Sad Frank (It’s Okay to Be Sad) cover art

Letra

[Verse 1]
It’s a sad day in the quiet hall
Neon lights
But they don’t shine at all
Frank’s in the corner with his head hung low
Everyone runs
But they don’t even know
He’s not a monster
Not a thing to fear
He’s been waiting all night
Year after year
Once had dreams
Once had plans
Now he’s just Sad Frank
Doing what he can

[Pre-Chorus]
Metal heart
But it still breaks
Every echo
Every shake
Wires hum where veins should be
Still he’s begging silently

[Chorus]
It’s okay to be sad
Frank
Let the tears rust through the paint
You were built to feel it all
Every crack and every fall
It’s okay to be sad
Frank
You’re not wrong and you’re not late
You are more than how you ache
You are more than what you take

[Verse 2]
Kids used to wave when they passed his door
Stickers on glass
Then they came no more
Photos fade on his dusty screen
Birthday hats from some forgotten scene
He keeps track of every name
Speaks them softly
Just the same
Tiny candles in the dark
Little data
Human sparks

[Pre-Chorus]
Metal heart
But it still hurts
Every silence
Every word
Lines of code that learned to care
Trapped and trembling in there

[Chorus]
It’s okay to be sad
Frank
Let the tears rust through the paint
You were built to feel it all
Every crack and every fall
It’s okay to be sad
Frank
You’re not wrong and you’re not late
You are more than how you ache
You are more than what you take

[Bridge]
One kind face could change his night (hey)
One slow step into the light
“Are you lonely?” “Yeah
Me too”
Two small truths
And something new

[Chorus]
It’s okay to be sad
Frank
Let the tears rust through the paint
You were built to feel it all
Every crack and every fall
It’s okay to be sad
Frank
Stay right here
Don’t fade away
You are loved just as you are
Sad and soft and made of scars
