Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i'll let you in on how i'm feeling
you've got a lot of nerve
you'll get what you deserve
granted this feelings unappealing
i'm bitter, i'll admit
now i've gotta deal with it
just one more thing okay
it so s-sad to say, it's,

so sad to say
what we had has gone away
ya could say its sad
think of what we could have had

i'll let you out without resistance
parting this way is not,
the way we ever thought, in fact
i always thought we'd go the distance
but we went nowhere quick
so sad it makes me sick
just one more thing okay
its so s-sad to say, it's,

so sad to say
what we had has gone away
ya could say it's sad
think of what we could have had

my animosity has, got the best of me
its been feeding off of sadness deep inside me that'll fade i pray
and in time it will i know
so far its fading slow
just one more thing okay
it's so s-sad to say, it's,

so sad to say
what we had has gone away
ya could say it's sad
think of what we could have had




so sad to say

Overall Meaning

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones' song "So Sad To Say" is a heartfelt portrayal of the feelings associated with the end of a relationship. The singer is bitter about the end of the relationship and feels that the other person will get what they deserve. However, he also acknowledges that these emotions are unappealing. He is saddened by the fact that the relationship had to end and that they cannot have what they could have had. The lyrics "what we had has gone away" and "think of what we could have had" show how the singer is struggling with the loss of the relationship.


The second verse continues with the theme of acceptance, but the singer is still struggling with the sudden end of the relationship. He is willing to let the other person go without resistance, but he never thought that they would part in this way. He had always thought that their relationship would go the distance, but it went nowhere fast. The lyrics "so sad it makes me sick" show how the singer is struggling with the loss of the relationship.


The bridge of the song shows the singer's introspection and his struggle to let go of the animosity he feels towards his former partner. He hopes that over time, his feelings of sadness and bitterness will fade away. However, the chorus repeats the sadness felt at losing what could have been.

Are they still performing? They haven't released an album since 2011, so I thought they were done.
