it's a winter day five years too late

i'm feelin' cold inside

holdin' on to what i don't know

no more reasons no more wise

just my life and my love i worked so hard to keep



oooh sad but true

sad but true

it will be a very different world without him

so i just can't up and let him go

what would my children say



mad just a little sad

just a little had just a little

had just a little time for me

not good you see

i need just a little more

just a little life just a little

had just a little fun you see

there's more to me



when you're creepin' out at night

always tried to cry myself to sleep

sad but true it won't work no more

i must tell him so

goodbye is so hard to say



so sad but true

so sad but oh so true



a world of make believe

it's a place i've lived

joyous all the time

never knew my world could cave in

fall in right before my eyes i was blind

i would only see the signs i wanted to see



ooh ooh ooh sad but true

sad but true

and it will

you must take the time to deal with it

before you fall too deep in it

can't find your way back home ooh



can't change his ways

won'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

oh oh



and i feel it in my soul

our love has come to an end

sad but true it's not love no more

i must tell him so

goodbye is so hard to say



so sad but true

so sad but oh so true
