Sadness Don't Own Me - The Staves

Oh, my god

It’s been so long

I’m a passenger, satellite

Still hanging on

Man am I terrified

At least I can say that I tried

Man am I burning alive

What have I become

Sadness don’t own me for long

All that time, over too soon

And there’s panic rising up, spilling out

Eclipsing the moon

Deep, deep, down

Getting back up

Check your jacket pocket

Check your jeans

But it’s not enough

Man am I terrified

(take it all away)

'least I can say that I tried

(when I’m still the same)

Man am I burning alive

What have I become

Oh sadness don’t own me for long

(Own me for long)

What have I become

Oh sadness don’t own me for long

(Own me for long)
