It's a winter day five years too late
I'm feelin' cold inside
Holdin' on to what I don't know
No more reasons no more wise
Just my life and my love I worked so hard to keep

Oooh sad but true
Sad but true
It will be a very different world without him
So I just can't up and let him go
What would my children say

Mad just a little sad
Just a little had just a little
Had just a little time for me
Not good you see
I need just a little more
Just a little life just a little
Had just a little fun you see
There's more to me

When you're creepin' out at night
Always tried to cry myself to sleep
Sad but true it won't work no more
I must tell him so
Goodbye is so hard to say

So sad but true
So sad but oh so true

A world of make believe
It's a place I've lived
Joyous all the time
Never knew my world could cave in
Fall in right before my eyes I was blind
I would only see the signs I wanted to see

Ooh ooh ooh sad but true
Sad but true
And it will
You must take the time to deal with it
Before you fall too deep in it
Can't find your way back home ooh

Can't change his ways
Won't change my ways
If things stay the same
No one wins the game
I deserve better
He needs it better
I'm not so happy he can't be happy
Oh oh

And I feel it in my soul
Our love has come to an end
Sad but true it's not love no more
I must tell him so
Goodbye is so hard to say

So sad but true
So sad but oh so true
