It started for me when I saw my mother cry
"Why are you crying"
She couldn't say why
"Please understand that it's always been this way
It's what I go through each and every day
It's been hell I must confess
Living in the season of my unhappiness"
"What's wrong now," my father would demand
"Why are you crying"
"You just don't understand
When God made me he felt a little sad
Or in a past life I was pretty bad
It's been hell I must confess
Living in the season of my unhappiness
This will be as good as it gets
Nothing, nothing
Dust"
Now I'm a man with a kid of my own
"Why are you crying"
"Just leave me alone
I have a sickness the color of blue
And I worry that you might catch it too
It's been hell I must confess
Living in the season of my unhappiness
This will be as good as it gets
Nothing, nothing, dust"
