How am I supposed to let the sadness go
When it's all that I have
It's all I've ever known?!

Oh, it's the loyal friend
Who will be with me till the end
It's more than I can say of you
Or anybody else

Did you really think
That I expected less from you?
You were supposed to be my friend
So quite the opposite was true!

But, I know, whatever I did say or that I'll do
It never did and never will make a damn difference to you

Your absence made my heart grow cold (er)
Yet it would always re-ignite
The moment, when I saw your face
Each time I heard your voice

Love, fuck, what can I say
That hasn't all been said before?
It's the oldest story in the book
And that book is such
A gawddamn bore

I fell into the strangest mood
Every time I left
Oh, so many thoughts
And all of them were sad

I am fine now, though
Oh, isn't it fine?!
I'm getting better and getting worse
At the same bloody time

How can I let the darkness go?
It is what I am
It's all I've ever known
It is what I am

Oh, it's the loyal friend
Who will be with me till the end
That's more than I can say of you
Or anybody else
