Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Make the sadness go away, come back another day
For years, I've tried to teach, but their eyes are empty
Empty too, I have become, for them, I must die
A sad and troubled race, an ungrateful, troubled place
[Verse 2]
I see the sadness in their eyes (Melancholy in their cries)
Devoid of all the passion (The human spirit cannot die)
Look at the pain around me, this is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me, this is what I'll die for
[Verse 3]
Make the sadness go away, come back another day
The things I've said and done don't matter to anyone
Still you push me to see something I can never be
Why am I the shattered king? I don't mean anything
[Verse 4]
I see the sadness in their eyes (Melancholy in their cries)
Devoid of all the passion (The human spirit cannot die)
Look at the pain around me, this is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me, this is what I'll die for
[Verse 5]
I see the sadness in their eyes (Melancholy in their cries)
Devoid of all the passion (The human spirit cannot die)
Look at the pain around me, this is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me, this is what I'll die for
[Verse 6]
I see the sadness in their eyes (Melancholy in their cries)
(Make the sadness go away)
Devoid of all the passion (The human spirit cannot die)
(For them, for them, I must die)
Look at the pain around me, this is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me, this is what I'll die for
