songs about being left behind/ alone?

Can anyone recommend songs—whether sad, angry, or anything in between—that capture the emotions of being left behind or feeling completely alone? I'm open to all genres, from pop to rock or anything else that conveys these feelings.

While there are all sorts of songs that follow that description, one song totally captured how I felt.

Nine Inch Nails wrote a song that is somewhat hard to find. It’s called "All That Could Have Been". The song was released on a rare collector’s edition of the album of the same name. Now and then it shows up on YouTube. Give it a shot.

edit: Kudos to "sheesh". 3 libras is also an awesome song. That song came out right after I was dumped by someone who really didn’t know me yet. That song struck so true.

Left behind- slipknot

It was written about how the singer grew up in poverty and then he became rich and famous by joining the band, and leaving behind all the great people he had met when he was poor, hence the name left behind.
