Singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran knows how to make some of the saddest lines upbeat. His lyricism is top tier, and accompanied by his acoustic guitar and infectious pop melodies, and the Brit often strikes musical gold. See which of our favorite Ed Sheeran songs warms (or breaks) our hearts.

• 10. Drunk

  Share

  On cold days cold plays out like the band's name / I know I can't heal things with a handshake / You know I can change, as I began saying / You cut me wide open like landscape / Open bottles of beer but never champagne / To applaud you with the sound that my hands make.

• 9. The A Team

  Share

  The worst things in life come free to us / 'Cause we're just under the upper hand / And go mad for a couple grams

• 8. Wake Me Up

  Share

  So I'll take you to the beach and walk along the sand / And I'll make you a heart pendant with a pebble held in my hand / And I'll carve it like a necklace / So the heart falls where your chest is / And now a piece of me is a piece of the beach and it falls just where it needs to be and rests peacefully.
• 7. I’m A Mess

  Share

  And all of my hopes / All of my own words / Are all over written on the signs / But you're on my road / Walking me home.

• 6. Thinking Out Loud

  Share

  When your legs don't work like they used to before / And I can't sweep you off of your feet / Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love? Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

• 5. Photograph

  Share

  We keep this love in a photograph / We made these memories for ourselves / Where our eyes are never closing / Hearts are never broken / And time's forever frozen, still.
• 4. Shirtsleeves

  Share

  And I'll hold on to the words you spoke of / Anchored down in the throat, love / And I'm captain of this sinking boat now / With just one armband to carry me home.

• 3. Hearts Don’t Break Around Here

  Share

  Took my heart upon a one way trip / Guess she went wandering off with it / None like most women I know / This one will bring it back whole.

• 2. U.N.I.

  Share

  And I don't get waves of missing you anymore / They're more like tsunami tides in my eyes / Never getting dry, so I get high / Smoke away the days, never sleep with the light on / Weeks pass in the blink of an eye
• 1. Bad Habits

  Share

  My bad habits lead to late nights endin' alone / Conversations with a stranger I barely know / Swearin' this will be the last, but it probably won't / I got nothin' left to lose, or use, or do.
