They say you used to play
Oh so sweetly and oh so softly
Back in the day
Your words came easy
You sang of sorrow in such a haunting melody
I play better when I'm sad
I play better when you leave me
Left alone in the dark
I'll turn the pain to poetry
I sleep better when you're gone
When my lonely lies next to me
I might be in pain again but at least I play free
And when all my demons fled
I lost all of my best writers
I don't want you to hurt me again
But I know that you will
Heartbreak is the best
Get this shit of my chest
Before I lie still
I play better when I'm sad
I play better when you leave me
Left alone in the dark
I'll turn the pain to poetry
I sleep better when you're gone
When my lonely lies next to me
I might be in pain again but at least I play free
I don't want you to hurt me again
But I know that you will
I'll turn to the pen and not to the pills
Drained my whole bank account all on cheap thrills
I play better when I'm sad
