He hides behind his cigarette Let's the smoke linger by his lips Exhales his sorrows watches them float to the heavens As the clouds taste his kiss And I can’t help but take a picture To catch the sadness in his grin Oh sad boy, sad boy, who hurt you so bad? So bad like this? Who hurt you so bad like this? Well shit, not even God knows what I saw in you Traipsing around like you were always blue But at the touch of love you turned a scarlet hue And that’s all I ever wanted to do Don’t you like friends enough to stay the night? Said: If I don’t leave no I’ll never make it out alive So you walked away left devastation in your wake Oh devastate me too Oh darling let me be broken with you Oh sad boy, sad boy, who did this to you? Well shit, not even God knows what I saw in you Traipsing around like you were always blue But at the touch of love you turned a scarlet hue And that’s all I ever wanted to do All that cheap talk, cold walks, cigarettes Those drunk thoughts, 12 blocks, heartbroken regrets Shattered bottles, alleyways empty Crowded front porches and kids on lsd He’ll always live like lightning Not scared of any damn thing One day he’ll crash like thunder Oh how much that’ll hurt? Oh sad boy, sad boy, how much that’ll hurt? I’ll write songs about you All about how your heart and how you're broken and bruised Even after you die you won’t be dead You’ll live forever in your lover’s head I won’t let you go, I won’t let you go Won’t let you go
