Well here's the deal
I got this thing
I call it "sad"
And it calls me home
And I hold this sadness inside of me
And it's here to stay, oh, but I wish it'd leave
Sometimes I scare her way down low
And I forget that I'm not alone
But then she comes out late at night
And makes me do things I don't like
See there's this man and he says I'm fine
So I take his time and I tell him lies
And he does me right and he gets me high
And I bring him down and I watch him cry
'Cause I've got this sadness inside of me
And it's here to stay, oh, but I wish it'd leave
One night I had myself a dream
Me and Sad played hide-and-seek
And she could not find me 'cause I would not cry
But it make me mean and I woke up tired
Oh, I've got this sadness
There is no shadow without the light
There is a sadness both day and night
