I’ve always loved the saddest fiction
And I’ve always made up stories on my own
Sometimes ideas come from what I’m living
But most of the time I really don’t know

Don’t ask me why
That’s just how my mind works
Creative kinds yeah we’re kind of the worst

But can you blame me?
Isn’t the plot so pretty?

I know I write sad songs
Baby I don’t want you to take it wrong
My lines ain’t got a hidden meaning
So don’t go reading in between them
And if I’m singing bout a heartbreak
Don't go assuming it’s about you in any way
Cause it ain’t based on us
Baby, you’re the one I want
Even when I write sad songs

I kinda feel like the happier I am
The sadder my words are gonna be
And I know it doesn’t make any damn sense but
It’s a good sign for you and me

Baby it’s kinda what you signed up for
The day you asked me if I would be yours

And I get that it stresses you out
I’m not trying to bring you down

I know I write sad songs
Baby I don’t want you to take it wrong
My lines ain’t got a hidden meaning
So don’t go reading in between them
And if I’m singing bout a heartbreak
Don't go assuming it’s about you in any way
Cause it ain’t based on us
Baby, you’re the one I want
Even when I write sad songs

I write happy ones too
And those are all about you
But if the lyrics leave you crying
Don’t go catastrophizing

I know I write sad songs
Baby I don’t want you to take it wrong
My lines ain’t got a hidden meaning
So don’t go reading in between them
And if I’m singing bout a heartbreak
Don't go assuming it’s about you in any way
Cause it ain’t based on us
Baby, you’re the one I want
Even when I write sad songs
