Each day you say that you can't forget it
  Happiness' way is in your own backyard
  It could be yours, but you'll never let it
  I know you try, but you try too hard
    Each day you say that you can't forget it
  Happiness' way is in your own backyard
  It could be yours, but you'll never let it
  I know you try, but you try too hard
    It's your sad serenade again
  It starts, it never ends
  And each time I can hear your song
  I know by now that you are wrong
    Plans that you made followed to the letter
  The weight of the world isn't meant for a song
  But you know you're right and you're never better
  I know you wait, but you wait too long
    It's your sad serenade again
  It starts, it never ends
  And each time I can hear your song
  I know by now that you are wrong
    Everything I do is meant for you
  But now you must know it's true
    But that serenade, it comes back to you
    Tell your sad serenade goodbye
  'Cause by now, it's close to a lie
  Those long days into nights will know
  That serenade won't let you go
