My wounded rhymes make silent cries tonight

My wounded rhymes make silent cries tonight

And I keep it like a burning(?)

I'm longing from a distance

Bridge

I ranted, I pleaded, I beg him not to go

 For sorrow, the only lover I've ever known

Chorus

Sadness is a blessing

Sadness is a pearl

Sadness is my boyfriend

Oh, sadness I'm your girl

These scars of mine make wounded rhymes tonight

I dream of times when you were mine so I

Can keep it like a haunting

Heart beating close to mine

Sadness is a blessing

Sadness is a pearl

Sadness is my boyfriend

Oh, sadness I'm your girl

[Chords from chorus again]

I ranted, I pleaded, I beg him not to go

For sorrow, the only lover I've ever known

Every night I rant, I plead, I beg him not to go

Will sorrow be the only lover I can call my own?

Sadness is a blessing

Sadness is a pearl

Sadness is my boyfriend

Oh, sadness I'm your girl

Sadness is my boyfriend

Oh, sadness I'm your girl

Oh, sadness I'm your girl
