blue

I learned to swim all by myself

Too young to never ask for help

From then 'til forever

It's the cold that keeps me warm at night

'Cause the blue of my mother has always been my color

The love that I offer is deep and out of tune

But you hold me 'cause you know me

All that I can do is turn a lighter shade of blue

I wear my shadow like a dress

I'm not afraid of loneliness

I'm older now, it's colder out

Can I run into your arms at night?

'Cause the blue of my mother has always been my color

The love that I offer is deep and out of tune

But you hold me 'cause you know me

All that I can do is turn a lighter shade of blue

A lighter shade of blue

I used to hide my broken side

Now I wear it on my sleeve

And each day, I get better

Well, that's what I believe

I hope in time you'll see

That the blue of my mother has always been my color

The love that I offer is deep and out of tune

But you hold me 'cause you know me

All that I can do is turn a lighter shade of blue

A lighter shade of blue

A lighter shade of blue
