Darling, there is something I must tell you, you must know   But it's so hard to say the words I feel   This fancy that I'm on has been going on too long   It's time we stopped pretending things are real      'Cause I've been living deep in sin, I've been living blind   And I don't know just what's right or wrong   To take a chance on losing you was such a silly thing to do   The chance I might wake up and find you gone      Blue, so blue, my love is burning blue   Any brighter flame would be a lie   Blue, so blue, my love still burns for you   But I know that I'll only make you cry      A thief can only steal from you, he cannot break your heart   He'll never touch the precious things inside   So one like you should surely be miles and miles away from me   Then you'd never care how much I've lied      So try to understand the pain   It takes so long when I explain   Please, don't you forget how much I've lied
