Top Ten Saddest Green Day Songs

Some people think this song is about the war in Iraq and 9/11 but it's actually about Billie Joe Armstrong's father dying.

I think this is the saddest Green Day song, much sadder than Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Anyways, good list.

This song is definitely a tearjerker. The backstory about this song is also really sad.

Sad yet beautiful song.

Depressing song in my opinion. Definitely one of my favorite Green Day songs.

How in the hell is this not with Time of Your Life and WMUWSE? Really sad lyrics and beat in this one. HAVE YOU GUYS EVEN SEEN THE MUSICAL VERSION YET?!

This should be second behind Wake Me Up When September Ends. Listen to it and you will know why.

This should be in the top 3 with Good Riddance and Wake Me Up When September Ends.

Yup. Much more sad than Basket Case or Homecoming (both good, just not sad)...

Even though this song describes anxiety issues, it doesn't do so very seriously at all.

How is this sad?

This song is an emotional roller coaster ride

Again, why isn’t this up with Good Riddance and WMUWSE? It has an extremely sad piano beat as well goes really slow. It should go up!

Very sad guitar strings. By the way, Miranda Lambert and Billie Joe did a sing along of this song in their God’s Favorite Band album.

"I think they found another cure...for broken hearts and feeling insecure." Such a great song.

The 'Know Your Enemy' mic drop gets me every time
