Sad Sad Story
Unspoken Longings: A Melody of Hidden Desires
Lyrics
Look at the lady she's the one with the broken heart
Expressing empathy for a lady with a broken heart.
Even so she musn't know that I've loved her from the start
Keeping his love for her a secret, not wanting her to know.
She needs a friend now more than a new romance
Suggesting she needs a friend more than a new romantic relationship.
I'd love to take her in my arms but I can't take the chance
Expressing a desire to comfort her but afraid to take the risk.
Chorus
Chorus introduction.
Ooh it's such a sad sad story but there'll be a happy ending
Despite the sadness, anticipates a happy ending.
Just you wait and see what I can do, ooooh
Confident about positive outcomes and actions.
When you see a lady cryin' can you blame a guy for tryin'
Rationalizing attempts to make his dreams come true.
To move on in and make his dreams come true
Believing in the possibility of a successful relationship.
I gotta secret but I'm keeping it to myself
Keeping a secret to himself, hinting at unspoken feelings.
I'm bored to tears when my heart hears that she loves someone else
Expressing boredom and pain when she loves someone else.
I tell her I'm sorry but it's really just a lie
Admitting to insincere apologies when her partner hurts her.
Cos every time he hurts her I'm so happy I could die
Paradoxically happy when her current relationship faces issues.
Ooh it's such a sad sad story but there'll be a happy ending
Reiteration of anticipating a happy ending despite sadness.
Just you wait and see what I can do, ooooh
Emphasizing confidence in his ability to bring about a positive change.
When you see a lady cryin' can you blame a guy for tryin'
Questioning the blame on a guy for trying to pursue happiness.
To move on in and make his dreams come true
Continuing to express the pursuit of making dreams a reality.
I love the lady and I want to make her smile
Affirming love for the lady and the desire to bring joy to her.
I know she's lonely but it only hurts for a little while
Acknowledging her loneliness but suggesting it's temporary.
Soon as it's over you know the sun is gonna shine
Assuring that after the pain, happiness will follow.
And when she's ready for someone new, guess who's first in line
Positioning himself as the first choice when she's ready for someone new.
Ooh it's such a sad sad story but there'll be a happy ending
Repeating the anticipation of a happy ending.
Just you wait and see what I can do, ooooh
Restating confidence in his ability to bring about positive change.
When you see a lady cryin' can you blame a guy for tryin'
Questioning blame for attempting to make dreams come true.
To move on in and make his dreams come true
Continuing to express the pursuit of making dreams a reality.
Ooh it's such a sad sad story but there'll be a happy ending
Reiteration of anticipating a happy ending despite sadness.
Just you wait and see what I can do, ooooh
Emphasizing confidence in his ability to bring about a positive change.
When you see a lady cryin' can you blame a guy for tryin'
Questioning the blame on a guy for trying to pursue happiness.
To move on in and make his dreams come true
Continuing to express the pursuit of making dreams a reality.
