Baby Blue
Jake Aarons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby blue
Baby blue
Baby blue stars, opening scars
Baby blue home where I'm living alone
Baby blue pills, therapy bills
Baby blue heart is falling apart
All shades of cool are changing
Into one blue baby
It's you
You're changing, you're changing
Baby blue world, it's pretty cold
You're driving a sword
Through my baby blue heart
Baby blue sky is crying tonight
You're driving a knife
Through my baby blue heart
Leaving me bleeding baby blue blood
You're leaving me bleeding baby blue blood
Baby blue
Baby blue
Originated in a den
The melancholy can't be detached
It builds up inside of me
I try to crash it with rage
The lows are so frequent
Still ain't got no highs
And my stomach hurts every time I think about all the times
I wish I'd be different
But we're still the same
I'm sick of playing it cool
Your sweet baby blue
And my baby boy's pain
Baby blue world, it's pretty cold
You're driving a sword
Through my baby blue heart
Baby blue sky is crying tonight
You're driving a knife
Through my baby blue heart
Leaving me bleeding baby blue blood
You're leaving me bleeding baby blue blood
Baby blue
Baby blue
