Little Miss Why So

"Why so sad?" he says
And his eyes say, "Don't you know
That it's not all about you anyway?"
Come and play, love, come and play
Always so sad
Want some pancakes? Why're you wearing all that makeup?
It's daylight again, and you look like I've failed you

Did you tell them about the time we met little Miss?
You'll love the way I tell it
And I'll yell it from the rooftops for you
He says

"Why so sad?" he says
Why you try so hard? Just relax and come to bed with me
Come laugh at boots and stripes and how
Every time we watch Netflix
We spend two hours deciding what to watch on Netflix
And me wearing your clothes
Just to surprise you when you come home all tired
Of those wankers that you serve all night, I love you, don't say anything
Just thank you, Missy, for being in my life, why are you sad?
He says

Let's try and fit into the same pair of stretchy old track pants
And just roll around inside each other for three whole days
We'll make our Christmas decorations
Out of toilet roll tubes and tinfoil
He says

You're going too fast
You'll burn up soon

I'll make a hundred paper planes
To decorate our tiny room
I've even learned to cook
Just stop staring at the moon
That's why I put up fairy lights, just to distract you
And stop listening to The Smiths

I don't know how to reach you when you get like this
I've been waiting for you to come home
I don't know how to reach you when you get like this
I've been waiting for you to come home
He says

Why so sad?
Why won't you let me follow in your footsteps
As you trek into that underground world?
What's that hold that the big dark king of nothing
Has got on you, my girl?

Why do you go down those stairs to that green dark cave
Where there's only faces of the unfamous dead?
Full of people just pretending to be brave
Why so much makeup?
You don't need it, you're so beautiful to me
Missy

You don't see daylight any more
Something's sucking out your core and it's so boring
It's so boring, it's so boring, it's boring
It's so boring, it's so boring, it's so boring
It's so boring, it's so boring et cetera
To see you tired all the time
Why won't you just tell them all to fuck off love and be mine?
He says

Why so sad?
I'm here and I'm alive
Stop making up death wishes, just take my lifeline
He says
Or at least that's a cliché to represent
What he meant (it's what I meant)

"Why won't you believe I love you
If I'm not hurting you?" he says
Can't you see that I'm enough for you
But you don't want me to be?
'Cause that means you'll actually have to be content

I don't know how to reach you when you get like this
I've been waiting for you to come home
I don't know how to reach you when you get like this
I've been waiting for you to come home

Why so, why so sad?
Stop asking why I'm sad (If I'm good, will you come back?)
Just know, it's enough to know I'm sad (If I'm good, will you come back?)

Yeah, but why?
Yeah, but why? (For Christ's sake, just say something)
He says, said
Wish I'd said
'Cause if I'd said then maybe
You'd still be snuggled here in my bed
Watching Netflix
And now I can't
'Cause you changed the password
When you left
