Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:
"Shame"
The Lyrics: Once, I swore I would die for you,
but I never meant like this. Why: And so, the singer's obsession leads to suicide or death by broken heart. (See, Art? You're supposed to submit lyrics that actually have a depressing meaning, not make one up.)
