[Verse 1]
Happier times flash through my mind
We both say it's over, and I believe it this time
All the pain that I hide
Let it play through the night

[Chorus]
A sad, sad serenade
Sad serenade
We almost got it right
A sad, sad serenade
Sad serenade
For every broken heart tonight
All the love, that we made
Turn it up, let it play
A sad, sad serenade
Sad serenade

[Verse 2]
I won't regret what I won't forget
Memories and your number are all I have left
I wish you the best, I really do
Even though I know that I'm still not over you
I know that we both are to blame
I can't believe, you didn't fight harder for me

[Chorus]
It's a sad, sad serenade
Sad serenade
We almost got it right
A sad, sad serenade
Sad serenade
For every broken heart tonight
All the love, that we made
Turn it up, let it play
A sad, sad serenade
Sad serenade

[Bridge]
The more you love, the more it hurts
When it ends, when it's over
All that's left are the memories
Playing over, and over
In your head, in your heart
Turn it up, make it stop
Tonight, all over the world
The most beautiful song ever heard

[Chorus]
Is a sad, sad serenade
Sad serenade
We almost got it right
A sad, sad serenade
Sad serenade
For every broken heart tonight
All the love, that we made
Turn it up, let it play
A sad, sad serenade
Sad serenade
A sad, sad serenade
Sad serenade
A sad, sad serenade
Sad serenade

Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez is an American singer and actress. Born in Grand Prairie, Texas, she appeared in Barney & Friends as a child. In 2007, Gomez came to prominence as a starring cast member of the Emmy Award-winning television series Wizards of Waverly Place, in which she portrayed the protagonist Alex Russo.

In 2008, Gomez signed to Hollywood Records and became the founder and lead singer of the pop band Selena Gomez & The Scene. Their studio albums Kiss & Tell, A Year Without Rain, and When the Sun Goes Down were all certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and have spawned the platinum-certified singles “Naturally”, “Who Says”, and “Love You Like a Love Song”. Gomez’s debut solo album Stars Dance was released in summer 2013, and was preceded by its lead single “Come & Get It”.

In November 2014, Gomez made a greatest hits compilation called For You, which included the (at the time new) hit single “The Heart Wants What It Wants.” Gomez’s contract with Hollywood Records expired, and she signed a contract with Interscope for her second solo album Revival, which was released in October 2015.
