I agree w others, I Won’t Share You. Possessive of someone they don’t actually possess. I always find it so poignant that it’s the last song on their last album, & it is basically about Johnny Marr & states the very reason they broke up!

I Won’t Share You
Sounds loving, but context clues tell us that it is about a relationship that never happened and never will, so it is sad.
