Sad But True
Written September 1991
Appears on Only My Hairdresser Knows For Sure
Available as an mp3

Girl, I heard you were leaving
In fact, I heard you were already gone
Yeah, I heard you were leaving
So I figured I'd write you this song
I don't know how I'm gonna get it to you
Unless emotion can travel through air
Don't know how I'm gonna get it to you
To let you know I still care
'Cause I've been waiting so long
For you to come back to me
And to hear from my friends that you're leaving
Feels just like you're leaving me...

Chorus:
Sad but true... sad but true
Sad but true... sad but true

Our fairy tale didn't have no happy ending
But we always said we'd keep in touch
I don't know what I expected baby
I guess I expected too much
But I always wanted to try another chapter
Somehow turn the page
Maybe learn just one more lesson
Before all these feelings faded away
And I'm feeling lost in this world
Without any chance I can see
But to hear that you're leaving town
Feels just like you're leaving me...

Chorus:
Sad but true... sad but true
Sad but true... sad but true

Bridge:
'Cause I've been waiting here so long
For you to come back to me
Though I knew that I was wrong

And all I've got now is this song
And I may sing a little out of key
It's like you told me all along
  I was sad but true.

(Solo)

Well, since we broke up
Or should I say we broke down
Girl, all I could think of was you.

I've tried to go out with other women
But there was no space in my heart
Because none of them was you.

And all this time I spent waiting
I never once called you up
I never once took you out
My pride was just too big to give you up
That's why I'm...

Chorus:
Sad but true... sad but true
Sad but true... sad but true
