Intro:
How will it turn out for me?
Will I see the light or will it burn out for me?
Or will I paint you a picture
of darkness, heartless, a slave to the stricture?

Soul blue
when I'm not holdin' you
My soul blue, soul blue
Now I just don't know you
my soul blue, so blue, so true, my soul blue
Soul blue, so blue, so true, my soul blue

Verse 1:
I'm not green with envy
so I don't know why she see's it in me
She only offends me
so I don't know why I'm even friendly
I been through my situ-
-ation, waitin' for a venue
I miss you, I wish you
could face the blame I'm placin' in you
So tell me, is the grass really greener?
On the other side, does some other guy please ya?
It'll freeze you right in your tracks
when a cold-hearted soul puts a knife in your back, like

Hook:
My soul blue

My soul blue, soul blue
Now I just don't know you
My soul blue, so blue, so true, my soul blue
Soul blue, so blue, so true, my soul blue

Verse 2:
So have you red the news?
Headline reads 'every level head lose'
So I'm seein' red
and I'm back on my bullshit, speedin' ahead like...
Like I'm fleein' the feds
wrote a love note in blood to give my ink pen a rest
and she ain't seemin' impressed
though I can grieve with the best
and she ain't even depressed
and I ain't needin' this mess...
Let me catch my breath
'cause I lost it, like her heart when she went to cross it
No promises
Tell me do you really know how hard this is?

(Hook)

Verse 3:
And time just flew by
just like the plane soarin' through the blue sky
Heard she's with a new dude
Got me wonderin' if she blew him too
and it's too much pain now
Runnin' through the streets to lose this rain cloud
I ain't proud, but she is
All chemistry gone and so's the thesis
So I broke to pieces
Kill a rose for each kiss
But like the violets, I'm blue
At least I've got my soul, I couldn't find it in you

(Hook)
