[Verse 1]
Thought of it once or twice
When I was shedding my tender skin
Always one for advice
I kept a record of my wanderin'
It was pulling the pin
Out of all my alibis
[Bridge]
(Oh baby, oh baby, it's true)
Get my head an*lyzed
(Oh baby, oh baby, I'm blue)
[Verse 2]
I would've settled right down in the ash
A grey bed for pity and scorn
But you said it'd never last
Only dazed and a little worn
[Verse 3]
Poet wants to write me down
Touch his sonnet to my burning lips
I promised I'd breathe it out
I don't deserve it
At the bottom of the pit
I could feel you pa**ing over
[Bridge]
(Oh baby, oh baby, it's true)
See my hands growing older?
(Oh baby, oh baby, I'm blue)
[Verse 4]
But the change is a change you see
Not at heartbeat, flutter and sigh
Rooted in a water deep
Cut me loose as you float by
[Bridge]
(Oh baby, oh baby, it's true)
Got my head an*lyzed
(Oh baby, oh baby, I'm blue)
[Verse 5]
Write it off
Hang it up in the past
We're still under the gun
Another side of the gla**
We'd be living in london
