Blue - Bobby Caldwell

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
