Sad Girl

Well, she'd hide inside her room next to the records that she collects

Looking for better ways to spend the hours on the days that don't connect

She was down on herself

And just wishing that she had someone to say

"Sometimes the sad feels better than good, and that's okay"

Sometimes we do want blue skies to fade away into clouds of perfect grey

She thought a life of just happiness sounds pretty sad anyway

She was a sad girl, lonely girl

And sometimes, late at night, felt like the only one in the world

The only one who would stay inside and stare, lost at the ceiling

Just trying to find someone or something to believe in

That slight feeling that would keep her still

On the days that ran on too long

So she'd surround herself with noise to stop the silence from switching on

Yeah, she'd scream it out while sitting on dying stars she's wished upon

Just wishing she was normal

Her friends all said the same

That she wasn't really there, off lost in thought or giving sadness her own name

'Cause she was a sad girl, a lonely girl

And sometimes, late at night, felt like the only one in the world

The only one who would wish the ground would open and swallow her up

As her mum would softly ask

"How do you hold someone when they refuse to be loved?"

And maybe you've seen her too?

Head down in the blues, this sad girl who stayed alone

'Cause it was all that she ever knew
