They sang the blues before there was me before there was you
Don’t cry, don’t shed a single tear for this insignificant pastime
Were just a dot on the plotline
Of centuries
You said this changes everything
But darling what does that mean
Were still the same, its just a game we played with a name
And now were calling it over
They sang the blues before there was me before there was you
Other eyes before us have tried , have whispered and laughed
Have lied to follow the new ones they spied
So don’t flatter yourself
Should I choose to lose sleep or a singular tear
Over you, over you
We haven’t been at all original
They sang the blues before us
Hands have touched and cheeks have blushed and..
I love you has never meant more or less
Though each time we say it
We think we create it
Haven’t you noticed how each love song sounds cliché?
Oh they sang the blues before us
Before you looked my way
Before I ever dreamed about you
Why does love cause delusions of grandeur
When nothing in this world is forever
We think we’ll stay the same
