Sad Songs

You walk in and see her next to him

And you know that she’d always said they were friends

And you’re too numb to speak

But the whiskey feels right

At least the fire in your veins

Can help you get through the night

Lord knows we’re singing sad songs

We ain’t found no good ones

We just do our best to keep our heads up high

And sometimes words just can’t say

The heaviness of heartache

And tired, broken melodies come creeping out at night

Oh (x3)

You’ve been tired since you woke up today

‘Cause you’re working two jobs and neither really pays

But you still gotta eat

And the rent’s way past due

So you send up a prayer

Hoping it’ll get you through

Lord knows we’re singing sad songs

We ain’t found no good ones

We just do our best to keep our heads up high

And sometimes words just can’t say

The heaviness of heartache

And tired, broken melodies come creeping out at night

Oh (x3)

You’re wanting things that you can’t ever have

‘Cause he’s a hundred miles away, ‘cause she’s with another man

And you’re too scared to say

All the things in your head

‘Cause it could land you a love

Or leave you broken instead

Lord knows we’re singing sad songs

We ain’t found no good ones

We just do our best to keep our heads up high

And sometimes words just can’t say

The heaviness of heartache

And tired, broken melodies come creeping out at night

Oh (x6)
