[Verse 1]
Sweet melancholy, such a hungry beast
Sleeps in total darkness and purrs like a machine
Tell me that I’m pretty, tell me you’ll never leave
Nobody likes the lonely or perhaps they don’t like me

[Chorus]
Sweet melancholy, take me back into your loving arms
Sweet melancholy, take me back into your loving arms

[Verse 2]
It’s sweet irony that we are such good friends
I thought that I’d escaped you but all good things can end
I think you look a bit like Jesus, God bless the low and blue
Nobody likes the lonely but I am tied to you

[Chorus]
Sweet mеlancholy, take me back into your loving arms
Sweet melancholy, takе me back into your loving arms

[Bridge]
God bless, the optimist
Pink velvet, the madness
The hopeful and the ugly
Alone, again
[Chorus]
Sweet melancholy, take me back into your loving arms
Sweet melancholy, take me back into your loving arms
