Blue Skies - Devlin

Seventeen years old when the streets were cold

Running 'round in circles with thieves and thugs

Only lady I loved was Mumz until I got deep involved with a girl that stole my

soul

Her breath filled up my lungs and my hand was her’s to hold

I ain’t never felt this, so I might be a little selfish

But I can’t say that I love you yet I don’t want no lies to be told

But then lo and behold the words were spurted and the lines were merging

Now I love you more than you even know

You don’t need me no more now your heart is jaded

She, knew me through and through too well to ever love me

You don’t need me no more now your heart is jaded

She, knew me through and through too well to ever love me

Inseparable, now my love’s unmeasurable

Until I got a name and fame and blew up inside this game I weren’t Devs at all

Just James, but James was Jimmy and Jimmy was busy

Making songs like London City spending nights in a hundred cities

And ladies called me out and that’s when you caught me out

I ain’t never seen pain like it and to know it was me that applied it

Made me sick to the bones why would I wanna hurt my sidekick

The girl that would ride with me die with me and saw more inside of me

And believed in me and what I could be

When I nearly stopped my writing you told me to keep on fighting

I wish I would have fought for you half as much as I’ve fought for this

The industry’s an illusion how the hell did I fall for tricks

Paused I’m pissed

(Silence)

With a head full of awkwardness

You don’t need me no more now your heart is jaded

She, knew me through and through too well to ever love me

You don’t need me no more now your heart is jaded

She, knew me through and through too well to ever love me

I can’t describe in words the days and nights it hurts life’s a blur

They say that in life we learn, I learnt the hard way

I lost my love and my soulmate and my best compadré

I could have killed myself for being so blazé now it’s heartache

To know that you’re with some kid that don’t love you like I did

Like I do, like I will to the grave excuse the way I behaved

But now I’m a slave to my own past

I just backtrack but you’ve grown fast

And I hope that hope lasts because bad dreams in a broke glass don’t count for

much

I need your hand to touch, I’m scared that I won’t ever get that

Again just random sluts that I don’t care for

They’re the reason that I’m standing here for so therefore

It’s my fault that I’m down on my luck and I’m stuck

You don’t need me no more now your heart is jaded

She, knew me through and through too well to ever love me

You don’t need me no more now your heart is jaded

She, knew me through and through too well to ever love me

No you don’t need me

No love you don’t need me
