You wonder why they're sad
you wonder why you cry



Haven't you listened
can't you feel it?
Don't you see it?



It speaks of such sadness
for it's a sad lonely heart
a cry from someone
needing to confide



It speaks of no name
but there is a face
belonging to those eyes
the ache ...
pain ...
in which I have idenitfy



Inside I feel a heart wrapped up in pain
and before I know it
I'm reaching for my two favourite friends ...
my paper and pen



Such an ache that is hiding within a friend 
I feel it --
I write it --
then I share it



Sometimes I feel so good inside
'cause I know they really listened



Sometimes it's so rewarding
'cause unshamefully they shed a tear
the tear of which I write



And sometimes I feel so defeated
'cause a tear was shed
a name is known



But all they can say
"They're too SAD!"
