lyrics

Sad boy, let your hair down
Sad boy, go to bed now and
Think of all the magic that could happen
When we dream

Sad boy, quit your shaking
Sad boy, I know you feel that you are wasting
But you can't just keep on lying to yourself
Pain is not all you've felt

So go ahead and shit on me
I wanna make something pretty

Well sad girl, no we don't get upset now
Oh no, no, no not in that crown
That Midas sparkling, shining, shimmering crown
I don't know why you're frowning

So sad boy, no don't you worry
Well sad boy hold on slow down
There's no need to hurry or worry

'Cause mama I didn't listen
I took something that I shouldn't have and now I'm
Sprawled out on the kitchen floor

Oh, mama I didn't listen
I took something that I shouldn't have and now I
Can't stop shaking on her bedroom floor

Mama I didn't listen
I took something that I shouldn't have and now I
Can't stop bleeding on the bathroom floor
Oh lord

Nothing's gonna save me from myself
I'm not asking, no, I'm begging for some help
I can't fall asleep 'cause I'm afraid
I'll see you when I wake up

"Sad boy, time to get up now.
Sad boy, let me see that smile."
