Sad Songs

Melancholy keys in minor chord and tones
Were once so unfamiliar but I learned them all by rote
From the day we met when I first heard your voice
You stole the joy from in between the notes
You came in without warning with mournful kinds of tunes
I gave you all my love songs you gave me all your blues
By the second chorus you captured my heart
When we both knew you’d break it from the start
Sad songs make me cry
Your voice sings them soft
I begged you don’t flood my eyes
That was your plan all along
You left me by the bridge and you left me to my own
Devices and what’s worse is my vices are the songs
You robbed them of all comfort now sorrowful melody
Is all the love you’ll ever sing to me
Sad songs make me cry
Your voice breaks my heart
I begged you don’t flood my eyes
But that was your plan form the start
Sad songs make me cry
Some days I still sing those songs
I begged you don’t flood my eyes
But that was your plan all along
