Sad Boy

He hides behind his cigarettes
Lets the smoke linger by his lips
Exhales his sorrows, watches them float to the heavens
As the clouds taste his kiss

I can't help but take a picture
To the catch the sadness in his grin
Oh sad boy, sad boy, who hurt you so bad?
So bad like this
Oh, 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 your friends enough to stay the night?
You said, "If I don't leave, 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 would hurt
Oh sad boy, sad boy, how much that'll hurt

I'll write songs about you
All about your heart and now 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
