Lyrics Born Sad - Mary Lambert

Keeping my head above water is all that I know how to do
But it's kind of beautiful underneath it all
Ever since I was a child, was a sad one
And why you got to cry all the time
All the time?

Keeping my head above water is all that I can do
Did anybody ever teach you that people are born sad?
And are just born sad
Born sad
Born sad
Born sad
Born sad

Clinging my books to my chest
Asking the pages
"Will anybody anywhere ever love me back?"
I got some secrets that keep creeping out of my sleep
Asking my good guy
"Will they ever go away?"

And are just born sad
Born sad (How do I have hope)
Born sad (How do I have hope)
Born sad
Born sad (How do I have hope)
Born sad

How do I have hope
How do I have hope
How do I have hope
How do I have hope
How do I have hope
How do I have hope (nobody wants to be happy)
How do I have hope (nobody knows how to do it)
How do I have hope (everybody wants to be happy)
How do I have hope (everybody knows how to do it)
You got to get out of bed (how do I have hope)
Sometimes you don't get out of bed (how do I have hope)
You got to get out of bed (how do I have hope)
You got to get out of bed (how do I have hope)
We all get out of bed (how do I have hope)
Sometimes we don't get out of bed (how do I have hope)
Crying and laughing at the same time (You got to get out of bed)
Crying and laughing at the same time (You got to get out of bed)
Crying and laughing at the same time (You got to get out of bed)
Crying and laughing at the same time (You got to get out of bed)
Crying and laughing at the same time (You got to get out of bed)
Crying and laughing at the same time (You got to get out of bed)

Maybe I'm born sad
Maybe I'm born sad
Maybe I'm born sad (Nobody wants to be happy)
