I’m Not Blue Because
of You
By Alfreda Henry
I’m not blue because
of you
My world has always
slanted gray
I’m not blue because
of you
Maybe I was born this
way
It might appear when
you’re near
The sun shines brighter
everyday
I’m not sure if it
was clear
That I needed you to
stay
When I was searching
for a friend
I found a friend in
you
I certainly know the
clouds moved in
As they often do
A lie of omission is
still a lie
No matter how sweetly
said
I can swim in
perdition of whys
But I can’t unmake
that bed
I’m not blue because
of you
My world has always
slanted gray
I’m not blue because
of you
Maybe I was born this
way
Loves' dance can be
complex when the music’s off-key
The drummer played different
beats when it came down to you and me
Loves’ dance can be
complex when the music’s off-key
The drummer played different
beats when it came down to you and me
I’m not blue because
of you
My world has always
slanted gray
I’m not blue because
of you
Maybe I was born this
way
