Sad Song Backwards

Every goddamn day since you left me

Hung me dry, betrayed and you F'ed me

I'm bereft, depressed and so confused

I didn't quite understand what you wanted

You'd shoot down Superman if you hunted

No one safe inside the sights you use

With red flags and shoppin' bags, you don't spare them horses

Just spare me all the grief and bitter pain

'Cause I can't handle one more night, you fill my heart with dynamite

And only one thing seems to keep me sane

Play a sad song backwards

And pretend I got you back

Make-believe that I'm not pacin' up and down these halls

And takin' double fistfuls of Prozac

Can't take a full step forward

Until I make two in reverse

I'm tired of livin' in this broke down, busted sad Joanna chorus

Take me back into the verse

I can always try to give a little love, good men always die

But never get enough, I say that's no business of mine

Lord, won't You come on down and try to carry me?

I may need a dose of shock therapy

Have I turned my blood into wine?

On all the surfaces, medicinal purposes

Mayday, S.O.S., it's true

That I swear I'd do anything, including get up and sing

To stop me now from thinking of you

Play a sad song backwards

And imagine you're not gone

And try to forget when I woke up at 11:10 this morning

I was facedown on the lawn

I'll deny that I'm not binging

On vodkas, Red Bulls, Lucky stokes

Until I glue back all the tiny little pieces scattered round

Of a heart you never broke

And I keep tryin' to find my way

(Find my way)

If you were years of Heaven

This here's Groundhog Day

Play a sad song backwards

And pretend I got you back

Make-believe that I'm not contemplatin' goin' to bed tonight

On the local railroad track

Hindsight is twenty-twenty and I see clearly, love is blind

Tell myself it's not a broken record skippin' off the shelf

And you're the last thing on my mind

(Play a sad song backwards)

A sad song backwards

(Play a sad song backwards)

A sad song backwards

(Hey, hey)

Sad song backwards
