(M. Detroit)
Maybe it`s my blood sugar
Maybe it`s because I`m mad
Maybe it`s because things are going so good
That somehow I`ve got to make them go bad
Maybe it`s because I like it
Maybe it`s just that time
Well it sends shivers right through me
The way my own thoughts black and blue me
But I just can`t get them out of my mind
It`s the art of melancholy
I`ve really got it down
The art of melancholy
Sealed with a frown
Maybe I`m just self indulgent
Maybe I`m just insecure
Maybe it`s my mother
Or some significant other
Maybe I`ll never know for sure
I`ve got the art of melancholy
Down to a `Tee`
The art of melancholy
I guess that`s how I wanna be
I wanna be
One day I`ll be smiling
Find my cloud has a silver lining
But for now I`ll be blue
Aren`t you
It`s the art of melancholy
Down to a `Tee`
The art of melancholy
I guess that`s how I wanna be
I wanna be
That`s how I wanna be
