Verse 1
Used to be so easy to give my heart away. But I found out the hard way, there's
a price you have to pay.
V2
I found out that love, is no friend of mine. But I should've known time after
time.
Chorus:
So long it was so long ago, but I still got the blues for you.
V3
Used to be so easy to fall in love again. But I found out the hard way, it's
a road that leads to pain.
V4
But I found that love was more than just a game, You're playin' to win but you
lose just the same.
repeat chorus.
Bridge:
So many years since I've seen your face, but hear in my heart there's an empty
space where you used to be.
Repeat chorus.
ALternate chorus:
Though the days come and go, there is one thing I know, I still got the blues
for you.
