"Too Good at Goodbyes" by Sam Smith

  • Why it's sad: Smith pulled from personal experience for this break-up ballad. "This song is about a relationship I was in and it's basically about getting good at getting dumped," Smith told E! News in a statement.
  • The saddest lyrics: "I'm never gonna let you close to me / Even though you mean the most to me / 'Cause every time I open up, it hurts"
