Lyrics
Tonight I Wanna Be Sad
I know you wanna talk to me but I won?t let you
I know you wanna hold onto me but I won?t let you near
I know it?s almost cruel
I know you wanna come inside but I won?t let you
I know you wanna prop me up but I won?t let you push
I know it?s so damn cold right now
I know you?re tired of me
It?s alright, I am OK
But tonight I wanna be sad
I am so tired and nothing?s right
But tonight I wanna be sad
I know you wanna make me smile but I won?t let you
No you?re never gonna let me down, but you?re never ever never gonna lift me up
I know it must seem cruel to you
You?re not losing me
Babe it?s alright, I am OK
Tonight I wanna be sad
I want you, and I?ll be fine
But tonight I wanna be sad
It creeps up on me and you
Most times it?s out of the blue
Babe I want you around, just not right now
