Why do we listen to sad songs when sad?

Human mind is so difficult to understand.
Why do we listen to sad songs when we are sad?
Why not listen to happy music to lighten up our mood?

I don't know exactly what am feeling right now.
Am not exactly happy or sad.
It's as tho am numb and I don't have any feelings at all.
So am in my room,my music and earpiece. Thinking about nothing in particular just there.

So I decided to turn my playlist on and listen to music.
At first, I was listening to cardi B's album but it didn't fit my mood.
So I changed it to Tatiana Manaois.
And I feel the lyrics are explaining what am feeling.

Now to answer that question.
Why do we listen to sad songs when sad?

I feel music understand our feelings when words are unable to express how we feel.
We listen to those songs and it like a mirror to our soul.
At some point you feel that song is about your emotions at that time.
Even tho we get more sadden when listening to this type of song it tends to get better at the end. Maybe you start crying your eyes out.

So here I am listening to this emotional songs and just here 😔.
