[intro] [Opening with radio static] [Verse 1] They say happiness will find you, But I think sadness will find you too, It sneaks up on you in darkness, Just when you think you’ve made it through, It opens holes in what was solid ground, The kind you never know are there, Until you go to take another step, And find you’re standing over the air, [Pre-Chorus] The world around you passes by, In blurs of colour and sound, Nothing around you making sense, As you continue your plummet down, [Chorus] Sadness is that feeling When the falling doesn’t stop And it saps your life of meaning And of the good things that you’ve got Sadness is that feeling When you cannot make it right When the dark keeps pulling under And you call for rope in the night [Verse 2] You can’t remember how it started, And you don’t know when it will end, But you know that you’d give anything, To stand up on your feet again, So when you finally hit rock bottom, And you look back up at the sky, What you once had seems so far away, The only thing left to do is cry, [Pre-Chorus] People all yell out “save yourself”, Calling things about “happiness” and “hope” But they’re too busy with their lives to realise, It’d be a lot quicker if they let down a rope, [Chorus] Sadness is that feeling When the falling doesn’t stop And it saps your life of meaning And of the good things that you’ve got Sadness is that feeling When you cannot make it right When the dark keeps pulling under And you call for rope in the night [Bridge] I don’t need a bright command I don’t need a perfect plan Just a hand in the coldest hour Just one person, just one chance If you see me where I’m sinking Don’t just tell me to be brave Throw me something I can hold on Before I fade beneath the wave [Final Chorus] Sadness is that feeling When the falling doesn’t stop And it saps your life of meaning And of the good things that you’ve got Sadness is that feeling When you cannot make it right When the dark keeps pulling under Let down a rope tonight [Outro] Let down a rope Let down a rope Let down a rope tonight
