Sadness brings us together and lies keep us apart
Why is it wrong, that you just stole my heart
Sadness brings us together and lies keep us apart
Why is it wrong, that you just stole my heart
Trust can’t buy freedom, it only brought me here
Thrust into another life, to ease a lonely fear
Burden on my shoulders of a frail and fragile ride
Leaving this world, would make the animals run wild
The young have grown up now, quicker than I hoped
I’m still a young man, but I feel I’ve missed the boat
Others made a lucky escape and I’m still in decline
All that seems to change is the ever passing time
Sadness brings us together and lies keep us apart
Why is it wrong, that you just stole my heart
Sadness brings us together and lies keep us apart
Why is it wrong, that you just stole my heart
Two seconds of joy in my days of pain
Working all day and nights are just the same
Gamble of love has taken me here
This soap opera life has cost me dear
My fear
My fear
From my dear
From my dear
Right here
Right here
My fear
From my dear
Sadness brings us together and lies keep us apart
Why is it wrong, that you just stole my heart
Sadness brings us together and lies keep us apart
Why is it wrong, that you just stole my heart
You just stole my heart
You just stole my heart
You just stole my heart
You just stole my heart
