No one wants to hear a happy song
That might just be where I went wrong
No one wants to hear a happy song
People only ever want to cry along with you
Sadness is the key I choose to write in
Sadness is the key I fit the most regret and spite in
I'll try to write a song to make me glad
There's no two ways around it, they're all so very bad
No one wants to hear a happy song
I think we've all known this all along
No one wants to hear a happy song
People only ever want to cry along with you
You'll always have more tears than you'll have friends
Your tears will always be there with you till the very end
I know I'm sounding sombre and morose
But it's sounding better than the happier songs I wrote
No one wants to hear a happy song
I think we've all known this all along
No one wants to hear a happy song
People only ever want to cry along with you
Sometimes I bleed in black and white
Sadness stole the colour, the colour from my life
My head hurts from crying, but it doesn't stop me trying
To reach total happiness through total sadness by writing sad songs to make me happy...
No one wants to hear a happy song
I think we've all known this all along
No one wants to hear a happy song
People only ever want to cry along with you
