Sad Songs
Ever notice
How so many songs
Are sad songs
Even the really rockin’ ones
Are kind of sad
When you dig into the lyrics
I’ve been told
The best creativity
Comes from the deepest pain
From the really tortured souls
I guess that’s why
So many great artists
Meet their demise
All too young
I don’t think I’m going anywhere
Anytime soon
But lately it seems
That all those sad songs
Mean something to me
A friend asked
If I was a tortured soul
I answered with a qualified yes
It helps with the creativity
But since I’m not a great writer
I guess I’m not tortured
I’m just a guy
Who hears a lot of sad song
