I’ll Be the Sad Song
[Verse 1]
If your life is a record
People and places are the songs
There'll be slow and there'll be fast ones
Lookin' forward, lookin' back ones
On that tiny two-lane town that you call home
They'll all make sense when they're together
If your life is a record
[Chorus]
I'll be the sad song
Your "good love gone bad" song
The part of your heart that's bittersweet
Couldn't be your happy song
But at least we had a song
So I'll be the sad song you sing
[Verse 2]
Some night, when it's raining
Your movin' on song's fast asleep
You'll pour a glass of something
And let your heart start running
To that summer at that bar on Division Street
That last verse, you'll wanna change it
Some night, when it's rainin'
[Chorus]
I'll be the sad song
Your "good love gone bad" song
The part of your heart that's bittersweet
Couldn't be your happy song
But at least we had a song
So I'll be the sad song you sing
[Bridge]
If your life is a record
People and places are the songs
[Chorus]
I'll be your sad song
Your "what we almost had" song
Your "mighta been, but wasn't meant to be"
Couldn't be your happy song
But at least we had a song
So I'll be the sad song you sing
'Cause you'll always be that song to me
