From the recording Sad to Know
Lyrics
Sad To Know
Knowing that each other was promised to another
We didn't care, instead we tried (instead we tried)
Tried to keep our feelings strong based on a love we knew was wrong
But we didn't dare to say goodbye (goodbye)
Bridge
Now my life has changed so much from long ago
And I don't know who you are, though you appeared to be my star (star)
And now you'll suffer the decision that you made
Well my role has been played and our story starts to fade
Chorus
Sad to know (sad to know) that you never loved me
Sad to know (sad to know) you weren't who I thought you'd be
And the promise made you couldn't keep
Verse
Realizing that you could never really be true still I took a chance, with my heart (heart)
My friends say it's better for us not to be together
Why do I rue the day that you died in my heart
Bridge 2
Now you've got him lying in the bed I made
But it wasn't a fair trade, with my emotions you played
So now all the selfish things that you do (you do)
Will come rushing back to you (coming right back at you)
What are you gonna do?
Chorus
Sad to know (sad to know) that you never loved me
Sad to know (sad to know) you weren't who I thought you'd be
And the promise made you couldn't keep
Change
He was always around when I wasn't there (wasn't there)
His presence in my absence never a question (oh oh oh)
It hurts to know you gave your love without a care
Well I don't have to stick around
The dagger you stuck in my heart's still there, it hurts to care
Bridge
So now you've got him lying in the bed I made
But it wasn't a fair trade, with my emotions you played
So now all the selfish things that you do, will come rushing back to you
What are you gonna do, what are you gonna do?
Chorus - Modulation 1 whole step
Sad to know (sad to know) that you never loved me
Sad to know (sad to know) you weren't who I thought you'd be
And the promise made you couldn't keep
Sad to know (sad to know) that you never loved me
Sad to know (sad to know) weren't who I thought that you would be yeah
(Sad to know) and you never loved me, baby
Weren't who I thought you'd be
Sad to know (sad to know) ain't it sad to know, ain't it sad to know...(whoo) to know…
You should have (sad to know) ah you couldn't have (sad to know)
Oh you should have (ain't it sad to know, ain't it sad to know) oh baby, ah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Sad to know (sad to know) and you never loved me (sad to know) oh, oh, oh, oh...yeah
(Sad to know) oh but you should have
