I know you're sad, sweetheart, but it will pass
And I am on my own dark path, and so I must go
She was dear to you all, though not near
So you cannot be blamed for feeling low
And if I could fix it, then damn I would
But I'm less than just a man to be of aid
And even less than usual, I'm afraid
One day you'll thank the lord I didn't stay
Oh, oh, oh
What can I say more than that every day
That the world, it is unfair and will not change?
Learn from me, bury it all down 'neath
It's unhealthy but it sure keeps out the pain
And stops you from feeling anyone's to blame
'Cause that just leads to disappointment all your days
But I'm pretty sure that everything will pass
Over to that always greener grass
Sinks into the glass' empty half
Sinks into the glass' empty
