Sad Song from Yesterday's Diary by Melanie Lowe

Sad Song

I had a dream that you’re not what you seem
Or the way I believe you to be when I see you
Is it for real that the way that I feel
Doesn’t really appeal to people in general

You had a perfect way
Of smiling through words as sharp as knives
I see the light of day
Riddled with pieces of broken lives

Chorus
It’s a sad, sad song
We sing for the times that love went wrong
It’s the price we pay for holding on for just too long
It’s the same old tune
We jump into feelings much too soon
And I have to say
If time has its way I’ll be leaving soon
I have been holding on too long

I’ve been revealing the things that I’m feeling
Without really meaning to let you see through me
Say have you noticed my life is more focussed
I’m no longer looking for you when I’m lonely

Don’t need to hear those lines
I think it’s time you let it go
Can’t you see I’m just fine
Thought it was time that I told you so
