You know my life would be easy

If people would leave me alone

Stop steppin' on my fingers

That i've been workin' to the bone

Maybe then i could get back with you

God damn i hate the blues



I've tried to put 'em in a bottle

Some people pu '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'd made

I never thought you'd stay away

Leaving me to take the blame

I never thought you'de follow through

God damn i hate the blues
