BLUE




Mmm, mmm, mmm

I try
To live in black and white, but I’m so blue
I’d like
To mean it when I say I’m over you
But that’s still not true

(Blue, blue) and I’m still so blue, ooh

I thought we were the same, birds of a feather
Now I’m ashamed, I told you a lie
Désolé, mon amour, I’m trying my best
Don’t know what’s in store, open up the door (blue)
In the back of my mind, I’m still overseas (blue)
A bird in a cage, thought you were made for me

I try (I’m not what)
To live in black and white, but I’m so blue (but I’m not what you need)
I’d like (not what you need)
To mean it when I say I’m over you
But that’s still not true, true

(Blue, blue) and I’m still so blue (that’s not true)

I’m true blue, true blue
I’m true blue
(Blue, ooh) mmm, mmm, mmm

You were born bluer than a butterfly
Beautiful and so deprived of oxygen
Colder than your father’s eyes
He never learned to sympathize with anyone

I don’t blame you
But I can’t change you
Don’t hate you (don’t hate you)
But we can’t save you (but we can’t save you)

You were born reaching for your mother’s hands
Victim of your father’s plans to rule the world
Too afraid to step outside
Paranoid and petrified of what you’ve heard

But they could say the same ‘bout me
I sleep ‘bout three hours each night
Means only twenty-one a week now, now
And I could say the same ‘bout you
Born blameless, grew up famous too
Just a baby born blue now, now

I don’t blame you (don’t blame you)
But I can’t change you
Don’t hate you (don’t hate you)
But we can’t save you (but we can’t save you)

(But they could say the same ‘bout me)
(I sleep ‘bout three hours each night)
(Means only twenty-one a week now)
(But they could say the same ‘bout me)
(I sleep ‘bout three hours each night)
(Means only twenty-one a week now)

(But they could say the same ‘bout me)
(I sleep ‘bout three hours each night)
(Means only twenty-one a week now)
(But they could say the same ‘bout me)
(I sleep ‘bout three hours each night)
(Means only twenty-one a week now)

(Ooh) it’s over now
(Ooh) it’s over now
(Ooh) it’s over now
(Oh-oh-oh-ooh-ah)

But when can I hear the next one?
