Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I took a pill in Ibiza
To show Avicii I was cool
When I finally got sober, felt ten years older
But fuck it, it was something to do
[Verse 2]
I'm living out in LA
I drive a sports car just to prove
I'm a real big baller 'cause I made a million dollars
And I spend it on girls and shoes
[Verse 3]
You don't wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
Don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
[Verse 4]
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
Don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
[Verse 5]
All I know
Are sad songs
Are sad songs
Darling, all I know
Are sad songs
Are sad songs
[Verse 6]
I'm just a singer
Who already blew his shot
I get along with old timers 'cause my name's a reminder
Of a pop song people forgot
[Verse 7]
And I can't keep a girl, no
'Cause as soon as the sun comes up
I cut 'em all loose and my work's my excuse
But the truth is I can't open up
[Verse 8]
You don't wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
Never don't wanna step off that roller coaster
And be all alone
[Verse 9]
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
[Verse 10]
All I know
Are sad songs
Are sad songs
Darling, all I know
Are sad songs
Are sad songs
Are sad songs
[Verse 11]
I took a plane to my hometown
I brought my pride and my guitar
All my friends are all gone, but there's manicured lawns
And the people still think I'm a star
[Verse 12]
I walk around downtown
I met some fans on Lafayette
They said, "Tell us how to make it, 'cause we're gettin' real impatient"
So I looked 'em in the eye and said
[Verse 13]
Don't wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster
And be all alone
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
[Verse 14]
All I know
Are sad songs
Are sad songs
Darling, all I know
Are sad songs
Are sad songs
Are sad songs
