lyrics

Melancholy keys
Minor chords and tones
Once so unfamiliar
But I learned them all by rote

On the day we met
When I first heard your voice
You stole the joy
From in between the notes

You came in without warning
With your mournful kind of tunes
I gave you all my love songs
You gave me all your blues

And by the second chorus
You'd captured my heart
And we both knew
You'd break it from the start

Sad songs make me cry
And your voice sings them soft
I begged you don't flood my eyes
When that was your plan from the start

You left me by the bridge
And you left me to my own
Devices and what's worse
Is my vices are the songs

You robbed them of all comfort
Now sorrowful melodies
Is all the joy you'll ever sing to me

Sad songs make me cry
Your voice sings them soft
I begged you don't flood my eyes
When that was your plan from the start

Sad songs make me cry
Some days I still sing them songs
I begged you don't flood my eyes
When that was your plan from the start
