The Saddest Song I Ever Heard Lyrics by For Real

Free

1997

[Verse 1]
Remember that song
It was your song
It was my song
It used to be our song
It used to make me smile
I memorized every line
Ooh, in happier times
[Pre-Chorus]
Now when the radio plays
I just wanna run away
'Cause it hurts so much inside
Oh, that song just makes me cry
[Chorus]
Now it's the saddest song I ever heard
My heart is breaking, baby, now with every word
Used to be the sweetest song, but now you're gone
And I can't, no, I can't understand
Oh why, tell me why, tell me why
Why did our song turn so sad?
Baby, baby, baby
[Verse 2]
Remember those words
Remember those lines
We had a song so sweet
We had a love so right
But like a song must end
Then love just faded to soon (Too soon)
Left me still loving you
[Pre-Chorus]
Now when the music goes on
I pray they never play that song
It's just too much to take (Just too make to take)
It just makes my heart break, oh, oh, oh yeah
[Chorus]
Now it's the saddest song I ever heard
My heart is breaking, baby, now with every word
Used to be the sweetest song (Sweetest song), but now you're gone
(Now you're gone, baby)
And I can't, no, I can't understand
(No, no, no, no, I can't understand)
Oh, why, tell me why, tell me why
Why did our song turn so sad?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh baby, baby, baby
[Bridge]
Every time I hear the melody
Memories come down on me, yeah
And every beat makes me think of you
(Makes me think of you) Yeah, yeah, yeah
How can I get you off my mind
When you're wrapped up in every rhyme?
Don't wanna hear that sound if you're not around
[Chorus]
Now it's the saddest song I ever heard (I ever heard, baby)
My heart is breaking, baby, now with every word (Ooh)
Used to be the sweetest song, but now you're gone
(Now you're gone, baby)
And I can't, no, I can't
(No, no no no, no, no no no)
Now it's the saddest song I ever heard
My heart is breaking, baby, now with every word
Used to be the sweetest song, but now you're gone
And I can't, no, I can't understand
Oh, why, tell me why, tell me why
Why did our song turn so sad?
Now it's the saddest song I ever heard
My heart is breaking, baby, now with every word
Used to be the sweetest song, but now you're gone
And I can't, no, I can't understand
Oh, why, tell me why, tell me why
Why did our song turn so sad?
