I never wanted to be blue
But what else can I do
But sit here waiting for you
To let me down
I wanted to be rain
Falling on your face
Sinking through your bones
You'd catch me like a cold
The sky closed up thick enough to fall
But the clouds circled north and left me nothing at all
I never wanted to still
Be thirsty for the kill
But baby what I thrill
It is to beat this way
I wanted to be right
But there's darkness in the light
Like the sun breaking through
Spilling shadows across the room
I went walking alone and listened for the sound
Of the city through the noise I never fought to keep out
Never fought to keep out
I fought to keep it in
I never wanted to be blue
But what else can I do
But sit here waiting for you
To let me down
