1. Don't Take the Girl by Tim McGraw

This is a sweet song about a boy who used to want nothing to do with a certain girl in town, but grows up to fall in love with her. They eventually get married and have a family, but they don't end up with the happy ending that they deserve. This is one of the best songs to listen to when you need a good cry. Even if you don't like country music, this song will be an exception.

2. Terrible Things by Mayday Parade

Here's another song about a beautiful couple who love each other dearly. They spend years together, as happy as can be, until one of them dies. The song is directed toward the singer's son, warning him about how terrible life can be.

3. Stole by Kelly Rowland

This is a depressing song about a school shooting. It tells the story of a few children who would have had great futures in front of them if they weren't murdered in their classrooms. It also talks about the boy with the gun who always had trouble fitting in. It's one of the hardest songs to listen to, because the horrible things in the video happen so often in reality.

4. Cancer by My Chemical Romance

This song is about what the title suggests. It talks about a woman who has cancer and is going through chemotherapy. If you've ever had a family member or friend with cancer, then you'll be able to understand exactly what the singer is talking about. It's impossible not to cry over the lyrics.

5. Dance with My Father by Luther Van Dross

If you lost your father at a young age, or at any age, you won't be able to get through this song without crying. It's about missing your deceased dad and wanting a few more seconds with him. It's always hard to lose someone you care about, especially a parent.

6. The Lost Boy by Greg Holden

This song is as beautiful as it is sad. It has a heavy focus on family and on finding the will to survive without anyone else's help. It reassures you that you'll be able to live, even when your loved ones are not around you.

7. Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright

Everyone has heard this song before, but if you really take the time to listen to the lyrics and enjoy the sound, it'll be easy to cry over it. There's a reason why it has become so popular. If you don't understand the hype, then take one more listen to it to see for yourself.

Don't be afraid to let out your emotions. Sometimes, all you need is a good cry to feel better, so don't hold those tears back. What songs always end up making you cry?
