So, here I am, I'll spare you the long whiny story behind it all, so I'll set my request as it is.

Sad romantic music? Pretty much sums it all up?

Only thing I already have, is 'Misplaced Childhood' by Marillion, which, quite frankly, isn't a lot.

should be said, unrequited love is the best theme, if possible.

I want to cry. I seriously want to find that some whiny artist out there is in the same situation as a sad, teenager.

Yeah I do, and yeah, I'm kind of overreacting..

But... That Peter Hamill song wasn't quite off, which album is it from?

Whenever I listen to Second Life Syndrome by Riverside, I always think there's something sad underpinning the track, and it always sounds very emotional when he sings "But when that all shattered I felt I'd broken my fall
Couldn't pretend that I felt strong about us anymore
Without that help I finally started to live my own life
And I know I don't need you now", it always sounds very sad to me.

Lyrics:

From day to day
From hand to mouth
We're turning around ....

The Chamber of 32 Doors works for me.
It's on The Lamb...
Not a romantic love song but a sad song about the need to feel loved.

Damn straight. There are very few things more nauseating and self serving than happy love songs Dead

The Pineapple Thief isn't at the forefront of any major musical breakthroughs, but they do have some good stuff.  And it seems like they must go through 14 breakups per album with the types of songs they write.

In particular, check out:

"We Subside"
"Shoot First"
"Private Paradise"

"It's Hard To Love You" by Helmut Koellen. The song does have a steady beat to it, but is lyrically about a relationship that has gone sour.

Renaissance's Captive Heart. Also, Closer than Yesterday (though I dislike the arrangements).  And doesn't She Chameleon sort of qualify? Tongue

"Afterglow" by Genesis
"Pibroch (Cap in Hand)" by Jethro Tull
 
--Both very sad but more mature compositions that don't delve into teen angst.
 
And then there's "Wish You Were Here" By Pink Floyd, which is not necessarily a love song but it does deal with two people (whether they be friends, lovers or relations) and loss and regret.
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

Since you already know Marillion, try the song Script for a Jester's Tear
Definitely check out Peter Hammill's album Over. The album is about Hammill's divorce and It's one of the most personal (from the songwriter's point of view) sounding albums I've ever heard. The album is criminally underrated if you ask me.
Gentle Giant's Think of me With Kindness puts a lump in my throat pretty much everytime I hear it.
The Tangent's The Full Gamut is also a  very beautiful epic about divorce, but in spite of the theme it doesn't leave me feeling sad in the end.
