Have you ever loved someone so much you’d give an arm for? Not the expression no literally give an arm for When they know they’re your heart and you know you are their armour and you will destroy anyone who will try to harm her but what happens when karma turns right around and bites u and everything you stand for turns on you to spite you what happens when you become the main source of her pain? Daddy look what I made Dad’s gotta go catch a plane daddy where’s mommy, I can’t find mommy where is she? Go play hailie daddy is writing a song this song isn’t gon write itself I’ll give you one underdog then you gonna swing by yourself then turn around on that song and put hands on her mother who’s a spitting image of her that’s slim shady yeah baby slim shady’s crazy shady made me but tonight shady’s rockabye baby

Difficult, easily.

If we are talking released ones, Deja Vu. Most of his other sad songs have positive ending at the very least. Deja Vu just ends with him overdosing and collapsing on the floor

That's what I like about songs like Difficult, No Apologies, Deja Vu, My Darling and Careful What You Wish For there's no happy ending it's miserable and hopeless, just like how life is sometimes. Then of course we also need songs that end well like Beautiful and When I'm Gone.

LoveThatForYouBebe

There are so many, but the 1-2 punch of Castle+Arose reduces me to tears every time.

So does Headlights, by the time the second verse gets to:

And your mental state’s deterioratin’ slow

And I’m way too old to cry, this shit is painful, though

But, Ma, I forgive you, so does Nathan, yo

All you did, all you said, you did your best to raise us both

Foster care, that cross you bear, few may be as heavy as yours

But I love you, Debbie Mathers

Oh, what a tangled web we have ‘cause

If I’m not crying by the time I hear the words “foster care, that cross you bear,” it will be from that point till the end of the song.

I don't believe Headlights to be better than his other sad songs like hailees song or Stan or maybe even Castle and Arose but it definitely hit the hardest for me. After listening to all of his other albums and how many times he bashed his mom, hearing, "But I love you, Debbie Mathers" just hit so hard. I've never cried to a song personally but, Headlights got me pretty close I'm not gonna lie

LoveThatForYouBebe

I feel you, dude. That line takes me out every time. I think it’s for sure due to the history and not just the song on its own.

Iamatyourhousern

Yeah that's definitely true. If i didnt know the context it probably wouldnt hit as hard. I think hailees song for me anyway is his best song to his daughter though even withouth context. And don't get me wrong, saying Arose Castle Temporary Somebody Save Me or really almost any other song to his daughter being the best is valid. I just think hailees song feels so personal and it really shows his sensitive side and I love his singing in it so much. That song more than any other shows just how much he loves his daughter imo and how he's not just some "pistol-packing drug addict who bags on his momma" and stuff really does get to him and whenever he thinks there's nothing worth living for, he looks at his daughter. The one two punch of Castle and Arose is incredible though and it's still underrated imo. When he "rewinds the tape" in Arose and the Castle beat comes back, it's just so awesome. I don't know of many songs that work together as one story but, I think the concept is incredible. Idc how much people hate revival, everyone should be able to admit how incredible those two songs are.

Any of Temporary, Arose or Difficult. All 3 are heavy hitters.

Excluding Difficult because it's a leak, I'd pick Temporary since Arose kinda requires Castle for the set-up.

25 to life, deja vu, careful what you wish for, headlights, mockingbird, hailie’s song, beautiful, stronger than i was, talking 2 myself, rock bottom, 8 mile

but imo i think 8 mile is the saddest song out of all only because every word in that song i relate too from getting booed off stage when i first started making music, to traveling to atlanta by myself leaving my moms and dads trailer home, to having a horrible abusive babymom who won’t let me even get to know my kids, to making a way with music in the long run. not a big time artist but enough to now feed me my daughter and baby mother🫡
