Like Being Sad
(lyrics by Allen Galton)

It’s 3 o’clock you're all alone
And thinking you’re the only one
To ever feel this way
It’s not your fault
How could it be
It’s plain to see that everyone else
Is to blame
You just want company in your hell
You won’t be happy
Till you drown everyone in your well

I think that you like being sad
Only slightly less than being mad
God forbid that you have
Yourself a good time
Why don’t you sit on your hands
Try to ignore the dance
Cause there’s only one way
You can ensure you won’t smile

Friday night the time is right
To load’em up and roll the dice
But you won’t let them go
The storm comes in and rolls again
On you my friend how will you spend
Your last days on this road
Why do you lie to yourself?
What is this need
To drag people down in your mess?

I think that you like being sad
Only slightly less than being mad
God forbid that you have
Yourself a good time
Why don’t you sit on your hands
Try to ignore the dance
Cause there’s only one way
You can ensure you won’t smile

And in the end while looking back
You notice that your ship is cracked
You're sailing all alone
The tide comes in to wash away
And fill you up with yesterdays
That you, now must own
You’ll never see the lie (light)
How you gonna make land
If you won’t even put up a fight

I think that you like being sad
Only slightly less than being mad
God forbid that you have
Yourself a good time
Why don’t you sit on your hands
Try to ignore the dance
Cause there’s only one way
You can ensure you won’t smile
I think that you like being sad
Only slightly less than being mad
God forbid that you have
Yourself a good time
I think that you like being sad
