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
