Sade
Sorrow
[Verse 1: XAVR]
I been feeling lonely lately
Not cuz there's nobody who would call me ’baby'
I wish there was someone I could share my soul with
Share my flow with
Share everything I know with
Share my highs and lows with
And I know that I got friends surrounding me
And them is down for me
But just when I'd found a queen
She told me she was doing perfectly well without a king
Heavy is the head that wears the crown, I think the saying goes
Am I fated just to stay alone?
Am I fated just to stay alone?
I don’t know
But every night before I go to sleep
I think about her and I wish she had my soul to keep
The emotion's deep, but she ain't digging it so
I keep it buried at an infinite low
The bottom of my heart
And I don't want to start talking about it
But I already did, so now I'm talking the loudest
Nobody ever lives their life always without it
That's just the way it is, and everybody done got it
It's the pain of rejection
Remaining a friend when
Your aim's to progress the
Relationship into
A greater in-depth connection with somebody
But it always seems affection’s unrequited
[Bridge: Niia]
I wonder if this grief will ever let me go
I feel like I am the king of sorrow
King of sorrow
King of sorrow

[Verse 2: XAVR]
So here I sit on my throne of sorrows
Wishing for a colder heart
So I don’t have to feel the broken parts so much
I'm hoping for your touch
I opened my soul up
And courted my destruction
But they say there’s other fish in the ocean, right?
And people think it's well-intentioned supportive advice
But I think it's a stupid cliché
Cuz there's not much I can do to replace my feelings
I could drown my sorrow in alcohol or
Watch it all burn away with ganja I’ll smoke
But that's not my coping mechanism
Instead I'm penning confession lyrics
Like the instrumental's my therapist
Well I guess it is
And while I'm confessing things just let me say
How devastating it is to find someone with whom
It's great chemistry and you click
But then you're taking the risk
Of decimating the ship
To escalate from "just friends"
You ask a date to just chill
Eventually you could build
But then she say to the kid
"Like hell a relationship will ever take place in this life"
And you pretend like it ain't really nothing and u ain't hurt
But in reality, there's very few things worse
Than finding out that she's your perfect match
But you ain't hers
I guess that's the way that cruel fate works
