It was a busy day in Santa Fe
And just around the corner from the railway
You were in line at the café behind
The old park where the stars were aligned
Why oh why, did you say goodbye
Life was meant to be you and I
Ive painted myself black and blue
Hanging on to everything you do
My hearts' in pieces but what else is new
Because you have left me black, and blue
Should I try to walk by or kindly say hi
The pain in my heart brings a tear to by eye
Remembering the memories of years gone by
Its so hard to breathe and I feel I could die
Now I know, why we said goodbye
Life moves on and there's no more you and I
Youve painted me black and blue
Torn clear in half by the things you do
My hearts' in piece but what else is new
Because you have left me black, and blue
I realize something now that youre gone
You were not the one, you were all wrong
I may be beat and bruised, but Im getting strong
And life keeps moving on
Youve painted me black and blue
Torn clear in half... by the things you do
Im still in piece but else is new
Because you have left me black, and blue
Youve left me
Youve left me
Black, and blue
