Baby Blue
Smith and Jones Lyrics

They say love is a drug
Love has a powerful grip on us, like a drug that can consume us

Love can conquer the hate
Love has the ability to overcome negative emotions like hate and anger

We go back and forth in the court all day
We argue and fight endlessly without resolution

Only thing I can say
I have nothing else to add

I wish we could stop the fighting, its frightening to see
It is scary to witness the constant conflict and I wish we could find a way to stop

What we do to the kids
Our actions and behavior have an impact on our children

They the ones who gotta live with the consequences
Our children are the ones who have to deal with the long-term impacts of our actions

That we give to 'em
The consequences that we pass on to them

And expect them to find love on their own
We leave our children to find their own sense of love and connection, despite our own failures in this area

Come from a broken home
Our family structure is flawed and fractured

Like everything's normal
We try to pretend that everything is okay, even when it is not

This is my heart forgive
I am sharing my innermost feelings and asking for forgiveness

Me for leaving you when you needed me
I am apologizing for being absent when you needed me the most

I was bleeding on the inside
I was hurting emotionally and struggling internally

But I'm out of hiding now
I am no longer hiding my feelings and emotions

I swallow my pride just trying to reconcile
I am putting my ego aside in order to make things right between us

So I want you to know
I want to express to you

You inspire my soul
Your presence and love bring me great inspiration and hope

Without you there was no
If you were not in my life

Hope for me in this home
I had no source of light or positivity in our relationship

Cause when I'm with you
Because when I am in your presence

There ain't nothing that I can't do (yeah)
I feel incredibly powerful and capable of anything

Baby its true
It is a genuine feeling

When I'm without you, I feel so blue, so blue
When you are not around, I feel incredibly sad and down

Feel my heart in my chest
I am deeply in touch with my emotions and feelings

Beating never can rest
My heart is constantly active and engaged

With you I'm in a blissful state
I feel incredibly happy and content when I am with you

Like meditating on a cloud surrounded by a simple fate
I am at peace and in harmony with my surroundings

I'm grateful for your love
I appreciate and cherish your love

You showed me the way
You guided and mentored me in a positive direction

Now I use everything that you gave
I am utilizing all the wisdom, knowledge, and love that you have bestowed on me

It won't go to waste
I will not squander or misuse the gifts that you have given me

Funny thing about love
Love has a peculiar and unpredictable nature

It can't always stay
Love is not always permanent

You were only here with me a moment
Our time together was brief

Then you fade away
Your love and presence eventually dissipated

I'll never forget you til' the day I die
I will always remember you, even when I am gone

Still I cry
I still feel great sadness and loss

Wonder if in different lives
I often imagine what it would be like in alternate realities or timelines

We don't have to say goodbye
Perhaps we will not have to part ways in the future

But for now this pain I write
However, for the time being, I am expressing my pain and heartache through my writing
