Album: Gone (1995)

Don't Be Sad

(Dwight Yoakam)
Chorus:
Don't be sad 'cause you got what you wanted
You should be glad to know that I'm finally gone
Don't feel bad or be disappointed
'Cause you got what you wanted all along
Wasn't it you who said a
Blinded fool could see the
Clear plain truth about how
Deeply cruel it is to
Live a lie here with each other
And mourn a life that won't recover
As I recall those were the very words I heard you use
Chorus:
So don't be sad 'cause you got what you wanted
You should be glad to know that I'm finally gone
Don't feel bad or be disappointed
'Cause you got what you wanted all along
Wasn't it me who asked so
Stupidly if there were
Things that I could maybe
Do or try to somehow
Hold what feel apart together
But you just coldly told me never
To even entertain the though that our love would survive
Chorus:
So don't be sad 'cause you got what you wanted
You should be glad to know that I'm finally gone
Don't feel bad or be disappointed
'Cause you got what you wanted all along
