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)
