Sad Song - Lenka

Don’t tell me you wanna be

The kind of girl who’s drowning

And don’t go holding on to anything

That’s gonna keep you frowning, darling

Everyone’s compelled to look into the mirror

When they’re crying

Just because your tears are pretty

Doesn’t mean they’ll get you by

Sing me a sad song and make me feel better

Sing me a happy song and I might start to cry

Because everything feels like it’s going around in circles

And everyone knows that the world is upside down

You were once a little baby

Full of optimistic wonder

So what got into you to make you think

That it could pull you under, honey

Could it be that we were under

The impression life was perfect?

(La, la, la, la, la)

And when the bubble burst

We understood that every part of it hurts

Sing me a sad song and make me feel better

Sing me a happy song and I might start to cry

Because everything feels like it’s going around in circles

And everyone knows that the world is upside down

I’m going to color my glasses rose

And I’m going to follow where the rainbow goes

And my pot of gold will be waiting

Sing me a sad song and make me feel better

Sing me a happy song and I might start to cry

Because everything feels like it’s going around in circles

And everyone knows that the world is upside down

Yeah, everyone knows the world is upside down
