You know my life would be easy

If people would leave me alone

Stop steppin' on my fingers

That i've been working to the bone

Maybe then i could come back to you

God damn i hate the blues



I've tried to put them i a bottle

Some people put' em in their arm

Either way they're gonna kill you

Slowly eat away your heart

If only i could stop the thought of you

God damn i hate the blues



I never learned to listen

To the promises i made

I never thought you'd stay away

Leaving me to take the blame

I never thought you'd follow through

God damn i hate the blues
