I envy the girls
Who associate the black dress
With somebody to impress
That would be something
Wouldn’t it

I envy the girls
Seemingly always unaffected
I’ve got my layers and I hate it
It’s really something
Isn’t it

Who am I to spit my fury
To show undone is no fun
But I’m blistered to the bone

Don’t be sad
Don’t be sad
Don’t be sad
You don’t know the things you’ve got
Till it’s gone though
What you have
What you have
What you have
Should be more than enough
To keep you off the tightrope

It turns on a dime
With changes in the weather
I bet my bottom dollar
The other shoe is going to drop
It turns on a dime
I try to pick it up but it doesn’t land
Dress rehearsing any type of tragedy
It’s really something
Isn’t it

Sadness is a mighty cascade
But I still keep that belief
When it’s lending me a hand
Good hours are used against me
Came out to play yesterday
Now I’m back at it again

Don’t be sad
Don’t be sad
Don’t be sad
You don’t know the things you’ve got
Till it’s gone though
What you have
What you have
What you have
Should be more than enough
To keep you off the tightrope
Don’t be sad
Don’t be sad
Don’t be sad
It’s not a way to be living your life so
Don’t be sad
Don’t be sad
Don’t be sad
Don’t be sad
Don’t be sad

And if you’re anything like me
You add all the gain of the shame to the pain
And start all over again
If you’re anything like me
You add all the gain of the shame to the pain
And start all over again

Sadness is a mighty cascade
Sadness is a mighty cascade

Don’t be sad
Don’t be sad
Don’t be sad
It’s not a way to be living your life so
Don’t be sad
Don’t be sad
Don’t be sad
Don’t be sad
Don’t be sad
