[Verse 1]
The concrete broke your fall
To hear you speak of it
I'd have done anything
I would do anything
I feel like a cartoon brick wall
To hear you speak of it
[Chorus]
You've been so sad
It makes me worry
Why not smile?
You've been sad for a while
Why not smile?
[Verse 2]
I would do anything
To hear you speak of it
Why not smile?
[Outro]
You've been sad for a while
You've been sad for a while
