Verse:
No more Mister Nice Guy
I love the dead
I've been thinking about it
Now I understand what he said
Pre Chorus:
Ask me now I
understand the words that Alice said
I kick the rocks beneath me
I squint at the sun
Chorus:
Sad, sad, sad, sad
Why must I be sad?
The rows of dandelions growing all around me
Why must I be sad?
Verse 2:
No one knows these things but me and him
so I'm writing everything down in a spiral notebook
in the hopes that one day other people
will feel as low as this
Pre Chorus:
Ask me now I
understand the words that Alice said
I kick the rocks beneath me
I squint at the sun
Chorus:
Sad, sad, sad, sad
Why must I be sad?
The rows of dandelions growing all around me
Why must I be sad?
