"Sad" lyrics

"Sad"

Man, it's been a long day
Stuck thinking 'bout it driving on the freeway
Wondering if I really tried everything I could
Not knowing if I should try a little harder

Oh, but I'm scared to death
That there may not be another one like this
And I confess
That I'm only holding on by a thin, thin thread

I'm kicking the curb
'Cause you never heard
The words that you needed so bad
And I'm kicking the dirt
'Cause I never gave you
The things that you needed to have

I'm so sad, sad

Man, it's been a long night
Just sitting here, trying not to look back
Still looking at the road we never drove on
And wondering if the one I chose was the right one

Oh, but I'm scared to death
That there may not be another one like this
And I confess
That I'm only holding on by a thin, thin thread

I'm kicking the curb
'Cause you never heard
The words that you needed so bad
And I'm kicking the dirt
'Cause I never gave you
The things that you needed to have

I'm so sad, sad
I'm so sad, so sad

Oh, but I'm scared to death
That there may not be another one like this
And I confess
That I'm only holding on by a thin, thin thread

I'm kicking the curb
'Cause you never heard
The words that you needed so bad
And I'm kicking the dirt
'Cause I never gave you
The things that you needed to have

And I'm kicking the curb
'Cause you never heard
The words that you needed so bad

I'm so sad, so sad

Adam Levine described this song, saying, "'Sad' really isn't about anyone. It's just about someone having a really bad day."
Guitarist James Valentine came up with this track's melody. He recalled, "I had woken up one morning and before I was even awake I was at my piano in my living room and I played this thing. ...I recorded it on my phone and didn't even think about it. I went into the studio and Adam sort of had this concept for a song; he had a couple of the lines that would be the chorus."
In an interview with MTV News, Adam Levine told that this piano ballad is his most personal track on the album.
