Song For A Sad Girl

Some nights are long and
Sometimes she’ll sleep the whole day through.
I get the feeling,
There ain’t always much that i can do.
So we just stay at home again.
Make up a lie to tell our friends.
Why am i here singing a song for a sad girl
Why am i writing poetry about her smile
Why ain’t she living like a king of the whole world
While everything around her is going out of style.
She don’t talk about the weather
Hates it when i say she’s with the band
She jokes about her cancer,
And we laugh at things that she don’t understand.
Then she’ll get high and dance around,
To darkness on the edge of town
Why am i here singing a song for a sad girl
Why am i writing poetry about her smile
Why ain’t she living like a king of the whole world
While everything around her is going out of style,
Well i guess happy takes a while
Hey hey
So we don’t always get to choose
Just make the best of what you’ve got to lose
Why am i here singing a song for a sad girl
Why am i writing poetry about her smile
Why ain’t she living like a king of the whole world
While everything around her is going out of style,
Well i guess happy takes a long, long, long while.
