Sadness
Stash Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You said times with me were lots of fun
But now funny just ain't what you want
Yeah my girl, ain't that just a little strange
There were times you'd rather die than leave
Now you say: hold on a second here
Yeah my love, ain't it all just a little strange
When you say: just hold on a second here

Better times are moving up ahead
And all sorrow is gone for good
Hey my girl, why don't you just let it flow
All this time I tried to figure out
Just what it takes to live on your cloud
Yeah my love, I guess I misunderstood
When you said: just hold on a second here

If sadness is a color
Then it's blue just like your eyes
And sorrow can be all over you
But it will never tear me down

Better times are moving up ahead
And all sorrow is gone for good
But hey my love, I guess I misunderstood

If sadness is a color
Then it's blue just like your eyes
And sorrow can be all over you
But it will never tear me down

If sadness is a color
Then it's blue just like your eyes

And sorrow can be all over you
But it will never tear me down
