Born To Be Blue


Verse 1

Happiness is fiction

When all you've known is sadness

Smiling is possible

Only when it's forced

Laughter is poisonous 

When you're subjected to ridicule

It's the only thing you hear

As you replay it in your mind


Verse 2

Love is over-rated

When you're indifferent to it

Joy is just another word

When it's not felt

There's no such thing as kindness

When you want something in return

Promises do not exist

When lying is the norm


Bridge 

This is not a dream

It's as real as it gets

You feel low each and every day

Pain is the only thing you've known


Chorus 1

You were born to be blue

A state of mind that is permanent

You were born to be blue

A way of life that is unchanging

Born to be blue


Chorus 2

You were born to be blue

A state of mind that is permanent

You were born to be blue

A way of life that is unchanging

You were born to be blue

You had no say in the matter

You were born to be blue

It's the only thing you know how to do

You were born to be blue

I feel like I am just like you

I, too, am blue
