Each day you say that you can't forget it 

Happiness' way is in your own backyard

It could be yours, but you'll never let it

I know you try, but you try too hard



Each day you say that you can't forget it

Happiness' way is in your own backyard

It could be yours, but you'll never let it

I know you try, but you try too hard



It's your sad serenade again

It starts, it never ends

And each time I can hear your song

I know by now that you are wrong



Plans that you made followed to the letter

The weight of the world isn't meant for a song

But you know you're right and you're never better

I know you wait, but you wait too long



It's your sad serenade again

It starts, it never ends

And each time I can hear your song

I know by now that you are wrong



Everything I do is meant for you

But now you must know it's true



But that serenade, it comes back to you



Tell your sad serenade goodbye

'Cause by now, it's close to a lie

Those long days into nights will know

That serenade won't let you go
