Mr. Sad Eyes Lyrics

Tell myself it'll be better tomorrow

Wake up to a bowl of sorrow

Man on the news says he's talking to me

He says, wake up, the world is burning

Drown it out, avoid the learning

About everything that was and is going to be

My heart starts a thumping

Don't know what but it's always something

Back again from long ago to torture me

So I try my best to stay busy but

What I love does not love me

Wish I could go back to when I was just a kid

Back when they did love me

Hey, Mr. Sad Eyes

So nice to see you again

Oh, oh, oh

Wish you were under much better circumstances

But they don't often come about

So do your best to just stay strong

Before you find yourself

Out of chances

Tell myself it'll be better tomorrow

Wish I had some time tomorrow

How can the clock ever seem to go slow

As we count down, waiting for nothing

Hoping life gives us something

That let's me say I'm so much better than you

And I find it all so depressing

And I find it all so unrelenting

Who made being alive so damn hard

And I pray my soul would keep

Every night when I go to sleep

But thoughtless thoughts they creep

into my mind

Taint moments of time from my life

Hey, Mr. Sad Eyes

So nice to see you again

Oh, oh, oh

We have to stop running into each other like this

I know this world is so hard to weather

But you have to believe things will get better

So we can forget the taste of every broken promise

Hey, Mr. Sad Eyes

So nice to see you again

Oh, oh, oh

I'm so happy I can call you my friend

I know the truth's a hard pill to swallow

But it's better than sitting in a life of wallow

Wondering about it all until it ends
