Sad Man

by Ywis

on Leonardo's Dream (2010)

Well it took you sixteen years
To find out that you were no perfect pair
That your life was a despair
You dared to take the step
To try to find a new track to run on
In a race that can be won

But at the second chance
Your start was false, you knew you'd better stop
You had to give it up
It felt like you were tied
The recent past was far too close at hand
You were about to face that man

Don't let the sad man get you
Don't listen to him
When he offers you his heart
Realise what you're got
And walk on
Don't let the sad man get you
Don't let him act upon
Attempts for a new start
Realise what you've got
Realise

If every start seems false
Don't look around to blame the first one you see
Find a lane that is still free
Believe in who you are
Ignore the man who beckons from all sides
Run ‘til you find that place to hide

Don't let the sad man get you
Don't listen to him
When he offers you his heart
Realise what you're got
And walk on
Don't let the sad man get you
Don't let him act upon
Attempts for a new start
Realise what you've got
Realise

Don't let the sad man get you
Don't listen to him
When he offers you his heart
Realise what you're got
And walk on
Don't let the sad man get you
Don't let him act upon
Attempts for a new start
Realise what you've got
Realise
