OFF-TOPIC: 10 Dramatic Music Videos That Will Make You Cry

Put on some waterproof makeup and get your tissues ready! You will definitely need all of that if sad stories and songs make you cry easily because that's today's (off-)topic! And should you be in a very good mood right now, we also recommend you to check back later.

There are plenty of heartbreaking music videos out there, so we decided to put together a list with ten examples! The criteria for all of them: A dramatic plot or back story, so clips with only the song being sad don't count.
As always, those are just a few examples, so if you can think of more, feel free to leave a comment below or tell us on Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr! Maybe there is going to be a part two in the future too, so stay tuned!
We'd also like to know which video you think is the most heartbreaking one, so please let us know!
