lyrics: [piano solo] i wrote this song when i was sad as i was feelin' really bad when i was sad i wrote this song 'cause i was tired of bein' wrong i didn't know what to do so i just stayed in my room and i had nothin' to eat 'cause i just wanted to sleep i made this song when i was sad i made this song when i was sad and i was stuck in my mind 'cause i was being unkind and i didn't know what to feel 'cause i just needed to heal i must stay calm when i am sad i must stay calm when i am sad but was i sad? i don't even remember was i sad? i couldn't even know i wrote this song when i was sad i wrote this song when i was sad was i sad? (um...) it didn't even seem bad (it was...) was i sad? (yep...) or did i overreact? yes i wrote this song when i was sad but now i'm feeling really rad just as long as others don't get mad that i was feeling really sad (but what if it's not the end? what if i get sad again?) i wrote this song when i was at a time when i had to write a song (i'm just lost at this point... ...what do i do?) [vibraphone solo] (gah, i just messed up... not perfect... oh no... how can i live with the fact that i'm pushing away all my friends?) i must remember i am sad i must remember i am sad take a step back 's just a minor setback take a step back 's how we're gonna get back (i wrote this song when i was sad i wrote this song when i was sad) take a step back (wait...) woah i'm goin' way back (i know...) take a step back (help...) and i'm never comin' back wrote this song when i was sad wrote this song when i was sa-a-a-a (stayed in bed when i was sad) a-a-a-a (anxiety controlled me, man) a-a-a-a (i couldn't eat, could barely walk) a-a-a-ad (and i believed i shouldn't talk) so sa-a-a-a (when will the sadness end) a-a-a-a (mind reduced to nothing, friend) a-a-a-a (i just...) a-a-a-ad (i'm sorry, i can't...) when i was sad i wrote this song but i wasn't sad for very long (even though i kinda was...)
