I know it gets sad
when I don't think the waves
will ever come back to shore,
at least not the way
it did the first time.

I know it gets sad
when I don't think hope is still
lingering around me
waiting to be found

I know it gets sad
when I start to think
of how Rose lived,
grew old, but
never got to be with Jack again

I know it gets sad
when I remember how
we used to say
"You're my Allie."

Now, will you be my Allie?
Come back after seven years
engaged and in love with another
but in the end, we'll always be together

I know it gets sad
when I pray and beg
to anyone who's listening up there
please, please, stop this

It gets sad a lot nowadays
Some say it'll be okay
Maybe it got better for them
but not for me
Never for me
it always gets sad
