Sadness is a Shade of Blue - Lapsley

Happiness is like the shade

In the desert

Sadness is a shade of blue

Ooh

And the future is a street lamp in a town not built yet

And the past is you

I know you understand the darkness like me

And it’s a heavy weight for only two feet

But you don’t help yourself get better

And I can’t change this ever-changing weather

Happiness is like the branch

Of an olive tree

Sadness is an avalanche

Ooh

You know that winter never seemed to end

(You know that winter never seemed to end)

Tell me why nothing I did was good enough

Baby, why you living like this?

So sad, so sad

I know you understand the darkness like me

And it’s a heavy weight for only two feet

But you don’t help yourself get better

And I can’t change this ever-changing weather

I know you understand the darkness like me

And it’s a heavy weight for only two feet

But you don’t help yourself get better

And I can’t change this ever-changing weather

I know you understand the darkness like me (Tell me why nothing I did was good

enough)

And it’s a heavy weight for only two feet (Baby, why you living like this?)

But you don’t help yourself get better (So sad)

And I can’t change this ever-changing weather (So sad)

I know you understand the darkness like me (Tell me why nothing I did was good

enough)

And it’s a heavy weight for only two feet (Baby, why you living like this?)

But you don’t help yourself get better (So sad)

And I can’t change this ever-changing weather (So sad)

(Tell me why nothing I did was good enough)

Tell me why nothing I did was good enough

Baby, why you living like this?

So sad

(Tell me why nothing I did was good enough)
