I don't wanna write a sad song about you I don't wanna sing the words that'll cut me up again 'Cause I'm not tryna be a pessimist If anything, I'm scared of losing this 'Cause I don't wanna write a sad song about you You know that I find it hard to put words to my feelings Something about telling you that I'm broken ain't easy 'Cause I can get stuck in the past and the wounds that need healing But for now, let me tell you in the only way that I know I don't wanna write a sad song about you I don't wanna sing the words that'll cut me up again 'Cause I'm not tryna be a pessimist If anything, I'm scared of losing this 'Cause I don't wanna write a sad song about you I don't write songs about them, in the hope that they'll hear me, no It's not about now, but back then it hurt And I guess that I'm still grieving, oh I know that it sucks to hear stories of love without you in it But for now, let me tell you ours in the only way I know I don't wanna write a sad song about you I don't wanna sing the words that'll cut me up again 'Cause I'm not tryna be a pessimist If anything, I'm scared of losing this 'Cause I don't wanna write a sad song about you No, I never want to Write a sad song 'bout you Just give me time to get through All the shit that broke my heart before Then I'll start again With your name in my pen, oh-oh, oh-oh I don't wanna write a sad song about you I don't wanna sing the words that'll cut me up again 'Cause I'm not tryna be a pessimist If anything, I'm scared of losing this 'Cause I don't wanna write a sad song about you
