"Sad But True"的詞曲作者不詳,通常由作曲家Hana Mandlik和Phil Winter在二○○一年編寫的音樂劇《Undiscovered》中演唱。
歌詞如下:
Verse 1:
Sad but true, it's the end of the rainbow
No pot of gold, but a tear or two
And I'm left here, wondering what to do
Cause I can't find the way to make it through
Chorus:
Sad but true, my heart's been broken
Now I'm all alone, I can't believe it's over
But it's sad but true, we're done forever
Now I'm standing on my own two feet
Verse 2:
I keep thinking back to all the times we laughed
The memories, they don't seem so far away
But now they're fading, like a dream that's slipping through my fingers
And I'm left here, feeling lost and empty
Chorus:
Sad but true, my heart's been broken
Now I'm all alone, I can't believe it's over
But it's sad but true, we're done forever
Now I'm standing on my own two feet
Bridge:
I know there's no use in crying over spilled milk
But I feel like I'm drowning in a sea of sadness
And I don't know how to swim anymore
So I'll just keep on swimming in the deep blue sea
Chorus:
Sad but true, my heart's been broken
Now I'm all alone, I can't believe it's over
But it's sad but true, we're done forever
Now I have to face the truth.
