I took a pill in Ibiza, to show Avicii I was cool When I finally got sober, felt ten years older, but fuck it, it was something to do I'm living out in L.A., I drive a sports car just to prove I'm a real big baller cause I made a million dollars and I'm spending on girls and shoes You don't wanna be high like me, never really knowing why like me You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone You don't wanna ride the bus like this, never knowing who to trust like this You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing, stuck up on that stage singing All I know are sad songs, sad songs Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs I'm just a singer, who already blew his shot I get along with old Thomas cause my name's a reminder of a pop song people forgot And I can't keep a girl long, cause as soon as the sun comes up I cut them all loose and my work's my excuse, but the truth is I can't open up You don't wanna be high like me, never really knowing why like me You never don't wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone You don't wanna ride the bus like this, never knowing who to trust like this You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing, stuck up on that stage singing All I know are sad songs, sad songs Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs Sad songs I took a plane to my hometown, I brought my pride and my guitar All my friends are all gone but there's manicured lawns and the people still think I'm a star I walk around downtown, I met some fans on Lafayette They said tell us how to make it cause we're getting real impatient So I looked them in the eye and said You don't wanna be high like me, never really knowing why like me You never don't wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone You don't wanna ride the bus like this, never knowing who to trust like this You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing, stuck up on that stage singing All I know are sad songs, sad songs Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs Sad songs Sad songs Sad songs
