You want what you can't have," these lyrics narrate a relationship full of conflict, even though it once brought beautiful moments. This song also illustrates the emotional exhaustion caused by a partner's behavior that can disrupt sanity.

"why you crying, why you trying so bad to get me, TMI, patronizing my sanity." The song sad face :( invites listeners to be firm and exit a toxic relationship.

Sad face, mad face
Best you never had face
Your place, my place
You won't meet me halfway

Sad face, mad face
Put you in my past face
Forget your sad, sad, sad face

We had good days and bad
We had nights in the past
We had fights, they don't last
You want what you can't have
Let's go horizontally

Why you gettin' so chatty
You just wanna get nasty
Oh shut your mouth and use it right
Quit talkin' about last night

These girls that you say you don't know (no no)
Guilt trippin' over what's her name for

Claim you wi-i-ld
You don't get me hi-i-igh
Baby don't I make ya cry
Damn

Lookin' at me with the

Sad face, mad face
Best you never had face
Your place, my place
You won't meet me halfway

Sad face, mad face
Put you in my past face
Forget your sad, sad, sad face

We had good days and bad
We had nights in the past
We had fights, they don't last, babe
You want what you can't have, babe

Why you gettin' so chatty
You just wanna get nasty
Oh shut your mouth and use it right
Quit talkin' about last night

Dum du du dum how bout you speak up
Don't play dumb and dumber
Jim Carrey it
You're outta luck
I gotta pop the top

Let, let, let me in your mind
Less, less you got something to hide

Sad face, mad face
Best you never had face
Your place, my place
You won't meet me halfway

Sad face, mad face
Put you in my past face
Forget your sad, sad, sad face

Why you crying
Why you trying so bad to get to me
T M I
Patronizing my sanity

Whoa
Talkin' to the guy I told you not to worry about
Girls blowin' up my phone askin' if I'm comin' out

Baby forget your sad face (sad face)
You just in a bad place (bad place)
Makin' me wait all day
Maybe that's the reason why you got me out here lookin' at your

Sad face, mad face
Best you never had face
Your place, my place
You won't meet me halfway

Sad face, mad face
Put you in my past face
Forget your sad, sad, sad face

Sad face, mad face

Your place, my place
You won't meet me halfway

Sad face, mad face
Put you in my past face
Forget your sad, sad, sad face
