“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
I could walk a million miles
Suffer freezing rain and failure
It's familiar
This time you have gone too far
Stole my memories and teardrops
Now it all stops
Old truths have taken shape
They've formed themselves inside your landscape
And now I'm a million miles from home
I don't know
Still I can see so clearly
I don't care
Suffer sacrifice in vain
Keep my endless pain inside me
It's colliding
Still you've got no choice at all
Make a choice before your world stops
Before your smile drops
You make the same mistake again
Did you think i'd really buy it?
Couldn't you try it?
There's no one here in your defense
Know your lying don't make sense?
Are you getting tense?
Suffer freezing rain and failure
It's familiar
This time you have gone too far
Stole my memories and teardrops
Now it all stops
Old truths have taken shape
They've formed themselves inside your landscape
And now I'm a million miles from home
I don't know
Still I can see so clearly
I don't care
Suffer sacrifice in vain
Keep my endless pain inside me
It's colliding
Still you've got no choice at all
Make a choice before your world stops
Before your smile drops
You make the same mistake again
Did you think i'd really buy it?
Couldn't you try it?
There's no one here in your defense
Know your lying don't make sense?
Are you getting tense?

This song got me into Jawbreaker because I first heard a cover of it by Bob Nanna's old band Friction and loved it so much I had to find out who this "Jawbreaker" band was. Ooh baby did I ever fall in love.
