BLUE

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 And I'm still so blue 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 In the back of my mind I'm still overseas A bird in a cage Thought you were made for me I try To live in black and white but I'm so blue (but I'm not what you need) I'd like (I'm not what you need) To mean it when I say I'm over you (I know) But that's still not true, true And I'm still so blue (That's not you) I'm true blue, true blue I'm true blue 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) But we can't save you (Can't save) 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 But I can't change you Don't hate you But we can't save you But when can I hear the next one?
