Blue

First Aid Kit

In the morning on the train
You sit and stare at the rain
Or bury yourself in your books
Don't look at no strangers
No, don't give them any looks

Why you ask yourself, why you're so afraid
Why you hesitate when someone asks your name
They'll come too close if you tell them the truth
Who's to say they want something from you

But you're just a shallow
Your former you
That stranger in the mirror
Oh, that's you
Why'd you look so blue?

And the only man you ever loved
You thought was gonna marry you
Died in a car accident when he was only 22
Then you just decided, love wasn't for you
And every year since then
Has proved it to be true

Now you're just a shallow
Your former you
That stranger in the mirror
Oh, that's you
Why'd you look so blue?

Maybe tomorrow you will make a change
Maybe someday soon you will find the strength

Now you're just a shallow
Your former you
That stranger in the mirror
Oh, that's you
Why'd you look so blue?

    Taken from the album insert: In the morning on the train You sit and stare out at the rain Or bury yourself in your books Don’t look at no strangers No, don’t give them any looks But you ask yourself why you’re so afraid Why you hesitate when someone asks your name Like they’ll come too close if you tell them the truth Who’s to say they want something from you But you’re just a shell of your former you That stranger in the mirror, oh, that’s you Why do you look so blue? And the only man you ever loved Who you thought was going to marry you Died in a car accident when he was only twenty two And then you just decided love wasn’t for you And every year since then has proved it to be true Now you’re just a shell of your former you That stranger in the mirror, oh, that’s you Why do you look so blue? Maybe tomorrow you will make a change Maybe someday soon you will find the strength Now you’re just a shell of your former you That stranger in the mirror, oh, that’s you Why do you look so blue?

    Pretty easy song to figure out. Someone who is reluctant to find connection in people ends up finding it and losing it so fast that he/she never wants to try again.
