[Verse 1]
All the photographs were peeling
And colors turned to gray
He stayed in his room with memories for days
He faced an undertow of futures laid to waste
Embraced by the loss of what he could not replace
There is no reason that she passed
And there is no god with a plan

[Chorus]
It's sad, and his loneliness is proof
It's sad, he could only love you
It's sad

[Verse 2]
The door swings to a passing fable
A fate we may delay
Holding on, to live within our embrace
Eleven nights, he laid in bed
Hoping that dreams would bring her back, it’s sad

[Chorus]
It's sad, and his loneliness is proof
It's sad, he could only love you
It's sad

[Verse 3]
Holding his last breath
Believing he'll make his way
But she's not forgotten
He's haunted, he's searching for escape
If just one wish could bring her back

[Chorus]
It's sad, and his loneliness is proof
It's sad, he could only love you
It's sad

Pearl Jam

Founded in 1990 in Seattle, Pearl Jam is one of the most successful bands out of the grunge movement, if not of the whole alternative rock scene from the early 90s. The group started with Stone Gossard (guitar) and Jeff Ament (bass), veterans of the proto-grunge scene, recording a demo along with local guitarist Mike McCready. Once the tape passed along, it attracted a San Diego-based singer, Eddie Vedder. Along with drummer Dave Krusen, they signed with Epic Records and released Ten in 1991, which by the following year was becoming one of the most successful debut albums ever.

Growing uncomfortable with success, the following albums went for a more anguished and experimental sound, and the band’s notorious activism had its most prominent case once they boycotted Ticketmaster, accusing them of price-gouging fans. In the meantime, various drummers passed through the band, with percussion only settling once Soundgarden’s Matt Cameron joined them in the tour for 1998’s Yield.

With 10 studio albums and various live recordings (including “Official Bootlegs” of basically every concert the band performed since 2000), Pearl Jam has sold nearly 32 million records in the U.S. and an estimated 60 million worldwide.
