"Sad Song" lyrics

There's memories and then there's a memory that
Wraps you up and never lets you go
There's melodies and then there's a melody that
Keeps a door open somewhere in your soul

Sometimes you hold things closer
Once you know it's over

Maybe it was all about timing
Or we ran out of words worth rhyming
Maybe it was hard to let it go
'Cause we went out on a high note
Maybe that's how it was meant to be
Maybe we didn't do a damn thing wrong
'Cause all the best records go out on a sad song

Something beautiful is still something beautiful
Even when it makes you cry
I hope you stop and smile
Even just for a little while if I ever cross your mind, oh

Maybe it was all about timing
Or we ran out of words worth rhyming
Maybe it was hard to let it go
'Cause we said goodbye on a high note
Maybe that's how it was meant to be, yeah
Maybe we didn't do a damn thing wrong
'Cause all the best records go out on a sad song

Sometimes you hold things closer
Once you know it's over

Maybe it was all about timing
Or we ran out of words worth rhyming
Looking back I don't know why we let it go
But we said goodbye on a high note
Maybe that's how it was meant to be, yeah
Maybe we didn't do a damn thing wrong
'Cause all the best records
All the best records
All the best records
Yeah, they do
