The True Blue
Ironic
Silently, I stare at the wall
Wishin' that I was 6 feet tall, yeah
The irony is wasted on those who choose to waste it
What am I talkin' about?
Another night I'd rather be drunk again

Oh, what I would do
To be in your shoes
And to have it my way
'Cause every time that it feels
Like it's turnin' around
It never seems to stay (oh, yeah)

Time & time again
I gotta cover my back
Never ever catchin' my breath
Oh, another day & night
I got a pain in my chest
Dyin' trying to take one step

I was lookin' at myself in the mirror, ooh
No not in the vain kind of way
But to reflect, I wonder how I wound up here
Oh, you tsk & disapprove of it
I'm writin' the story so you can't say shit
By my own device, I think I'm losing my mind
But honey, if they ask I'm fine
Oh, what I would do
To be in your shoes
And to have it my way
'Cause every time that it feels
Like it's turnin' around
It never seems to stay (oh, yeah)

Time & time again
I gotta cover my back
Never ever catchin' my breath
Oh, another day & night
I got a pain in my chest
Dyin' trying to take one step

Oh, they wanna know
How I've been, the way it goes
But you know, I'm the same just like yesterday
Whoa no, just let me be
I'm just trying to live
Won't you let me dream?

Oh, what I would do yeah

Oh, what I would do
To be in your shoes
And to have it my way
'Cause every time that it feels
Like it's turnin' around
It never seems to stay (oh, yeah)
Time & time again
I gotta cover my back
Never ever catchin' my breath
Oh, another day & night
I got a pain in my chest
Dyin' trying to take one
Now watch me take one
