Everything But The Blues

Beverley Craven

You've nothing better than a cliche

For your point of view

You never know the reasons

You just play the rules

No communication

No 'I've been there too'

We don't talk and you say

'Something's changed'

And I guess that much is true

Then you turn around and say

What have I got to lose

I will give you everything but the blues

We're going through the motions

Automatically

But I don't feel the emotions

I'm meant to feel

Now your pride is talking

'Cause everything's been said

You look hurt

And I get so confused

That I end up crying instead

Then you turn around and say

What have I got to lose

I will give you everything but the blues

In my dreams you are never the one

That I run to open-armed

The tears I cry are happiness

'Cause I know we are as one

Then you turn around and say

What have I got to lose

I will give you everything but the blues

I will give you everything

I will give you everything but the blues
