Your heart says yes but your head says no
And you’re tangled up in doubt
You wanna cry, scream n’ shout, let go
That’s what the blues is all about
Life’s been so hard and you’re scattered to the wind
There’s no turning away from the night
Where do you start to begin
When you’re falling like a shadow in the light
Tougher than the tears you cry
Harder than the heartbreak in your heart
Love is gonna tell you goodbye, yeah
And the blues is gonna tear you all apart
Sometimes you wake and the dream is real
And your yesterday’s all gone by
Caught up in the heartache you feel
And trapped by the danger of the fight
Silenced by the sadness of your pain, oh Lord
And broken by the fear of your doubt
Wishing you could start all over again
That is what the blues, that is what the blues is all about
Oh, tougher than the tears you cry
Harder than the heartbreak in your heart
Love is gonna tell you goodbye
And the blues is gonna tear you all apart
Silenced by the sadness of your pain
And broken by the fear of your doubt
Wishing you could start all over again
Now that is what the blues, that is what the blues is all about…all about
Now that is what the blues, that is what the blues is all about
