Better When I'm Sad
They say you used to play
Oh so sweetly and oh so softly
Back in the day
Your words came easy
You sang of sorrow in such a haunting melody
I play better when I'm sad
I play better when you leave me
Left alone in the dark
I'll turn the pain to poetry
I sleep better when you're gone
When my lonely lies next to me
I might be in pain again but at least I play free
And when all my demons fled
I lost all of my best writers
I don't want you to hurt me again
But I know that you will
Heartbreak is the best
Get this shit of my chest
Before I lie still
I play better when I'm sad
I play better when you leave me
Left alone in the dark
I'll turn the pain to poetry
I sleep better when you're gone
When my lonely lies next to me
I might be in pain again but at least I play free
I don't want you to hurt me again
But I know that you will
I'll turn to the pen and not to the pills
Drained my whole bank account all on cheap thrills
I play better when I'm sad
Oh so sweetly and oh so softly
Back in the day
Your words came easy
You sang of sorrow in such a haunting melody
I play better when I'm sad
I play better when you leave me
Left alone in the dark
I'll turn the pain to poetry
I sleep better when you're gone
When my lonely lies next to me
I might be in pain again but at least I play free
And when all my demons fled
I lost all of my best writers
I don't want you to hurt me again
But I know that you will
Heartbreak is the best
Get this shit of my chest
Before I lie still
I play better when I'm sad
I play better when you leave me
Left alone in the dark
I'll turn the pain to poetry
I sleep better when you're gone
When my lonely lies next to me
I might be in pain again but at least I play free
I don't want you to hurt me again
But I know that you will
I'll turn to the pen and not to the pills
Drained my whole bank account all on cheap thrills
I play better when I'm sad
