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
