Blue period, black comedy   Such a joke I've played on me   I let you go   And now I know a world of uncertainty      Now I think about the days   When I let you down in so many ways   That's the time I want to cry   And the time I wonder why and pray      My apathy is tragedy   I'm content to stay inside   This emptiness is killing me   I can run but I can't hide      And you loved me all along   When I always did you wrong   That's the time I can't forget   And it fills me with regret always      when you think that you have won   Then your heartache's just begun      Blue period, black comedy   Love's a clown, now laugh my way   I think of you   Much more than I'd ever be willing to say      Now I don't want to pretend   I was glad to see us ending this way   That's the time I want to cry   And the time I wonder why and pray      Blue period, I'm looking for someone who   Is just like you, to help end this blue period
