The sun set hours ago And I knew that you were right The moon rose, my heart froze And plunged me into the night I felt a little crazy, without song An I cried out into the air I looked down a crowded corridor And pretended you were there
I free-fell a few weeks ago And I came out from under your rule I boo-hooed in my party shoes And I stille feel like a fool And I still can’t believe how hard I was hit With the bullet of your departure I come away a little dragged down But at least maybe now I’m a little smarter
Chorus: Every day, I stay away Every way, you haunt my days
You’re still walking high and free That’s the last thing that I heard I don’t dream, it makes me want to scream But don’t dare utter a word So that’s the way it goes in the modern times No permission and no substance Well, screw the system that keeps me down With all fighting and no justice
Chorus: Every day, I stay away Every way, you haunt my days
I tip-toe to the edge of the water to peer at my reflection I don’t think I’m liking what I see Detached and disillusioned, I turn my head away Man, I don’t like knowing that’s me
So maybe I’m “Blue” for nothing Singing blue about nothing Writing, feeling, singing And it’s all a big blue nothing
Chorus: Every day, I stay away Every way, you haunt my days Every day, I stay away Every way, you haunt my days
Baby, I’m blue for nothing… Baby, I’m blue for nothing… Baby, I’m blue for nothing…
