Lyrics

Why Am I So Sad

(So sad)

Why am I so sad?

Why am I so sad?

Why am I so sad?

I'm not that bad

If I'm really sad

What have I had?

Is it all the drugs?

Is it all the pain?

I'm a little morose

But I'm not insane

What's wrong with this ghost?

Why do I have nothing else?

I don't know how I got this way

Why am I so sad?

Why am I so sad?

Why am I so sad?

Why am I so sad?

Why am I so sad?

Why am I so sad?!

Why am I so sad?!

Why am I so sad?!

Why am I so sad?!

Why am I so sad?!

So sad!

Why am I so sad

Why am I so sad

Why am I so sad

Why am I so sad

Why am I so sad

Why am I so sad

Why—

[?]

So sad

Why am I so sad

Why

Why am I so sad

Why

Why am I so sad

Why

Why am I so sad
