I sat down to write a happier song
But I could only try for so long
Despite my intentions, it's so very clear
It's just another sad song that nobody's gonna hear

I told my hands to make 'em dance
But my stubborn heart never gave me a chance
They say the best way to kill a career
Is keep on singing sad songs that nobody's gonna hear

I wish it was easy to lie
But it ain't always rainbows and sunshine
Sometimes, what I need is a lonesome melody
'Cause I find it eases my mind

I try to remember there's people out there
Who just wanna laugh, who don't wanna care
If I close my eyes, will they all disappear
And make this another sad song that nobody's gonna hear?

I wish it was easy to lie
But it ain't always rainbows and sunshine
Sometimes, what I need is a lonesome melody
'Cause I find it eases my mind

I sat down to write a happier song
But I could only try for so long
Maybe this time, it won't fall on deaf ears
Like all those other sad songs that nobody's gonna hear
