Savannah Keyes - "Sad Girl"

Sad Girl

They call me the life of the party
Never met a stranger in this town
You need a laugh or a friend, you can call me
I'll pick you up when you're fadin' out

I got a million shades of happy, plenty to go around
But every now and then, I just need a good breakdown

Sometimes, I wanna be the sad girl
The cryin' in my beer at a bar girl
Not sayin' I'm fine when my heart is breakin'
I'm sick of fakin' that smile
Sometimes, I wanna let it all go
Pickin' up the phone just to call home
To hear it's alright
When love goes bad and life gets mad
And you just can't hold back, hold back the sad, girl

It's еasy to smile in a picture
Harder to say it out loud
Easy to throw on a Band-Aid
'Causе my pride is way too proud

Got a million shades of happy, but that's all you'll ever see
But every now and then, I just gotta set her free

Sometimes, I wanna be the sad girl
The cryin' in my beer at a bar girl
Not sayin' I'm fine when my heart is breakin'
I'm sick of fakin' that smile
Sometimes, I wanna let it all go
Pickin' up the phone just to call home
To hear it's alright
When love goes bad and life gets mad
And you just can't hold back, hold back the sad, girl

Sometimes, I wanna cry
Tell myself that it's alright to cry
Sometimes, all you need is just to cry

And be the sad girl
The cryin' in my beer at a bar girl
When my heart is breakin', I'm sick of fakin' that smile
Sometimes, I wanna let it all go
Pickin' up the phone just to call home
To hear it's alright
When love goes bad and life gets mad
And you just can't hold back, hold back the sad, girl
And you just can't hold back, hold back the sad, girl
