“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.
From day to day I know that I'm in all of your conversations
You never have anything good to say about me
That's ok cause everyone's entitled to their own opinions
'Cause everyone's a critic, and even on your best days
Someone's got something bad to say
Yet I ignore the things I hear, ignore the things I fear
And look past all that tries to bring me down
And I know that I don't have much I
Sacrifice a good life while I watch these bills keep adding
Up and I know that I'm not getting any younger as another
Year passes by
I have to stop and wonder
If it's all really worth the struggle
Or that mirage of light I keep chasing at the end of the tunnel
Will get any brighter
Or will it just fade away the closer I get, the further it seems
From reaching my dreams
And I just don't know how much more I can
Take before I give up and throw it all away
When push comes to shove
You gotta hold on , you gotta be strong
And look for that light from above
Cause everyone's out to bring you down
And if you can't keep your head up
Then your lost
I've seen better days been told better ways
How to live and how to give, it's relative
I walk with sedatives it's hell I live
And home is sweet, I'm killing myself softly
My reflections show deep infections
It's hard to be, I look at myself, I look at this life
And all I feel is pain, god help me start again
I gotta keep on, I gotta keep on pushin' cause I
Some how some way keep comin' up short
Like everyday my minds playin' tricks on me
Everybody loves sunny days but I prefer
Grey ones and long nights because when the
Day comes, it's just another 24 and I'm still numb
Not so young I know what it takes, they say
Roll with the brakes and slip them ties with the fakes
I still get them shakes just thinkin' bout this
Ish right here two dub two maybe this gonna be
That year
Everyone has to pay a price no matter what we sacrifice
I hope it's worth it nothing is for certain
You never have anything good to say about me
That's ok cause everyone's entitled to their own opinions
'Cause everyone's a critic, and even on your best days
Someone's got something bad to say
Yet I ignore the things I hear, ignore the things I fear
And look past all that tries to bring me down
And I know that I don't have much I
Sacrifice a good life while I watch these bills keep adding
Up and I know that I'm not getting any younger as another
Year passes by
I have to stop and wonder
If it's all really worth the struggle
Or that mirage of light I keep chasing at the end of the tunnel
Will get any brighter
Or will it just fade away the closer I get, the further it seems
From reaching my dreams
And I just don't know how much more I can
Take before I give up and throw it all away
When push comes to shove
You gotta hold on , you gotta be strong
And look for that light from above
Cause everyone's out to bring you down
And if you can't keep your head up
Then your lost
I've seen better days been told better ways
How to live and how to give, it's relative
I walk with sedatives it's hell I live
And home is sweet, I'm killing myself softly

I cant believe no one commented on this song yet! Its fucking great! You got to love this guys fucking vocals! So anyways... I think this song is about a guy that has no social life and is socially a loser. And everyone brings him down because everyone sees the weakness in him. In the begining of the song He likes this girl, but she feels he is a loser, and he chases the light and wonders if its worth chasing it anymore. He has low self estem and trys to bring it back up and asks god himself to start over to undo the mistakes of his social life. He probally stays home and wonders all the time about the light.
I can really relate to this fucking song. Im socially a loser. But who the fuck cares. Do you care??? No! I liked this girl, and I told her how I felt. I mean I really told her how I felt! She never told me I was a loser or anything, but she really never told me anything. I felt like shit. I tried to chase her like he is chasing the light in the song. But sometimes its not worth it. I think of suicide as a way out. But I would never do that. I dont recomend suicide to anyone. Life is so beatiful. You will get downfalls in life. But you got to pick them up. I hate to see people commit suicide over girls and shit. Fuck them, is that bitch really worth your life!!! HELL NO!!!! There is a sea of bitches! Your mind loves to trick you into bad shit! But you got to be stronger than the mind itself. If you every need someone to talk to. Email me! I will listen and help you guys out! Cause I care!
