  • 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, oh

    I thought we were the same
    Birds of a feather, now I'm ashamed
    I told you a lie, désolée, mon amour
    I'm tryin' 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 (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
    And I'm still so blue (and it's not true)
    I'm true blue, true blue
    I'm true blue

    Mm, mm, mm

    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 reachin' 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 (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)

    It's over now
    It's over now
    It's over now

    But when can I hear the next one? Writer/s: Billie O'Connell, Finneas O'Connell
