This isn't inspirational, rather the opposite, but it's incredibly touching.
"If you get close to her, kiss her once for me/
Have always respected her, in doing what she did in getting free/
Whatever makes her happy, I won't stand in her way/
Cause the bitter taste still lingers on from the night I tried to make herr stay", Dylan - If you see her, say hello
That last line is so full on, so real, and it is very autobiographical. It is one of the few songs (most of which are on blood on the tracjs) which are clearly about his divorce.
Another one, "I don't pretend to know what you want, but I offer love", Crowded house- Distant Sun
It may not seem like much, but it just seems to sum up that feeling when you don't know what someone needs or wants, maybe they are drifting apart, and all you can do is simplay say "I offer love"
"Dozens of people spontaneously combust each year, it's just not that widely reported".
