The Saddest Thing Lyrics by Nathan King (NZL)

The Crowd

2008

[Verse 1]
Wasting your time
Wasting your energy
You forgot how to shine
Not everyone is your enemy
All the chances that you took
Had come back to bite you
Shutting up that book
That's missing a page or two
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you say you don't need me?
You never had a chance to fly
[Chorus]
'Cause you been dancing on your own
Trying to get away
As if nothing's set in stone
And the promise that you made
Is lying broken on the floor
That's the saddest thing
The saddest thing I've seen in years
[Verse 2]
You're losing your cool
You're losing what makes you
You let your demons rule
You can guess who the last laugh goes to
All the times you used to sing
Nothing would break you
Why'd you look the other way?
Whose arms did you run into?
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you say you don't need me?
You never had a chance to fly
[Chorus]
'Cause you been dancing on your own
Trying to get away
As if nothing's set in stone
And the promise that you made
Is lying broken on the floor
That's the saddest thing
The saddest thing I've seen in years
The saddest thing I've seen in years
[Instrumental Break]
[Interlude]
'Cause you, you been dancing on your own
Trying to get away
As if nothing's set in stone
And the promise that you made
Is lying broken on the floor
And that's the saddest thing
The saddest thing I've seen in years
[Chorus]
You, you been dancing on your own
Trying to get away
As if nothing's set in stone
And the promise that you made
Is lying broken on the floor
That's the saddest thing
The saddest thing I've seen in years
The saddest thing I've seen in years
[Outro]
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
