirty face

I've cut my luck, with a dirty ace

I leave the light on

I leave the light on

I went from zero, to minus ten

I drank your wine, then I stole your man

I leave the light on

I leave that light on

Daddy ain't that bad, he just plays rough

I ain't that scarred, when I'm covered up

I leave the light on

Yeah, I leave the light on

Little girl hiding underneath the bed

Was it something I did? Must be something I said

I leave the light on

I better leave the light on

[Chorus 1]

'Cause I wanna love

And I wanna live

Yeah, I don't know much about it

And I never did - no, no

17, and I'm all messed up inside

I cut myself, just to feel alive

And I leave the light on

And I leave the light on

21 on the run, on the run, on the run

From myself, from myself and everyone

I leave the light on

I better leave the light on

[Chorus 2]

'Cause I wanna love

And I wanna live

Yea, I don't know much about it

And I never did

I don't know what to do

Can the damage be undone?

I swore to God that I'd never be

What I've become

And lucky stars, and fairy tales

I'm gonna bathe myself, in a ocean well

Pretty scars from cigarettes

I never will forget - I never will forget

I'm still afraid, to be alone

Wish that the moon would follow me home

I leave the light on

Yeah, I leave that light on

I ain't that bad, I'm just messed up

I ain't that sad, but I'm sad enough

[Chorus 2]

'Cause I wanna love

I wanna live

No, I don't know much about it

And I never did

I don't know what to do

Can the damage be undone?

I swore to God that I'd never be

What I've become

I leave that light…

I leave that light…

I leave that light on

God bless the child, with the dirty face

Who cuts her luck, with a dirty ace

She leaves the light on

I leave that light on
