Could you stay long enough for me to say goodbye
You can be free as long as you're with me
If you could see the real me you'd bleed
If you could see the real me I'd breathe
Could you still Breathe long enough for me
Could you still be long enough for me
[Chorus:]
When do you think I'll be okay
When do you think I'll be okay
If I should stay when do I pray
If I should stay where do I begin
Do you think I should watch you die
Should we close our eyes and say goodbye
[Chorus]
Hey you Miss Blue
You think that I'm well to do
Hey you Miss Blue
I feel in love with you
Hey you Miss Blue
I think about you as true
Hey you Miss Blue
I hate it when you cry
Hey you Miss Blue
I hate it when you say goodbye
Hey you Miss Blue
I hate it when you say goodbye
[Chorus]
You say goodbye
You say goodbye yeah
Don't say goodbye
Say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goddbye...
You can be free as long as you're with me
If you could see the real me you'd bleed
If you could see the real me I'd breathe
Could you still Breathe long enough for me
Could you still be long enough for me
When do you think I'll be okay
When do you think I'll be okay
If I should stay where do I begin
Do you think I should watch you die
Should we close our eyes and say goodbye
You think that I'm well to do
Hey you Miss Blue
I feel in love with you
Hey you Miss Blue
I think about you as true
Hey you Miss Blue
I hate it when you cry
Hey you Miss Blue
I hate it when you say goodbye
Hey you Miss Blue
I hate it when you say goodbye
You say goodbye yeah
Don't say goodbye
Say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goddbye...

I agree with X2, but I wanted to add that the last 1:12 where Richard (and possibly the rest of the band) is being goofy, making strange was hilarious (for those who aren't patient enough to listen to the last 13 empty minutes of the song)
According to Wikipedia, this was rumoured to have been written about D'Arcy Wretzky, who at the time was about to leave the Smashing Pumpkins. No source though. I find this rumour interesting. Does anyone have any more info on it...?
Richard Patrick the bands front man has said it's about a passionate relationship he had with Smashing Pumpkins guitarist D'arcy Wretzky. She was married at the time but in an open marriage type situation.
Also, you could say: "Hey you, MISTER blue"...
I think this song might be about watching someone you love slowly die

the best part about this song is the last minute and a half.
"I, I, I dropped some beer, and it, it, spilt the, the, out the window..."
hilarious.
D'Arcy dated the lead singer of Filter so it pretty much explains it all there
Interesting. As a teenager, I thought it was about suicide. As an adult, I just thought it was about death in general. I haven't heard the D'Arcy idea before, but it would be interesting if it's true.
