  • I took a pill in Ibiza
    To show Avicii I was cool
    And when I finally got sober, felt ten years older
    But fuck it, it was something to do
    I'm living out in LA
    I drive a sports car just to prove
    I'm a real big baller 'cause I made a million dollars
    And I spend it on girls and shoes

    But you don't wanna be high like me
    Never really knowing why like me
    You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
    You don't wanna ride the bus like this
    Never knowing who to trust like this
    You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
    Stuck up on that stage singing
    All I know are sad songs, sad songs
    Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs

    I'm just a singer who already blew his shot
    I get along with old timers
    'Cause my name's a reminder of a pop song people forgot
    And I can't keep a girl, no
    'Cause as soon as the sun comes up
    I cut 'em all loose and work's my excuse
    But the truth is I can't open up

    Now you don't wanna be high like me
    Never really knowing why like me
    You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
    You don't wanna ride the bus like this
    Never knowing who to trust like this
    You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
    Stuck up on that stage singing
    All I know are sad songs, sad songs
    Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs (hey)

    I took a plane to my hometown
    I brought my pride and my guitar
    All my friends are all gone but there's manicured lawns
    And the people still think I'm a star
    I walked around downtown
    I met some fans on Lafayette
    They said tell us how to make it 'cause we're getting real impatient
    So I looked 'em in the eye and said

    You don't wanna be high like me
    Never really knowing why like me
    You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
    You don't wanna ride the bus like this
    Never knowing who to trust like this
    You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
    Stuck up on that stage singing
    All that I know are sad songs, sad songs
    Darling, all that I know are sad songs, sad songs Writer/s: Mike Posner
