Alicia Keys — Why Do I Feel So Sad

[Verse 1] Friends we've been for so long Now true colors are showing Makes me wanna cry Oh, yes, it does 'Cause I had to say goodbye [Chorus] By now, I should know That, in time, things must change So it shouldn't be so bad So why do I feel so sad? [Verse 2] How can I adjust To the way that things are going? It's killing me slowly Oh, I just want it to be how it used to be, yeah [Chorus] 'Cause I wish that I could stay But, in time, things must change So it shouldn't be so bad So why do I feel so sad? (Uh) [Bridge] You cannot hide the way you feel inside I realize Your actions speak much louder than words So tell me why, oh [Chorus] By now, I should know that (Should know) That, in time, things must change (Things must change) So it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be so bad (Be so bad) So why do I feel so sad? By now, I should know (I should know) That, in time, things must change (Things must change) So it shouldn't be so bad (Be so bad) So why do I feel so sad? [Bridge] By now, by now, I should know (I should know) That in time things must grow And I had to leave you behind (Things must change) So why do I feel so sad (Be so sad) If it couldn't be that bad? Tell me why (Why do I feel so sad?) [Chorus] By now, I should know (I should know) That, in time, things must change (Things must change) So it shouldn't be so bad (Be so bad) So why do I feel so sad? (So sad) [Outro] Why do I feel so sad? (Why do I feel so sad?) When I know that it must change (Why do I feel so sad?) It must change, I don't mind Just be real with me, just be truthful (Truthful) And the rest, I'm leaving up to this one, yeah Why does it feel so bad inside (Ah-ah-ah) When I realize that you got to be left behind? (I feel so sad)
