[Verse 1]
When I'm drivin' down the road I got my radio playin' heartbreak FM
And if I got blue skies, I don't know why but I'd rather see a cloud roll in
Boy, since I met you somethin' in me changed
This ain't what I'm used to, so if it sounds kinda strange

[Chorus]
I write sad songs for sad people, somethin' 'bout the pain
I want every word to hurt like blue eyes cryin' in the rain
They say, "Do what you love," and that's just what I do
I write sad songs for sad people, but I wrote this love song for you

[Verse 2]
I really like the way I really don't hate spending my time with you
And instead of being dеad, my roses are red, and I ain't quitе so blue
I don't wanna run, and I don't want you to leave
I don't sing these kinds of songs, but there's a first time for everything

[Chorus]
I write sad songs for sad people, somethin' 'bout the pain
I want every word to hurt like blue eyes cryin' in the rain
They say, "Do what you love," and that's just what I do
I write sad songs for sad people, but I wrote this love song for you

[Bridge]
I guess it's probably time, I say somethin' 'bout those eyes
And your smile, you know what it does to me
'Cause of you, I got somethin' new to sing
[Chorus]
I write sad songs for sad people, somethin' 'bout the pain
I want every word to hurt like blue eyes cryin' in the rain
They say, "Do what you love," and that's just what I do
I write sad songs, I love sad songs
I write sad songs for sad people, but I wrote this love song for you
