Eric Clapton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought you were the one who'd stay forever
But now forever has come and gone
And I'm still here alone
'Cause you were only playing
You were only playing with my heart
I was never waiting
It was you (it was you) who put the clouds around me
It was you (it was you) who made the tears fall down
It was you (it was you) who broke my heart in pieces
It was you, it was you who made my blue eyes blue
Oh, I never should've trusted you
I thought that I'd be all you need
In your eyes I thought I saw my heaven
And now my heaven's gone away
And I'm out in the cold
'Cause you had me believing
You had me believing in a lie
Guess I couldn't see it
I guess I couldn't see it 'til I saw good-bye
It was you (it was you) who put the clouds around me
It was you (it was you) who made the tears fall down
It was you (it was you) who broke my heart in pieces
It was you, it was you who made my blue eyes blue
Oh, I never should've trusted you
'Cause you were only playing
You were only playing with my heart
I was never waiting
I was never waiting for the tears to start
It was you who put the clouds around me
It was you, it was you (it was you) who put those clouds around me
It was you (it was you) who made the tears fall down
Only you (only you) who broke my heart in pieces
It was you, it was you who made my blue eyes blue
Oh, I never should've trusted you
Oh, I never should've trusted you
Oh, I never should've trusted you
Oh, I never should've trusted you
The lyrics of "Blue Eyes Blue" by Eric Clapton tackle the hurtful realization of being betrayed and deceived by a lover. The song expresses the pain and anguish felt after realizing that the relationship one has invested time, effort, and emotion into was nothing but a lie. The singer mourns the loss of a relationship that he had thought would last forever but was abruptly broken by the deceitful actions of his significant other. The clouds around him signify the sadness and bitterness that he experienced after discovering the betrayal, and the tears that fall down represent the pain and heartache caused by the betrayal.
The chorus repeats the accusatory and mournful sentiments towards the person who has caused the pain, emphasizing that the cause of the hurting and the subsequent tragic effect is solely the fault of the person he trusted. The singer regrets ever trusting the person and wishes he could have seen the deception earlier to avoid the intense heartbreak he now experiences.
Overall, the song speaks to the universal experience of heartbreak and betrayal in a relationship. It captures the feelings of anger, sadness, and betrayal that come with discovering a lie in a relationship.

I thought that you'd be loving me
I had the expectation that you would love me
I thought you were the one who'd stay forever
I believed that you were the person who would remain with me for eternity
But now forever has come and gone
However, forever has passed, and it did not last
And I'm still here alone
And currently, I am isolated and without companionship
'Cause you were only playing
It is due to the fact that you were just toying with me
You were only playing with my heart
You were only manipulating my emotions
I was never waiting
I was never waiting for anything in particular
I was never waiting for the tears to start
I did not expect to cry in the future
It was you (it was you) who put the clouds around me
You were the one responsible for causing sadness in my life
It was you (it was you) who made the tears fall down
You were the one who caused my eyes to produce tears
It was you (it was you) who broke my heart in pieces
You were the one who shattered my heart into fragments
It was you, it was you who made my blue eyes blue
You were responsible for causing my eyes to become blue from tears
Oh, I never should've trusted you
I regret putting my faith in you
I thought that I'd be all you need
I assumed that I would meet all of your requirements
In your eyes I thought I saw my heaven
I believed that I had found my paradise in your gaze
And now my heaven's gone away
However, my euphoria has now departed
And I'm out in the cold
And now, I am alone in the wilderness
You had me believing
You successfully convinced me
You had me believing in a lie
You persuaded me to believe in something that was not true
Guess I couldn't see it
I suppose that I was unable to perceive the truth
I guess I couldn't see it 'til I saw good-bye
I did not realize it until we parted ways
Only you (only you) who broke my heart in pieces
It was solely your actions that caused my heart to break into fragments
Oh, I never should've trusted you
I regret putting my faith in you

And I'm out in the cold
Cause you had me believing
You had me believing in a lie
Guess I couldn't see it
Guess I couldn't see it 'til I saw "Good-bye"
It was you who put the clouds around me
It was you who made the tears fall down
It was you who broke my heart in pieces
It was, it was you who made my blue eyes blue
Oh, I never should've trusted you
Cause you were only playing,
You were only playing with my heart.
I was never waiting, I was never waiting for the tears to start.
It was you who put the clouds around me.
It was you who, it was you who put those clouds around me.
It was you who made the tears fall down.
Only you, who broke my heart in pieces.
It was you, it was you who made my blue eyes blue.
Oh, I never should've trusted you. [Repeat x4]
