Lyrics: Teisha Matthews/Dan Whitlam
Music: Teisha Matthews
Well, she'd hide inside her room next to the records that she collects
Looking for better ways to spend the hours on the days that don't connect
She was down on herself
And just wishing that she had someone to say
"Sometimes the sad feels better than good, and that's okay"
Sometimes we do want blue skies to fade away into clouds of perfect grey
She thought a life of just happiness sounds pretty sad anyway
She was a sad girl, lonely girl
And sometimes, late at night, felt like the only one in the world
The only one who would stay inside and stare, lost at the ceiling
Just trying to find someone or something to believe in
That slight feeling that would keep her still
On the days that ran on too long
So she'd surround herself with noise to stop the silence from switching on
Yeah, she'd scream it out while sitting on dying stars she's wished upon
Just wishing she was normal
Her friends all said the same
That she wasn't really there, off lost in thought or giving sadness her own name
'Cause she was a sad girl, a lonely girl
And sometimes, late at night, felt like the only one in the world
The only one who would wish the ground would open and swallow her up
As her mum would softly ask
"How do you hold someone when they refuse to be loved?"
And maybe you've seen her too?
Head down in the blues, this sad girl who stayed alone
'Cause it was all that she ever knew
