[Verse 1]
Coffee went cold by the kitchen sink
I missed the train by a minute, I think
Your blue mug’s still where you left it last week
Funny how small things can make me weak
[Pre-Chorus]
I put on a shirt, I tie my shoes
Walk out the door with nothing to lose
But every corner knows your name
And Monday starts the same
[Chorus]
Sad Monday, carry me slowly
Past the office and the people who don’t know me
I’m smiling on cue, but the truth keeps breaking through
Sad Monday, I’m still missing you
[Verse 2]
Rain on the glass of the number nine
A half-read message I never decline
The meeting runs long, the clock won’t move
I save your photo, then close the groove
[Pre-Chorus]
At five o’clock, the sky turns gray
I take the long route home again today
Somewhere between the stop and the door
I miss you more than before
[Chorus]
Sad Monday, carry me slowly
Past the office and the people who don’t know me
I’m smiling on cue, but the truth keeps breaking through
Sad Monday, I’m still missing you
[Bridge]
Maybe by Friday I’ll sleep through the night
Maybe next week this room will feel right
But for now, let the hours pass
I’m learning how to let them last
[Final Chorus]
Sad Monday, carry me slowly
Past the empty chair and the places that still hold me
I’m smiling on cue, but the truth keeps breaking through
Sad Monday, I’m still missing you
Sad Monday, I’m still missing you
[Outro]
Coffee went cold by the kitchen sink
I breathe in deep, and I try not to think
