[Verse 1]
It's a winter day
Five years too late
I'm feelin' cold inside
Holding on to what I don't know
No more reasons, no more whys
Just my life
And my love I worked so hard to keep

[Chorus]
Ooh, sad but true
Sad but true, it will be
A very different world without him
So I can't just up and let him go
What would my children say?

[Verse 2]
Mad, just a little sad
Just a little bad, just a little had
Just a little time for me (Ooh)
Not good you see
I need just a little more, just a little lot
Just a little love, just a little fun you see
There's more to me

Ooh, when you're creepin' out at night
Always try to cry myself to sleep
[Chorus]
Sad but true (Sad but true)
It's not worth no more
I must tell him so
Goodbye is so hard to say
So sad but true
So sad but oh so true

[Verse 3]
A world of make believe
It's a place I've lived
Joyous all the time
Never knew my world could cave in
Fallin' right before my eyes
I was blind
I would only see the signs I wanted to see

[Chorus]
Ooh ooh ooh, sad but true
Sad but true and it's real
You must take the time to deal with it
Before you fall too deep in it
Can't find your way back home, ooh ooh

[Verse 4]
Ooh, can't change his ways
Can'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
Aah, and the feeling in my soul
Our love has come to an end
[Chorus]
Sad but true (Sad but true)
It's not worth no more
I must tell him so
Goodbye is so hard to say
So sad but true
So sad but oh so true
