Lyrics
When I Get Sad
When the singer experiences sadness.
I think about you
Reflecting on thoughts about someone significant.
Now that you're gone
Expressing the absence of the person from the singer's life.
I can't live without you
Feeling unable to cope with life without that person.
When I'm alone
During moments of solitude, thoughts revolve around the absent person.
I dream about you
Having dreams or fantasies related to the absent person.
When I get sad
Reiterating the theme of feeling sad.
When
Emphasizing the recurring theme of experiencing sadness.
I
-Get Sad
-When I get sad, I think that we had
Recalling both positive and negative experiences in the past relationship.
The best and the worst of times spent together
-We could do anything, we could do everything
-As when we moved and changed with the weather
-It wasn't forever or heavenly sent
-The devil got to us, it's perfectly bent
-Broken with promises and time never spent
Acknowledging broken promises and time not invested in the relationship.
We were inseparable, such an event
Highlighting the significant nature of the relationship.
No one to blame but the flame went out
Reflecting on the challenges faced in the relationship and a failed attempt to save it.
Never the same when the game went south
-She'll always be my favorite now
-And we did all we could to save it, wow
-But we still failed when we gave it all
Expressing the continued fame of the singer, possibly contrasting with the past relationship.
Does she know I'm famous now
Expressing curiosity about the ex-partner's awareness of the singer's current fame and whereabouts.
I wonder where she is right now
-Wonder where she is right now
-When I Get Sad
Repeating the theme of sadness and its association with thoughts of the absent person.
I think about you
-Now that you're gone
-I can't live without you
-When I'm alone
-I dream about you
-When I get sad
-When
-I
-Get Sad
-We were together it prolonged
Describing the longevity and strength of the past bond, juxtaposed with its end.
And the bond that we shared was so strong
-But it's gone because we said so long
-When we vowed that we would go long
-And now it feels real, so wrong
-When the radio plays our slow song
-So cry me a river to float on
Using metaphors like "cry me a river" to convey emotional pain and the need to move on.
And go on and so on
-People say that I should let it go
Addressing advice from others to let go, the difficulty of forgetting, and the search for something genuine.
But I can never forget it though
-I'm looking for something real better though
-A treasure, so that I can let her know
-But maybe that's not the path to take
-I really do need a faster break
-Tough choices that I have to make
-I guess for now, I'll just have to ache
-When I Get Sad
Reiteration of the emotional impact of sadness and longing for the absent person.
I think about you
-Now that you're gone
-I can't live without you
-When I'm alone
-I dream about you
-When I get sad
-When
-I
-Get Sad
-When I Get Sad
Final repetition of the central theme of experiencing sadness and missing the departed person.
I think about you
-Now that you're gone
-I can't live without you
-When I'm alone
-I dream about you
-When I get sad
-When
-I
-Get Sad
