Christina Perri - Sad Song Lyrics






Today I'm Gonna write a sad song,
I'm gonna make it really long
So that everyone can see,
That I'm very unhappy.

I wish I wasn't always wrong
I wish it wasn't always my fault
But the finger that you're pointing
Has knocked me on my knees
And all you need to know is

I'm so sorry it's not like me,
It's maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know that growing up goes slow

I wonder what my mom and dad would say,
If I told them that I cry each day.
But it's hard enough to live so far away.

I wish I wasn't always cold
I wish I wasn't always alone
When the party is over,
How will I get home?
And all you need to know is

I'm so sorry it's not like me,
It's maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know that growing up goes slow

If all the rules were made to bend
And you swore you were my friend
Now I have to start all over again

Cause no one's going to take your place
And I'm scared I'll never save
All the pieces of a love we made

And I'm so sorry, it's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know that I can slip and fall
And you won't let me go
Just let me know that growing up goes slow

And I'm so sorry
It's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know that growing up goes slow.

Christina Perri Sad Song Comments
  1. n.... m....

    I just want you to know that everything will be ok and you will get through this. I’m sure you aren’t listening to sad song because you want to read some positive comments but I want you to know that there is somebody out there in this crazy universe who wants you to be happy and wants you to feel loved and supported.

  2. R.... K....

    2019 :')

  3. N.... K....

    "💔💔💔💔I wonder what my mom and dad would say if I told them I cry each day💔💔💔💔 "

  4. S.... b....

    "I wonder what my mom and dad would say if I told them that I cry each day. It's hard enough to live so far away"

    I'm starting my freshman year of college. While I relate to everything in this song, this part hits me because, like most college kids, I'm living away from my parents and it's hard to adjust to. I feel really alone and isolated while transitioning and having to deal with social anxiety and depression that I'm still trying to manage. It's hard, but if I can do it, then you can too. So, to whoever reads this, I appreciate your strength to get through life's struggles, keep pushing.

  5. M.... C....

    This song makes me cry!😭

  6. W.... W....

    I listened to this song when in fourth grade I was bullied by everyone.

  7. E.... L....

    Forever one of my favorites. Hits you right in the feels.

  8. U.... S....

    Am I the only one who thinks this is more like a happy song when the drums starts to beat. This songs make me happy even though it's a sad song.

  9. A.... B....

    Forgot and move on easy then said 😥

  10. c.... o....

    I'm always cold and sad too.

  11. i.... m....

    . My mum had me when she was 16. So I went to live with my 'nan'. My parents split up and now I live about 3 hours away from each so don't see them very often. But I have managed to cope by telling my self that if they wanted to talk to me they would text me but they rarely do, so I've given up on them now. It still upsets me tho

  12. G.... L....

    Damn time to eat macaroni and pretend I'm funny~!

  13. A.... W....

    I feel sooo old

  14. A.... G....

    *I could relate to this song when I was 12 yrs old and now that I'm hearing it back again I can still feel that pain that I felt 5 years ago* 💔

  15. M.... a....

    I listened to this when I was 17 and never really thought that this would pretty much become my anthem.

    I married young at 18, and was going through an awkward transition from child to adult. I was very unprepared for a lot of what adulthood had to offer and a serious relationship (following a series of unsuccessful ones) I realized I was in way over my head. I didn't know who I was, and I realized I had very little to offer someone else. I had to grow up, while someone else was relying on me to be their other half.

    I'm happy to say I've grown a lot in the three years I've been working on myself. It's taken a lot of looking in the mirror and addressing the worst aspects of my toxic behavior and what I will do to address them. This song popped into my head whenever I was feeling at my worst, and it would help me remember that my best is just around the corner. I'm also happy to say I have a very patient husband who is also working through something similar. We're still married and coming onto our 4th anniversary very soon.

    To all of the 13 year olds who look at this song as a sad and depressing song, just focus on one word. Maturity. Maturity means that, although your not there yet, you're growing. It transforms the song from sad and depressing, to something hopeful. You'll always be growing and getting better.

  16. M.... L....

    I wish it wasn't always cold I wish I wasn't always alone. 😔🙁😖😢😭

    And I'm so sorry, it's not like me.
    It's maturity that I'm lacking.

    B.... R....

    Boyz Rexy You are living because you have a purpose. Everyone does. I think that you just haven’t found yours yet. You will someday, don’t worry

  43. C.... N....

    i always cry when i hear this song.
    Is it because all these lyrics are sad and i feel bad that anyone could go through this?
    no.
    Its because i can relate to every single line of this song. Its true.
    Im always very unhappy.
    Im always wrong.
    i think that everything is my fault and sometimes it is. A lot of people have pointed there finger at me for something i did and it always made me depressed and cry.
    Im sorry to anyone if i did something stupid or careless but even if i did do something please forgive me and dont hate me dont let me go.
    I do cry almost every single day but if i tell my parents or anyone im scared of what they will say about me.
    Im always alone and yes sometimes i like it but on others im extremely lonely and i wish i had someone to talk to me and be there for me.
    If someone swore they would be my friend i would have to start over id be like starting a new life with someone who appreciates me.
    I feel like a lot of people in my life are going to leave me. my dad has been cheating on my mom for the past four years but hes actually still at the house. its stupid but im kinda glad if he leaves. I feel like im never going to see my friends again and it makes me very lonely. My big brother will soon be going to college and getting a job i wont be able to have fun with my big bro.
    My has gone through a lot of stress with a baby her husband and sometimes her other kids so whats the chance of her to snap and not be able to take it anymore? I think she will commit suicide. Im scared i wont be able to save our love and broken family.
    I cant stop crying. I need someone to help me put myself back together. I wanna help my family but i cant. I will soon just be a lonely girl with no one but myself and depression,lonely ness, anxiety, and my broken heart.

    C.... N....

    good for you

  44. S.... ....

    My dad left 2 years ago, i cry very often because of it and almost the only person i tell what im going trough is my best friend, she means the world to me, if i ever would lost her, i dont know what to even do.
    And when i was 9, my mum and dad were fighting, and i made them stop by just jelling at them as loud as i could. i dont know what happened inside me in that moment but i didnt feel like myself, yelling at my own parents.
    and if you readed this whole thing. i bet your life is a bit better than mine. Thanks for reading. ❤

    S.... ....

    S.... ....

But I have managed to cope by telling ,y self that if they wanted to talk to me they would text me but they rarely do, so I've given up on them now. It still upsets me tho

  49. H.... M....

  50. E.... B....

    My dads anniversary was a while ago. He commuted suicide when I was 7, I'm now 15 turning 16. I can't let anyone know how I feel because I'm a role model so my siblings and friends. I keep everything bottled up and it's taking a toll on me. I just want someone to understand.

    E.... B....

    Enoch Brewer What about your mom? I’m a role model to my siblings and friends but maybe your mum? Call a help line

  51. s.... b....

    dont let me go 😥

    s.... b....

  52. E.... L....

    My FRIENDS bully me

  53. J.... G....

    I love this song.

  54. j.... ....

    "I wonder what my mom and dad would say if I told them that I cry each day " they would've said the only thing you know how to do is cry

    j.... ....

    They wouldn't care, they would think I have a disease or I'm being over dramatic and I need to go to church to forgive my sins.....




    Well shit....oh well I guess back to the shower

    j.... ....

    my mum would push the idea of me getting a psychologist

    j.... ....

    That's just sad

    j.... ....

    They love you no matter what

  55. I.... L....

    You can call me stupid but i did wipe my ipad screen because i thought the background was a dandruff

    I.... L....

    ho ho ho

  56. d.... h....

    Relate to it with adhd

    d.... h....

    back to you ha ha

  57. K.... s....

    I've been sad for a really long time.

    K.... s....

    wow how awesome is that

  58. B.... 1....

    Guys does anyone have any tips on how to deal with depression and anger. When I was 6 my grandma died. Then my grandad. Then my hamster and dog and Nans dog. I got so upset. I felt like I wanted to die. I cut my arms. That was a mistake. I had to blame my cat! People started realising I had problems. They told their parents. My best friend said to her mom: Mom my best friend has cuts on her arm and is acting strange. Then her mom said:Stay away from her she is suicidle she doesn't need you!

    All my friends left me, it's just me now. I feel like I could just tie the rope around my neck and hang there. But I know if I do that my family could feel how I felt. I am like a soldier who is slowly dying inside. It feels horrible. I need tips on how to deal with this because I would shout and scream at anyone. I would get detention at least every week. I can't stop it. Nobody understands me. Accept from you guys. You guys are just only friends. All I do is listen to music. It's hard for me. PLEASE give me tips it would mean a lot to me

    B.... 1....

    BambiVlogs 1 Take a deep breath, and, I know it's going to be hard, but tell a teacher, guidance councilor, parent, just an adult that is familiar. Try to get help. Stop the cuts. I know that its going to be hard, but you have to try.

    B.... 1....

    You should be strong. Tips: Scribble on paper. Write all your feelings on a piece of paper, don’t sign it, fold it into a paper airplane then throw it away. Far far away. Squish a pillow. Think happy thoughts. Turn your brain off.
    I’m currently helping one of my friends with the same thing so I can give help if you need it

    B.... 1....

    You should start by getting a therapist and some anti depressants and go from there. And just remember that the people who left you like that weren't your true friends

    B.... 1....

    hey I know what your going through and I get how you feel you feel like the world has ended but sweet heart you have to move on and I know its hard to but with all that sadness and depression you can get stronger and will be prepare for what is coming in your future....

  59. L.... K....
