FIRST AID KIT - Blue

In the morning on the train
Sitting and staring at the rain
Or bury yourself in your books
Don’t look at no strangers, no don’t give them any looks 

Well you ask yourself why you’re so afraid
Why you hesitate when someone asks your name
But they’ll come too close if you tell them the truth
Who is to say they want something from you?

Well you’re just a shell of your former youth
That stranger in the mirror, oh, that’s you
Why do you look so blue?

Then the only man you ever loved
He thought was going to marry you
Died in a car accident when he was only twenty-two
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 youth
That stranger in the mirror, oh, that’s you
Why do you look so blue?

Maybe tomorrow you will make a change
Maybe some day soon you will find the strength

Now you’re just a shell of your former youth
That stranger in the mirror, oh, that’s you
Why do you look so blue?
