It’s a tale you know well
I don’t have to tell you
There’s a kiss on your lips
and your body flies

You feel changed
You feel liquid
You are giddy

Then he never calls again
And you have no idea why

And every time it hurts just like the first time
And you swore you were smarter now than this


And all you want to listen to are sad songs
All you want to hear about are heartbreaking stories
You only want to listen to sad songs
You only what to talk about your heart breaking slowly
Only sad songs

It’s a tale with no known happy ending
it’s not clear what he thought
when he whispered those lines

there’s no hint of remorse
just the silence
go on: call him and ask
he may never say why

And every time you hate yourself for caring
And bitterness encroaches on your mind

So all you want to listen to are sad songs...
... you only what to talk about
your heart breaking lowly

Stupid boy
Stupid boy
Why’d you woo if you don't want her
Stupid girl
Stupid girl
Why’d you give him the your power

We all know you both felt strongly
We could see your bodies shaking
You weren’t faking when it happened
Was the truth of it too much for you to take

Don’t read books
Don’t write lists
Don’t say affirmations
Could be something you did
But you can’t fix it next time

You will fall just as hard for the next one
In a pheromonal daze
And you may never know why

And it will hurt as much as all the last times
And you will long for shelter from the grief

So go ahead and listen to sad songs...

I only want to listen to sad songs
I only want to hear about heartbreaking stories
I only want to listen to sad songs
I only what to talk about my heart breaking slowly

Only sad songs
