Because the song is so very sad.

Maybe this is romantic drivel… a little, too late.
Who knows?
My brain is insane. I don’t need to deny it.

Once upon a time,
While I still had braces on my teeth and stars in my eyes
And my heart was whole,
A boy made me a mix tape.

On that mixtape was the song
“Lovesong”
by The Cure.

 I thought it was the saddest song in the world.
Maybe the jaded heart of that seventeen year old boy knew
Knew that one day I would weep
Weep because things aren’t the same.
Because the song is so very sad.


The song has also been covered by Adele and Jes... both great covers.
