So Sad (So Sad) - Martha

Lambert never had much craic

But when I heard her say that you were back

I almost lost my balance there and then

I dreamed of all the hours we spent

Making plans, the best of friends

But did we all get what we wanted in the end?

I guess that just depends

New years eve hanging out on Palace Green

Everyone too pissed to count in unison it seemed

Midnight came without much fuss

You were all I needed then some busker sang a song about Milton Keynes

And shattered all our dreams

And as we walked home and I told you how I sometimes feel ashamed

Of these laboured vowels and glottal stops

The way I say my name

But I can’t put my faith in

Received pronunciation

When your stories clutter corners of my brain

The sad little refrain

A feeling that remains

I still remember you and the adventures that we had

And even at our worst we weren’t really all that bad

Nostalgia can be great from time to time

But to tell the truth I’m struggling today

Why’s it gotta feel so sad?

Same time next year

I’ll meet you here

Please take me home

I think I might cry

I’m sad but I’ve no idea why
