I don't care if you're young and pretty
That's just youth and good genes
I don't care if you're big in the city
Nothing at all is what that means
I don't care if you think I'm ruthless
I've got no more sleep to lose
I don't care what you think the truth is
I have always had the blues

I may seem content
I seethe and I resent
I have always had the blues
Smiling ear to ear
Bitterness and fear
I have always had the blues

Being loved is overrated
But sometimes one cannot refuse
Only hate is reciprocated
I have always had the blues

I may seem content
I seethe and I resent
I have always had the blues
Smiling ear to ear
Bitterness and fear
I have always had the blues

I don't care if you're like a flower
You do not have what I need
I don't want your healing power
All I want to do is bleed

I may seem content
I seethe and I resent
I have always had the blues
Smiling ear to ear
Bitterness and fear
I have always had the blues
