I guess it finally dawned on me you're gone

Well maybe I can make it on my own

I don't stay up wonderin' if you'll call

And some nights I don't dream of you at all

Your memory's still hurtin' deep inside

That's something I'm still learnin' how to hide

Though this heart of mine has lost an ache or two

I've only turned a lighter shade of blue

Chorus:

Lookin' down the line sometimes

I think I see a change

But then I think again and think of you

Here and there I've turned a stone

But the mountain hasn't moved

I've only turned a lighter shade of blue

I'm still afraid of turning out the light

And it takes all my strength to face the light

Cause that's the time I face the bitter truth

I've only turned a lighter shade of blue

Repeat Chorus:
