"Melancholia" lyrics

"Melancholia"

My coffee's cold, my paper's old
My heart is sold to melancholia
My clothes are torn, my shoes are worn
My heart is born to melancholia

A strange surprise, what I despised
In other guys is here in me
They lose their girl, they lose their world
And then they cry for all to see

I've never felt so bad
The virus drives me mad

The sheets are grey, left since the day
She went away, I lost all power
The dust is thick, the dog is sick
The kids have picked most of the flowers

The sun is shining
But not for me
The sun is shining
But not for me

I've never felt so bad
The virus drives me mad

The sheets are grey, left since the day
She went away, I lost all power
The dog is sick, the dust is thick
The kids have picked most of the flowers
