lyrics

Compare Your Blues

Compare your blues against the sky’s
There’s boredom in your lonely eyes
Even when you’re in disguise
You’re obvious to all

Cold rain, cracked cement
Broken words are all you get
When your soul is going up for rent
It’s hard to make the call

But I love you so dear, so dear
Just don’t tell me what you’ve done this time

It’s hard to look when you can’t see
Hard to leave when you can’t breath
The joker hiding up your sleeve
Is gonna laugh in your face

The words you said didn’t come out right
You blinked at the first hint of light
But if you lose your heart, you lose the fight
To finish out the race

But I love you so dear, so dear
Just don’t tell me what you’ve done this time
Just don’t tell me what you’ve done this time

Lately, I have had enough
Tire of losing for your love

Say goodnight to your blues
There’s comfort in your flying shoes
Search the back of your eyes for clues
Then tell me what you see

Is it rope a dope or another scheme?
Are the colors vivid in your dreams?
If you play with fire, you end up mean
So what’s it gonna be?

But I love you so dear, so dear
Just don’t tell me what you’ve done this time
Just don’t tell me what you’ve done this time
Just don’t tell me what you’ve done this time
This time, this time
