Sweet melancholy
Both happy and free
A bird flying through the air
All it thinks about is how it doesn't care
What anyone thinks or says
Even if you're a mess

The feeling of loving someone
But that someone is yourself
And you don't take crap from no one
Because you know you're better than that

So sweet, whistling in the wind
Forgive me melancholy, for I have sinned
Casting you away,
Into the darkness
For I wish not to say,
Why I embarked in this
This feeling of hopelessness

But then, out of the blue
My sweet melancholy lets me see colours, so true
Erasing every aching confusion
It's clear now, you were just an illusion

So free, my sweet melancholy
And as you sing, as pure as love sounds
Sweet melancholy is what I found
The bird flies higher and higher
Untamed, up to the sky
And continues to find its heart's desire
Oh my sweet melancholy, you're mine
