blue

blue

that's my color

ever since the day she walked away and said we're through

not another night out on the town

i don't want to be around

anyone that maybe we both knew

and red

red was the color

right from the start before she broke my heart

and bittered the wine

i appreciate you checking in on me from time to time

but for now it's best to leave me to be blue

i can't spend an evening of pretending to my friends

that i'll be fine

no need to worry. one more truth i've had to bend

they can see through everything i say and at the end of the night

i'll be blue

for my lover

for the letter that she left for me to find

i appreciate you checking in on me from time to time

somehow i must try to start anew

so for now it's best to leave me blue

blue

that's my color

and she left me only pieces of every broken word

knowing i can't rearrange events as they occurred

somehow i must try to make it through

leave me to embrace the color blue

no one knows that color like i do
