Lyrics
I'm hold ing
back right now
'Cause I'm numb
to what's a
round I miss the life I used to
have with you right here Now ev ery thing has turned to grey And I'm black ing out the shades for now … Let me be sad E ven for a lit tle while Just a chance to
catch my breath Let
me be sad E ven for a lit tle while 'Cause it's all that I have left When all I see are the
me mo ries, I don't want to lose a thing Let me be sad, let me be sad … Can you see it in my eyes?
I've been dis tant 'Cause I can't tell if it's the end or the be gin ning I know I ha ven't been my self, I'll ad mit it And I put up walls, so
if I burned any brid ges just know I'm do ing ev ery thing I can to try and fix it But know ing me, I'll pro bab ly miss it These voi ces get so vi cious Feels like I'm rip pin' stit ches I wish some days I could go back Be fore life changed, it was so fast That time is gone and I know that So please … Let me be sad E ven for a lit tle while Just a chance to catch my breath Let me be sad E ven for a
lit tle
while 'Cause it's all that I have left
When all I see are
the me mo ries, I don't want to lose a thing Let me be sad, let
me be sad … I'm do ing ev ery thing I can to try and fix it But know ing me, I'll pro bab ly miss it These voi ces get so vi cious Feels like I'm rip pin' stit ches

- What key is "How To Play Let Me Be Sad-i Prevail On" played in?
- How To Play Let Me Be Sad-i Prevail On is arranged in the key of Fm on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.

- The arrangement plays at 64 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "How To Play Let Me Be Sad-i Prevail On" easy to play on piano?
- This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.
- Can I download sheet music for "How To Play Let Me Be Sad-i Prevail On"?
- Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "How To Play Let Me Be Sad-i Prevail On" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature Fm, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
- Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
- Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
- Yes — slow the tempo from 64 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
- Why can I click a note in the score?
- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
- Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
- Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
