Everything but the blues

You've nothing better than a cliche
For your point of view
You never know the reasons
You just play the rules
No communication
No 'I've been there too'
We don't talk and you say
'Something's changed'
And I guess that much is true

Then you turn around and say
What have I got to lose
I will give you everything but the blues

We're going through the motions
Automatically
But I don't feel the emotions
I'm meant to feel
Now your pride is talking
'Cos everything's been said
You look hurt
And I get so confused
That I end up crying instead

Then you turn around and say
What have I got to lose
I will give you everything but the blues

In my dreams you are never the one
That I run to open-armed
The tears I cry are happiness
'Cos I know we are as one

Then you turn around and say
What have I got to lose
I will give you everything but the blues
I will give you everything
I will give you everything but the blues
