Sad Boy

He hides behind his cigarettes

Lets the smoke linger by his lips

Exhales his sorrows, watches them float to the heavens

As the clouds taste his kiss

And you can't help but take

A picture to catch the sadness in his grin

Oh, sad boy, sad boy, who hurt you so bad?

So bad like this

Oh, who hurt you so bad like this?

Well, shit, not even God knows what I saw in you

Traipsing around like you were always blue

But at the touch of love, you turned to scarlet hue

It's all I ever wanted to do

Don't you like your friends enough to stay the night?

You said, "If I don't leave now, I'll never make it out alive"

So you walked away, left devastation in your wake

Oh, devastate me too

Oh, darling, let me be broken with you

Oh, sad boy, sad boy, who did this to you?

Well, shit, not even God knows what I saw in you

Traipsing around like you were always blue

But at the touch of love, you turned to scarlet hue

It's all I ever wanted to do

All that cheap talk, cold walks, cigarettes

These drunk thoughts, 12 blocks, heartbroken regrets

Shattered bottles, alleyways empty

Crowded front porches and kids on LSD

He'll always live like lightning

Not scared of any damn thing

One day, he'll crash like thunder

Oh, how much that'll hurt

Oh, sad boy, sad boy, how much that'll hurt

I'll write songs about you

All about your heart and how you're broken and bruised

Even after you die, you won't be dead

You'll live forever in your lover's head

I won't let you go

I won't let you go

I won't let you go
