How am I supposed to let the sadness go When it's all that I have It's all I've ever known Oh, it's the loyal friend Who will be with me till the end It's more than I can say of you Or anybody else Did you really think That I expected less from you You were supposed to be my friend So quite the opposite was true But, I know, whatever I did say or that I'll do It never did and never will make a damn difference to you Your absence made my heart grow cold (er) Yet it would always re-ignite The moment, when I saw your face Each time I heard your voice Love, fuck, what can I say That hasn't all been said before? It's the oldest story in the book And that book is such A gawddamn bore I fell into the strangest mood Every time I left Oh, so many thoughts And all of them were sad I am fine now, though Oh, isn't it fine I'm getting better and getting worse At the same bloody time How can I let the darkness go It is what I am It's all I've ever known It is what I am Oh, it's the loyal friend Who will be with me till the end That's more than I can say of you Or anybody else
