Black & Blue

When I first met you I was blue

When I first met you I was green and so were you

Those early days when everything felt right

How was I supposed to know the future wasn't bright?

I still remember your first lies

Those yellow stories made me feel black inside

And I imagined when you called me from his bed

Your lips oh so red as you turned around and said

'Oh don't say good bye I only told you white lies'

No I would never lie to you

I only hurt you cos my heart was black and blue

A fine performance by the girl who always knew how to fake it

I remember golden leaves

Turning brown as I went down on one knee

Almost blue that little diamond ring

We were in the Autumn pretending it was spring

But in the end I let it go

There's just no point in chasing a rainbow

And looking back I guess that you could say

I lost a lot of green but gained a little grey

'Oh don't say good bye I only told you white lies'

No I would never lie to you

I only hurt you cos my heart was black and blue

A fine performance by the girl who always knew

How to fake it in the way that some girls do
