Sadness Is a Phase

[Verse 1]
Sadness is a phase
And I’m the planet’s oldest teenager
Growing young

Where’s the good old days
When I would cut myself and blame it on
Being dumb?

[Chorus]
I’ve never treated anyone as kind as I should
I’ve never been mistaken for someone with a use
I’ve never pleaded to the gods since I learned the truth
I’ve never seen these kinds of odds

[Verse 2]
I wasn’t built to last
My best-buy date was so long ago
No need to read
I’m the broken glass
That you’re asked to keep your distance from
Mind me, please

[Bridge]
So I’ve paid the mortgage
On my own sadness
It’s high time I owned it

[Chorus]
I’ve never treated anyone as kind as I should
I’ve never been mistaken for someone with a use
I’ve never pleaded to the gods since I learned the truth
I’ve never seen these kinds of odds

[Outro]
I’ve never treated anyone as kind as I should
I’ve never treated anyone as kind as I should
I’ve never treated anyone as kind as I should
