Sad Song
Christina Perri
Lovestrong (2011)

Today I'm gonna write a sad song
Gonna make it really long
So that everyone can see
That I'm very unhappy

I wish I wasn't always wrong
I wish it wasn't always my fault
The finger that you're pointing
Has knocked me on my knees
And all you need to know is
I'm so sorry
It's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know
That growing up goes slow

Wonder what my mom and dad would say
If I told them that I cry each day
Tired enough to live so far away

I wish I wasn't always cold
I wish I wasn't always alone
But the parties over
How will I get home

And all you need to know is
I'm so sorry
It's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know
That growing up goes slow

The rules are meant to bend
And you swore you were my friend
Now I have to start all over again
No one's going to take your place
And I'm scared you'll never save
All the pieces of the love we made

And I'm so sorry
It's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know
That I can slip and fall and you won't let me go
Just let me know
That growing up goes slow

And I'm so sorry
It's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know
That growing up goes slow
