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
