Sixpence None The Richer
"Sad But True"

Music & Lyrics by : Matt Slocum

if I could have the words to change 
to speak into the world would they fly 
I wonder if they'd put them in a jeweled box for sale 

Chorus 1 
but I need to strengthen the things that remain 
it's sad but true 
beauty never sells
in everything the same, it's true 
it's sad but true 

I want give in to what they want 
or has the window closed any way 
between the world they want to hear 
and what they love me to say 

Chorus 2 
but I need to strengthen the things that remain 
it's sad but true 
beauty never sells
money makes the rules, it's true 
it's sad but true 

one of these days something will break through 
I want to 
but I wait a whole world, 
but I wait a whole world 

it's sad but true 
it's sad but true 

Chorus 2
