Always Had the Blues

I don't care if you're young and pretty

That's just youth and good genes

I don't care if you're big in the city

Nothing at all is what that means

I don't care if you think I'm ruthless

I've got no more sleep to lose

I don't care what you think the truth is

I have always had the blues

I may seem content

I seethe and I resent

I have always had the blues

Smiling ear to ear

Bitterness and fear

I have always had the blues

Being loved is overrated

But sometimes one cannot refuse

Only hate is reciprocated

I have always had the blues

I may seem content

I seethe and I resent

I have always had the blues

Smiling ear to ear

Bitterness and fear

I have always had the blues

I don't care if you're like a flower

You do not have what I need

I don't want your healing power

All I want to do is bleed

I may seem content

I seethe and I resent

I have always had the blues

Smiling ear to ear

Bitterness and fear

I have always had the blues
