Another Sad Story

[Verse 1] Here comes another one Draggin’ rain across the floor Same old little thundercloud Knockin’ at the same old door You can roll your eyes, darling You can name it what you please But grief keeps perfect rhythm When it drops down to its knees [Pre-Chorus] I know, I know You’ve heard this key before But the wound changed clothes And came back asking for more [Chorus] Here comes another one of your sad stories Black coffee, bad timing, secondhand glory You say, “Baby, haven’t we been here before?” Yeah, but this time the blood knows what it’s for Here comes another one, slow and holy Half dressed, sharp-tongued, acting lonely Go on, laugh while I sing it pretty I can make heartbreak taste delicious, can’t I? [Verse 2] I don’t need your pity I just like the way it rings When I hang a little sorrow From a pair of golden strings Every ache gets tailored Every bruise learns how to dance I don’t tell the same sad story I give it one more chance [Bridge] Maybe I’m dramatic Maybe pain has got good taste Maybe every little ending Hates to see itself go waste So pour another measure Let the melody behave I’ll turn the thing that nearly killed me Into something you can crave [Final Chorus] Here comes another one of your sad stories Sweet smoke, low light, counterfeit mercy You say, “Baby, haven’t we been here before?” Yeah, but I never wore it this well before Here comes another one, soft and vicious Bitters on the tongue, somehow delicious Go on, sigh while I sing it pretty Another sad story— but this one looks good on me
