Sad in Happy Places Lyrics by Van Buren

The Long Way Home

2022

[Verse 1]
Watching the leaves fall
From my favorite city bench
Cause I've had one of those days where
I've been stuck inside my head
All my friend's celebrations
Are making me anxious
I should be smiling instead
[Pre-Chorus]
But I've made a habit of sitting in sadness
It's getting harder to pretend
As a thousand different faces pass me by
I hope I'm not the only one who's tired
[Chorus]
Of being sad in happy places
Distract myself with strangers
Having pointless conversations
Givе advice but never takе it
It's kind of ironic if I'm being honest
We all go through our phases
Being sad in happy places
Sad in happy places
[Verse 2]
Like getting too drunk at a party with my friends
Taking shots at a bar with a person you just met
At special occasions
Getting frustrated
It's hard to comprehend
[Pre-Chorus]
That I've made a habit of sitting in sadness
At every big event
As a thousand different faces pass me by
I hope I'm not the only one who's tired
[Chorus]
Of being sad in happy places
Distract myself with strangers
Having pointless conversations
Give advice but never take it
It's kind of ironic if i'm being honest
We all go through our phases
Being sad in happy places
Sad in happy places
[Outro]
It's kind of ironic if I'm being honest
We all go through our phases
Being sad in happy places
