Sweet Melancholy

I've been restless
The paralysis leaves me breathless
My nights are too long
And I lie awake till dawn

Fake love hurts
But real love hurts even worse
So I toss and turn in my bed
There's a voice inside my head

She said, take your pain
And take your sorrow
And make something beautiful

So I go, I go to the girl inside
To see what she hides
And I see her sitting in a tree
Looking back on a memory
In sweet melancholy

I don't need anything
Except eighty-eight keys and six strings
Write some empty words
Sing about stupid feelings

And all my pain
And all my sorrow

So I've been searching for the girl inside
To see who's by her side
But all I see is her sitting in a tree
Looking back on a memory
In sweet melancholy

Now I'm giving up and letting go
All my troubles and all my woes
I've been sad for far too long
So I chose to put it in a song
Oh, oh

I go, I go to the girl inside
To see what she hides
I see her sitting in a tree
Looking back on a memory
In sweet melancholy
