Sweet Sorrow (Joe K/Casia/Argle)

[Argle]

It all started with Casia's lyrics.  Joe K put together a piano track and her usual amazing vocals.  I did the rest of the music.  It's a kind of ballad, or something.

[Casia - lyricist]

Thank you Yolande and Adam.  This is one of my favorites.  Yes, its a ballad or something hahaa!


Sweet Sorrow
Lyrics:  Casia
Melody and vocals:  Yolande Straus
Music and mix:  Adam Kirby

(V1)
Love is a crime I misunderstood
Til it saw the sad smile your face
I was sinfully delirious
It felt so dangerously safe

(V2)
I clearly misunderstand
What is hidden in plain view
This planned chaos of love
Is accidentally for you

(Chorus)
Sweet, sweet sorrow
Is there no tomorrow
Is there no beginning to mend
When love has faded
And the silence deafens
Our perfect mismatch must end

(V3)
The black sun is burning cold
I have nowhere to grab ahold
How much would it cost
When all my good grief is lost
How much will it cost
How much will it cost

(Chorus)
Sweet, sweet sorrow
Is there no tomorrow
Is there no beginning to mend
When love has faded
And the silence deafens
Our perfect mismatch must end

(V1- repeat)
Love's a crime I misunderstood
Til it saw the sad smile your face
I was sinfully delirious
It felt so dangerously safe

(V2 - repeat)
I clearly misunderstand
What is hidden in plain view
This planned chaos of love
Is accidentally for you

(Chorus x 2)
Sweet, sweet sorrow
Is there no tomorrow
Is there no beginning to mend
When love has faded
And the silence deafens
Our perfect mismatch must end
