Sad Songs

(Formerly known as Blue)
by Brianna lane 2003

You listen to sad songs too much and it shows
Your heart’s been broken one too many times
And everyone knows
You’re drifting from the shore
Drowning yourself in the truth

I can’t save you from your colorful dreams
And I can’t save me from you
So we’re going down together
We’re going ‘round in this game
Pretending this is new

letters never sent with no intensions of sending them
your selfish little hand writes them down with a poison pen
you take your time with each excuse

I can’t save you from your colorful dreams
And I can’t save me from you
So we’re going down together
We’re going ‘round in this game
Pretending this is new

Peel the labels off beer bottles neatly
I disagree sweetly when you say
Everything’s ok
It’s not ok

I can’t save you from your colorful dreams
And I can’t save me from you
So we’re going down together
We’re going ‘round in this game
Pretending this is…
I can’t save you from your colorful dreams
And I can’t save me from you
So we’re going down together
We’re going ‘round in this game
Pretending this is new
