Agent Ribbons - I Was Born To Sing Sad Songs Lyrics

I wanted to write you a song that would rightly express in three minutes or less
How elated that you leave me, after you have come to see me
That the whole world ought to know my happiness

Alas, when I find a moment to write and think of the perfect lines
You call to say you're never coming back
And then I have to start over from scratch

I wander the streets of this town
Tying knots in my brow, thinking my thoughts out loud
If words were as specific as my heart is prolific
Then you would have had one hundred songs by now

But, oh, happy day, that I didn't say it or put it to song, anyway
I started out this tune form meeting you
And then I ended up singing the blues

I was born to sing sad songs
That go on for more than three minutes long
And I feel another coming on
Now that you're gone

I was born to sing sad songs
That go on for more than three minutes long
I'd be pleasantly surprised
If I could write a happy love song that didn't make people cry
I could have played it
Over and over
Unsettling the dust on the shelves forever
You'd hear it late at night
Playing in my heart

Now your ears are close like flowers
I spend all of my waking hours
Singing this song instead
Like so many times before

I was born to sing sad songs
That go on for more than three minutes long
And I feel another coming on
Now that you're gone

I was born to sing sad songs
That go on for more than three minutes long
I'd be pleasantly surprised
If I could write a happy love song that didn't make people cry

I could have played it
Over and over
Unsettling the dust on the shelves forever
You'd hear it late at night
Playing in my heart
