Verse 1

It ain’t like your mama told ya,
I was never the cheatin kind.
She was only happy when I was miserable,
And she was happy all the time.

⸻

Chorus

She was happy when I lost my way.
Happy when my heart would break,
Happy that my life was a sad, sad song,
Happy when all hope was gone.

⸻

Verse 2

I gave her the best that I had,
But she pushed it all away.
I think she just wanted the measure of
How much I could take.

⸻

Chorus

She was happy when I lost my way.
Happy when my heart would break,
Happy that my life was a sad, sad song,
Happy when all hope was gone.

⸻

Bridge

I don’t regret the love I gave,
What don’t kill you doesn’t always make you strong.
But she took joy in my wasting away,
And I was trapped in a sad, sad song.

⸻


Final Chorus (twist)
She was happy when I lost my way.
Happy when my heart would break,
Happy that my life was a sad, sad song,
So I had to walk away.
