Song filter: Mellow tune about a guy reminiscing about being in the grocery store with his (now ex) girlfriend...

What is a sad song, sang by a male artist, about a guy who is nostalgic about his exgirlfriend?
I think the lyrics go something like how they got in trouble at the grocery store, how she never got him, and that they are now broken up. It's very Ben Folds-like in terms of melancholy songs. I checked to see if it was Ben Folds, or Ben Folds Five, but it was not him or John Mayer. However, it is by a male singer and is quite a depressing song.

You might enjoy a similar-feeling (and, in my mind, better) song in Machine Gun Fellatio's Unsent Letter.

Everything Reminds Me of Her and I Better Be Quiet Now by Elliott Smith. Two of his not-completely-bitter songs about ex-loves.

One of the greatest songs ever put to tape, a song that still puts chills down my spine every single time I hear it, is a tune recorded by the great John Peel before his radio career: Mike Hart singing his song "Almost Liverpool 8."
It is better than all these other songs, as fine as they may be. And it ought to be heard much more often.

You might want to give an album called "In Loving Memory Of" by Big Wreck a try.

I can't listen to "Good Life" by Francis Dunnery without choking up. Same kinda thing.

Babyface, "Nobody knows it but me". Ignore the 'talking part' at the beginning.

There's also the throw-it-into-Pandora trick, if you want more that's similar.

Cornerstone on the Arctic Monkey's recent album Humbug is a little more rock-oriented, but one of the saddest nostalgic songs I've ever heard.
