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 still 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

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

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

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
