Sad Song feat. Elena Coats
We the Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With you, I'm alive
Like all the missing pieces of my heart, they finally collide
So stop time right here in the moonlight
'Cause I don't ever wanna close my eyes
Without you, I feel broke
Without you, I've got no hand to hold
Without you, I feel torn
Like a sail in a storm
Without you, I'm just a sad song
I'm just a sad song
With you, I fall
It's like I'm leaving all my past and silhouettes up on the wall
With you, I'm a beautiful mess
It's like we're standing hand and hand with all our fears up on the edge
So stop time right here in the moonlight
'Cause I don't ever wanna close my eyes
Without you, I feel broke
Like I'm half of a whole
Without you, I've got no hand to hold
Without you, I feel torn
Like a sail in a storm
Without you, I'm just a sad song
You're the perfect melody
The only harmony I wanna hear
You're my favourite part of me
With you standing next to me
I've got nothing to fear
Without you, I feel broke
Like I'm half of a whole
Without you, I've got no hand to hold
Without you, I feel torn
Like a sail in a storm
Without you, I'm just a sad song
Without you, I feel broke
Like I'm half of a whole
Without you, I've got no hand to hold
Without you, I feel torn
Like a sail in a storm
Without you, I'm just a sad song, I'm just a sad song

2 years ago my brother died of heart cancer. This was his favorite song. This is how I remember him. To this day I’m still sad and cry at night. Hope George is happy in heaven.
Edit: thank you for all your support
@user-lq4pc1ex6o
They didn't notice you were crying
They didn't notice you were sad
They didn’t notice you were tired
They didn’t notice you were alone
They didn’t notice how attentive you were
They didn’t notice how sweet you actually are...
They didn’t notice how you actually try to make others smile
They did notice you failing grades
They did notice your unattractive
They did notice the mean side of you
They did notice all your mistakes
They did notice all you flaws
They did notice that you weren’t good enough for them.
But you stayed strong
You kept going on
You never gave up on hope
You never let them take you down
And you know they wasn’t good enough for you
And that’s what make you stronger
You aren’t ugly
You aren’t mean
You aren’t lazy
You aren’t a failure
You aren’t a mistake
You are beautiful
You are worth it
You do deserve everything
You are trying
You are smart
You do deserve to live

This song just makes me sad. Ever since my Grandpa passed.
I wasn't Happy. We were like peanut butter and Jelly. Until one Halloween morning..
We got a call around 7AM saying my grandpa fell. When my brother was being dropped off for school.
Around 10:50ish is when I left 2nd period for early dismisal bc he was getting brain Surgery
He never did wake up. Open his eyes. He was in a coma a strait month. Until.. Dec
2
My mom got a call from my grandma saying my grandad has been in CPR for over 25min.
When we got there my mom and dad found out he has passed. When my dad came to tell me and my bro,I burst in tears.
We had done EVERYTHING together! We went to McDonald's for breakfast. When we got home, I just couldn't eat. But I did
After that I went to the room and balled my eyes out. I felt like i made a river in there!
With him I was always happy. Cheerful. Girly. Now. Look at me
Sure may be I am still those things. But am I doing it truthfully? OF COURSE NOT
I just never thought this day would actually come. It feels unreal.
Imma stop wasting your time. You prob don't care anyways knowinh I have wasted 5 minutes of your life. 5 minutes ago you were younger;) lol anyways. Sorry for wasting your time sincerely,Avocado

"The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they do not wish to see anyone else suffer the way they do."
