Maybe but I bet I could guess where the story was going.
Yes, that's not hard to figure out. But, that's what makes it sad.

"Alyssa Lies" by Jason Michael Carroll

The song is about a child who is abused and tries to hide it from other kids at school and she eventually dies from the abuse. Very sad song. Here are the lyrics, but you should download the song for the proper impact:

My little girl met a new friend
Just the other day
On the playground at school
Between the tires and the swings
But she came home with tear-filled eyes
And she said to me "Daddy, Alyssa Lies"

I just brushed it off at first
Cause I didn't know how much my little girl had been hurt
Or the things she had seen
I wasn't ready when I said you can tell me
And she said

Chorus
Alyssa Lies
To the classroom
Alyssa lies
Everyday at school
Alyssa lies
To the teacher
As she tries to cover every bruise

My little girl laid her head down
That night to go to sleep
As I stepped out the room I heard her say
A prayer so soft and sweet
God bless my mom and my dad
And my new friend Alyssa
oh I know she needs you bad

Chorus

I had the worst night of sleep in years
As I tried to think of a way to calm her fears
I knew exactly what I had to do
But when we got to school on Monday I heard the news

My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad
The lump in my throat grew bigger
With every question that she asked
Until I felt the tears run down my face
And I told her that Alyssa wouldn't be at school today

cause She doesn't lie
In the classroom
She doesn't lie
Anymore at school
Alyssa lies
With Jesus
Because there's nothing anyone would do

Tears filled my eyes
When my little girl asked me why
Alyssa lies
oh Daddy,oh daddy, tell me why
Alyssa lies

The Day Before You Came - Blancmange

Knockin' On Heaven's Door - Warren Zevon. He knew he was terminal when he recorded The Wind, his last.

If Everyone Was Listening - Supertramp
I was Wrong - Social Distortion
Somebody to Love - Queen
Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad - Meat Loaf
The Ballad of Lucy Jordan - Marianne Faithfull
I Don't Like Mondays - The Boomtown Rats

Postcard Love - Phil Manzanera/801
Panoramic views and side-street scenes;
Fancy clubs and slick black limousines;
Not knowing what he does
The mailman brings "postcard love."
Message reads,
"Hi, how the hell have you been?
It's such a long, long time."
Thought its signed with love,
You know it's just a friendly touch;
I bet she hopes you're feeling fine.
Postcard love is all you'll ever get from her...

Postcard Love is a wistful aching look at unrequited love, it gives a sense of loss for something never held.

I second "Vincent" as a great choice.

Also, "When He Loved Me" by Sarah McLachlan (from Toy Story)

"Michael Picasso" by Ian Hunter.

For me, it's probably "He's Gone" by The Watchmen

I'm not going to type out the whole thing, but it gets to me since I heard it when my father was dying of cancer.

"What am I to do? I've lost my father now...
Will I be alright? Will I make it?

You're still in my life today,
You're still in my thoughts ok.

I'm sad he's gone."

Typing it out doesn't do it justice though. It's all about the delivery.

Its all a myth
Quote from Phil Collins:
Phil said: "When someone says, 'Now, tell me Phil, what is it really about?', I say I don't know. I have no idea because I made it up as I went along ... I didn't know what I was singing about. I mean obviously, when you're going through a divorce, all kinds of things run through your mind. There's anger, there's bitterness, there's hurt, you know. And all that stuff is in In The Air Tonight. Menace, you know. Finally losing your temper at the end when the drums come in."
