Sadness is a Shade of Blue Lyrics by Låpsley

Through Water

2020

[Intro]
Ooh
[Verse 1]
Happiness is like the shade
In the desert
Sadness is a shade of blue
Ooh
And the future is a street lamp in a town not built yet
And the past is you
[Chorus]
I know you understand the darkness like me
And it's a heavy weight for only two feet
But you don't help yourself get better
And I can't change this ever-changing weather
[Verse 2]
Happiness is like the branch
Of an olive tree
Sadness is an avalanche
Ooh
You know that winter never seemed to end
(You know that winter never seemed to end)
Tell me why nothing I did was good enough
Baby, why you living like this?
So sad, so sad
[Chorus]
I know you understand the darkness like me
And it's a heavy weight for only two feet
But you don't help yourself get better
And I can't change this ever-changing weather
I know you understand the darkness like me
And it's a heavy weight for only two feet
But you don't help yourself get better
And I can't change this ever-changing weather
I know you understand the darkness like me (Tell me why nothing I did was good enough)
And it's a heavy weight for only two feet (Baby, why you living like this?)
But you don't help yourself get better (So sad)
And I can't change this ever-changing weather (So sad)
I know you understand the darkness like me (Tell me why nothing I did was good enough)
And it's a heavy weight for only two feet (Baby, why you living like this?)
But you don't help yourself get better (So sad)
And I can't change this ever-changing weather (So sad)
[Outro]
(Tell me why nothing I did was good enough)
Tell me why nothing I did was good enough
Baby, why you living like this?
So sad
(Tell me why nothing I did was good enough)
