Love Is a Sad Song

You write letters to yourself, 'cause you know there is no one else

Who can feel how you feel or offer any help

Because you're down and you're out, but that light is left on in your house

'Cause you are just too scared, too damn scared to turn it off

That clatter on your finger

Will you turn it back around?

Because you tell me that you love me

But you know you haven't found a reason for breathing

Or standing on your own

And if you can't move yourself

You can't drag my broken bones

So now our love, love, love is a sad, sad song

A memory this softly sitting home

And our love, love, love is a sad, sad song

And I wait for you to come back to me and sing along

And my friends all say I am crazy for chasing after you

But those assholes don't know nothing

They don't know what we have been through

Like the time we flew down I-80

With stones we spell the truth.

We gave the world our love and now I am giving it back to you

As a sad, sad, sad, sad song

A memory this softly sitting home

And our love, love, love is a sad, sad song

And I wait for you to come back to me and sing along

And you write letters to yourself in those journals you keep

I'm just hoping those new pages will see passages of me

And now our love, love, love is a sad, sad song

A memory this softly sitting home

And our love, love, love is a sad, sad song

Sing this tune until my lonesome days are done
