Sad Words

There’s a bed, there’s a cupboard, and the cupboard is bare,
Not a love in my life, not a story to share
And I know that you’ve never known what I have known
But I wish that I’d never shown what I shouldn’t have shown
Yeah I shouldn’t have shown it to you

It’s been days, it’s been years, it’s been heartache and tears,
It’s been losin’ my joys and facin’ my fears,
I’ve been running away, far as distance can be,
I’ve been hiding my life, I just don’t wanna be
Yeah I don’t wanna be

Chorus
Oh now can you see all the trouble you’ve been?
Oh, you found me with buttercups under my chin
Then you picked all the petals ‘till I was alone
Now I’m watching the wallpaper, and I’m all on my own
Yeah I’m all on my own




I’ve the world at my feet and it’s bringing me down
I can’t make myself happy by crawling around
Like an ant who’s been tryin’ and tryin’
I’m a swan who’s forgotten she’s ever been flying
Yeah I feel like I’ve never been flying

Well, it’s bile and it’s blood and it’s coming down hard,
Forcing my hand like an unlucky card,
I’ve been dreaming of things and they just don’t exist,
I’ve been waiting to see who’s the next boy I’ve kissed
Oh who’s the next boy I’ll kiss

Chorus

For the hundred and twenty-third day in a row
It’s so cold but I know that it’s not gonna snow
I can’t change and I’m goin’ away,
I don’t think, I can’t speak cos I’ve got nothin’ to say

Chorus
