Melancholy Boy Songtext
von Surjo

Melancholy boy
Sitting looking out at the world
Melancholy boy
You didn′t change, you're as you always were

But I know that it′s taken it's toll
You gave up love in your search for gold
And now even if you've found
What good is gold when no one′s around

Melancholy boy
You′ve often wondered how your life would be
If you could accept that joy
Does not have to be earned it's for everyone

And all you′re left with now are faded words
Broken promises so undeserved
And it seems like you have found
The sadness to make your world go around


What if you could
Take away the what-ifs from your life
I hope it does you good
You need to switch your melancholy for a smile
But I know that you feel like you don't belong
There′s no happiness for you, you've known all along
So many times you′ve tried to shake off these chains
Every time you break them off they tie you up once again

Melancholy boy
Sitting looking out at the world
Melancholy boy
Forever alone and now you're lonely too

What if you could
Take away the what-ifs from your life
You think it'd done ya good
You could have switched your melancholy for a smile
But try as you might you just never belonged
In this world of fake embraces, it always felt so wrong
To live your life with smiles that you didn′t mean
And the few times that you smiled they remained unseen

Melancholy boy
Sitting looking out at the world
Melancholy boy
You′re not alone, I'm here with you
