I’ve an emptiness inside
That can only be describe
As a sad song
With the paint all peeling off
All the world I used to know
It’s a sad song
He gave my life a meaning
When all hope inside had die
The he took the meaning back
And left me feeling oh disillusioned
He just walked out of my world
Like you’d walk out of a room
Oh you sad song

Sing along with my song
If you’re lost and you’re alone
Sing along if your song
Has theme of love gone wrong
Sing along and belong
Don’t hold back we’re growing strong
Sing along sing your song
Sing your sad your sad sad song

Ain’t it strange the way life goes
First you’re used and then disposed
Like a sad song
Saying love was just a word
Used to keep you hanging there
Like a sad song
You swallowed all those promises
So called upon you are
And following his footsteps
No matter just how far must follow
He just walked out of a room
Oh you sad song

Sing along with my song
If you’re lost and you’re alone
Sing along if your song
Has theme of love gone wrong
Sing along and belong
Don’t hold back we’re growing strong
Sing along sing your song
Sing your sad you sad sad song…
