Lyrics
I could tell you my heart's broken
And I don't think it'll ever mend
You'd just hear those cliches spoken
Off the cuff, time and time again
It's too late in the game
And the novelty's palled
Words are all that remain
And sad songs say fuck all
I could say I'm lost without you
As though I knew were I was before
You gave me no cause to doubt you
My faith was misplaced on the killing floor
I could make myself plane
Now the engines have stalled
My mood waxes and wanes
But sad songs say fuck all
At least if I'm singing
I'm not crying
That's something
We should all be grateful for
Now the beast has been tamed
And the tales have grown tall
They tell me it's time to refrain
But sad songs say fuck all
Sad songs say fuck all
You can't expect me to translate the best of me
Into the metre of doleful soliloquy
The sum of what we were, refuses to transfer
To internal rhymes or to dubious metaphor
Morose and sedentary, bronzing my memories
Grasping at my last relapse into melody
I should have said before, everything heretofore
Waited to open my mouth, 'til you shut the door
Major to minor, from public to personal
Try as you might, nothing softens the fall
Because sad songs say fuck all
