[Verse 1]
Sitting with my friends over drinks at a bar
Everybody's talking
Thought that I could handle a simple conversation
But I still almost lost it
[Pre-Chorus]
Got close to a meltdown
Said, "I can't do this here"
Giving a pep talk to myself
In a bathroom mirror
[Chorus]
I can't be sad, I can't be sad
I can't let you think it hurts this bad
I'm fine (Ah-ah)
Won't let me cry (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
I can't be sad, I can't be sad
I can't let you in, no, I'm not like that
I'm fine (Ah-ah)
Won't let me cry (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
[Verse 2]
I'm driving past the street where you first kissed me
I feel sick to my stomach
And stupid for all the times that you made me believe
It was something that it wasn't
[Pre-Chorus]
Got close to a meltdown
Said, "I can't do this here" (I can't do this hеre)
Giving a pep talk to myself
In thе rearview mirror
[Chorus]
I can't be sad, I can't be sad
I can't let you think it hurts this bad
I'm fine (Ah-ah)
Won't let me cry (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
I can't be sad, I can't be sad
I can't let you in, no, I'm not like that
I'm fine (Ah-ah)
Won't let me cry (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
[Post-Chorus]
I can't be sad, I can't be sad (Hmm)
I can't let you think it hurts this bad (Hmm)
I can't be, I can't be (I can't be)
Sad
I can't be sad, I can't be sad
Can't let you in, no, I'm not like that (Hmm, ooh-ooh)
Mhm, mhm, ooh
I can't be, I can't be
[Outro]
I can't be sad, I can't be sad
I can't let you think it hurts this bad
I'm fine
Now let me cry
