[Verse 1] I woke up wrong again No reason, just the weight A hand around my throat Before the day could start My chest a boarded room My tears don’t ask to stay They spill across the floor And never find a shape [Pre-Chorus] I look at every face And find the same old dark A shadow in the laugh A bruise behind the art And every song I hear Turns into broken glass Like something in me knows The hurt before it lasts [Chorus] Why is it always sad? Why is it always sad? Even in the gold It turns to gray Why is it always sad? Why is it always sad? A rainbow with no color Just the rain [Verse 2] I see a stranger’s eyes And there it is again The silhouette of pain Sitting in their skin Like I can name the ache Before they ever speak Like sorrow leaves a print On everyone I meet [Pre-Chorus] I try to hold the bright But it slips through my hands The laugh becomes a lock The smile becomes a band And every hopeful line Falls heavy in my mouth Like I was born to read The ending in the sound [Chorus] Why is it always sad? Why is it always sad? Even in the gold It turns to gray Why is it always sad? Why is it always sad? A rainbow with no color Just the rain [Bridge] If there’s a name for this I’ve carried it too long A person bound in chains Living in my song So if you hear me shake Don’t call it all pretend I’m asking for the light To start at me again [Final Chorus] Why is it always sad? Why is it always sad? Even in the gold It turns to gray Why is it always sad? Why is it always sad? A rainbow with no color Just the rain Why is it always sad? Why is it always sad? Let the dark step back Let me see Why is it always sad? Why is it always sad? Maybe I can find What color means to me
