So Many Sad Songs Lyrics

She asked me, why do I play so many sad songs?

I told her because all of them are true

She asked me, yeah, how about them other ones?

I said I wrote those other ones for you

She asked me why my songs say we are dying?

It's old news. Everyone knows it's true

And though I hated to contradict her

I replied, I don't think they do

She asked me do I play my songs for pleasure

or if I find I'm exorcising pain?

Inside I knew the truth would be too difficult to hear

So I just told her I'm in it to complain

The last question from her notebook was a standard

Something about the setting of my next show

I told her it'd be soon and it'd be often

I'm afraid that it's all I really know

I said I'm afraid that it's all I really know
