I sat down to write a happier song But I could only try for so long Despite my intentions it's so very clear It's just another sad song that nobody's gonna hear I told my hands to make 'em dance But my stubborn heart never gave me a chance They say the best way to kill a career Is keep on singing sad songs that nobody's gonna hear I wish it was easy to lie But it ain't always rainbows and sunshine Sometimes what I need is a lonesome melody 'Cause I find it eases my mind I try to remember there's people out there Who just want to laugh who don't want to care If I close my eyes will they all disappear And make this another sad song that nobody's gonna hear I wish it was easy to lie But it ain't always rainbows and sunshine Sometimes what I need is a lonesome melody 'Cause I find it eases my mind I sat down to write a happier song But I could only try for so long Maybe this time it won't fall on deaf ears Like all those other sad songs that nobody's gonna hear
