Lyrics

Sadness Don't Own Me

Oh, my god It's been so long I'm a passenger, satellite Still hanging on Man am I terrified? 'Least I can say that I tried Man am I burning alive? What have I become? Sadness don't own me for long All that time, over too soon And there's panic rising up, spilling out Eclipsing the moon Deep, deep, down Getting back up Check your jacket pocket Check your jeans But it's not enough Man am I terrified? (Take it all away) 'Least I can say that I tried (When I'm still the same) Man am I burning alive? What have I become? Oh sadness don't own me for long Own me for long What have I become Oh sadness don't own me for long Own me for long
