Born 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.
Keeping my head above water is all that I know how to do
But it's kinda beautiful, underneath it all
Ever since I was a child, I was always a sad one
And "why you gotta cry all the time, all the time?"
Keeping my head above water is all that I can do
Did anybody ever teach you
Some people are born sad
Am I just born sad, born sad, born sad, born sad, born sad, born sad.
Clinging my boots to my chest
Asking the pages
"Will anybody anywhere, ever love me back?"
I got some secrets they keep creeping out in my sleep
Asking my good God, "will they ever go away?"
Am I just born sad, born sad, born sad, born sad, born sad, born sad.
Ohhhh
(Everybody wants to be happy, nobody knows how to do it [repeated])
(Crying and laughing at the same time)
Ohhhh
Get out of bed
Sometimes it's hard to get out of bed
Sometimes I don't get out of bed
But you gotta get out of bed
You gotta get out of bed
Sometimes it's hard to get out of bed
Sometimes I don't get out of bed
Sometimes it's hard to get out of bed
Sometimes it's hard to get out of bed
Maybe I'm born sad born sad
It's okay I'm born sad born sad
It's okay I'm born sad born sad
Maybe I'm born sad
Maybe I'm born sad
Maybe I'm born sad
