He Stopped Loving Her Today is my pick. It wasn’t until I read the lyrics, and my heart broke. Rounding out the top three saddest song would be I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry and Poor Side of Town.

"I Can't Make You Love Me" Bonnie Riatt.
"Mollie" by Lil Dickie is pretty heartbreaking too.

"She Used To Be Hot" R. Castellano
A true heartbreaker. Downright depressing.

Richie insists that's about a gal he was hot for a long time ago, but I had the same initial reaction.

Just being a wise ass.
This one is both awesome and sad too. The amazing Robben Ford.

I have the version that was released as a B-side to Jeremy, and it doesn't have the harmonica. I'm not sure which version I like more, but this song almost hurts when I listen to it. There is such palpable pain in the way Eddie sings this one.

God, take your pick from the Steven Wilson catalogue! Off the top of my head, three standouts from his library would include Happy Returns, Routine (the entire Hand.Cannot.Erase album, while brilliant, still will bring tears to my eyes when you consider the story as a whole), and The Raven That Refused to Sing.
Also, much of the Sarah McLachlan catalogue. Hold On in particular.

D Minor is the saddest of all the keys, apparently, and makes people weep instantly...
