On your mark, get ready. Set. Go.
Oh, they say it's a brand new day,
But I don't think so.

'Cause none of the slogans,
And none of the billboards,
And certainly not the tv shows

Are gonna convince me
That the world wants to prince me
So everyone says “cheer up.”
But don't they know that

Sad people are the happiest inside.
There's no room for a bleeding heart to hide.
I see you laughing in your eyes.
And no one else notices.

The first time I met you
Your hair was dyed tangerine.
You looked like a wreck
I thought, “she's amazing!”

My heart was exploding,
But my mind was imploding.
I didn't know what to say,
The best I could do was

Sad people are the happiest inside.
There's no room for a bleeding heart to hide.
I see you laughing in your eyes.
And no one else notices.

Now that I've found you
Everything is quite different.
I laugh at the billboards,
Even watch the tv shows.

Buried inside us
Was something I didn't know.
Oh, but now I know.

Sad people are the happiest inside.
There's no room for a bleeding heart to hide.
I see you laughing in your eyes.
