Who hurt you, sad boy?
There's a dark cloud above your head
Who hurt you, sad boy?
You act like you're already dead
But you think too much
Hey you think too much

Who hurt you fashion boy?
There's a dark cloud above your head
Who hurt you sadboy?
You act like you're already dead
But you think too much
Probably drink too much

(Bathe in that blue light baby
'Cause here comes the night
Your truest friend)

I was waiting
Waiting for anything to happen
Waiting for a love
I was just waiting for this not to hurt

I was waiting
Waiting for anything to happen
Waiting for a love
I was just waiting for this not to hurt

I was waiting
Waiting for anything to happen
Waiting for a love
I was just waiting for this not to hurt
