It's a winter day 
 Five years too late 
 I'm feelin' cold inside 
 Holding on to what I don't know 
 No more reasons, no more whys 
 Just my life 
 And my love I worked so hard to keep 
    Ooh, sad but true 
 Sad but true, it will be 
 A very different world without him 
 So I can't just up and let him go 
 What would my children say?   
 Mad, just a little sad, just a little bad, just a little had 
 Just a little time for me (oooh) 
 Not good you see 
 I need just a little more, just a little love, just a 
 Can't you see there's more to me? 
 Ooh, when you're creepin' out at night 
 Always try to cry myself to sleep   
 Sad but true (sad but true) 
 It's not worth no more 
 I must tell him so 
 Goodbye is so hard to say 
 So sad but true 
 So sad but oh so true   
 A world of make believe 
 It's a place I've lived 
 Joyous all the ti-ime 
 Never knew my world could cave in 
 Fall in right before my eyes 
 I was blind 
 I would only see the signs I wanted to see   
 Ooh, sad but true 
 Sad but true and it's real 
 You must take the time to deal with it 
 Before you fall to deep in it 
 Can't find your way back home   
 Ooh, can't change his ways 
 Can't change my ways 
 If things stay the same 
 No one wins the game 
 I deserve better 
 He needs it better 
 I'm not so happy 
 He can't be happy 
 Aah, and the feeling in my soul 
 Our love has come to an end   
 Sad but true (sad but true) 
 It's not worth no more 
 I must tell him so 
 Goodbye is so hard to say 
 So sad but true 
 So sad but oh so true
