Queen of sad songs

[Intro] Ah, my sweet...

[Verse 1] Where’s it coming from, this drive,

how I’m up at half past five,

wash the dishes, catch the train,

work my hands through nervous pain?

No one ever asked me to,

and I know it’s all for you.

[Pre-Chorus] Ah, my sweet...

[Chorus] Queen of sad songs,

all of them are you,

queen of sad songs,

and you never knew.

[Post-Chorus] Queen, queen, queen,

queen of sad songs.

[Verse 2] I just picked you out, I guess,

made you mean my every yes,

read the books, I know the name:

it’s projection all the same.

Doesn’t change a single thing

still I get up, still I sing.

[Pre-Chorus] Ah, my sweet...

[Chorus] Queen of sad songs,

all of them are you,

queen of sad songs,

and you never knew.

[Post-Chorus] Queen, queen, queen,

queen of sad songs.

[Bridge] Nothing in the head’s by chance,

I’m the one who chose this dance,

you don’t have to wear the crown,

it’s just mine to carry round.

[Pre-Chorus] Ah, my sweet...

[Chorus] Queen of sad songs,

all of them are you,

queen of sad songs,

and you never knew.

[Post-Chorus] Queen, queen, queen,

queen of sad songs.

[Outro] Queen of sad songs,

queen of sad songs,

this one’s for you, too.
