I Would Be Sad

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I would be sad, because you left me all alone

I would be sad, because the lies that you had told

I would be sad, because I got left by a girl that I adore

I would be sad, because the love I had before

I meant what I said when I said I would settle down with you

Although I know it's not something that you were asking me to do

And I know we are young but we won't always be, so marry me

Lets not be that predictable young couple changing, moving on

But I can tell by watching you that theres no chance of pushing through

The odds are so against us, you know most young love it ends like this

I would be sad, because you left me all alone

I would be sad, because the lies that you had told

I would be sad, because I got left by a girl that I adore

I would be sad for all the love I had before

I meant what I said when I said I would

Rearrange my plans and change for you.

You know me; I've always been the kind with easy confidence

Confident enough to honestly believe that nothing out there

Stopping me especially not someone who's not loving me

Now listen here I told you I could live on without loving you

I was bluffing then, but it seems that just might have been the truth

Well my dad told me, "One day son, this girl will think of what she's done

And hurting you will be the first of many more regrets to come"

And he said, "If she doesn't call, then it's her fault and it's her loss"

I say, "It's not that simple see, but then again it just may be"

I would be sad, because you left me all alone

I would be sad, because the lies that you had told me

I would be sad, because I got left by a girl that I adore

I would be sad for all the love I had before

I would be sad for all the love I had before
