[Verse 1]
And the light you gave
You took when you were gone
It's a war that can't be won
With fists or talk or money
And there's no escape
But there's nothin' I want more

[Refrain]
But I'd better stop complaining now
I guess because

[Chorus]
Too many sad words make for sad, sad songs
Too many sad words make for sad, sad songs

[Verse 2]
And the night you came
You won me, all and all
And the better part of everything
Is born to run
And the price of fame
Is that they love you when you're gone

[Refrain]
But I better stop complaining now
It's useless because
[Chorus]
Too many sad words make for sad, sad songs
Too many sad words make for sad, sad songs

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Too many sad words make a sad, sad song
Too many sad words make a sad, sad song
