Blue Period - The Smithereens, Belinda Carlisle

Blue period, black comedy

Such a joke I’ve played on me

I let you go

And now I know a world of uncertainty

Now I think about the days

When I let you down in so many ways

That’s the time I want to cry

And the time I wonder why and pray

My apathy is tragedy

I’m content to stay inside

This emptiness is killing me

I can run but I can’t hide

And you loved me all along

When I always did you wrong

That’s the time I can’t forget

And it fills me with regret always

When you think that you have won

Then your heartache’s just begun

Blue period, black comedy

Love’s a clown, now laugh my way

I think of you

Much more than I’d ever be willing to say

Now I don’t want to pretend

I was glad to see us ending this way

That’s the time I want to cry

And the time I wonder why and pray

Blue period, I’m looking for someone who

Is just like you, to help end this blue period
