I didn't tell you baby
I didn't even let you know
Baby I lied about my love
Just to let you go

'Cause I really, really loved you
'Cause I really, really loved you

You tried to replace my love
You didn’t fight for us
I saw you fade back then
I saw you break and bend

'Cause you really, really love you
'Cause you really, really love you, love you

You only need me when you're blue
Slowly getting over you
(Slowly getting over you)
All we needed was the truth
All we really had to do

When you're blue
When you're blue

We haven't talked much lately
I know you're not alone
If I could go back in time right now
I wouldn't have played along but

You say he really, really loves you
You say he really, really loves you

And I only hear from you
When you're sad or drunk
Watching you fade right now
I hear your silence loud

'Cause you really, really love you
'Cause you really, really love you

You only need me when you're blue
Slowly getting over you
(slowly getting over you)
All we needed was the truth
All we really had to do

When you're blue
When you're blue

You say you don't want me
Maybe I don't want you
Where were you?
I needed you
You only need me

When you're blue
When you're blue
When you're blue

You only need me when you're blue
Slowly getting over you
(When you're blue)
All we needed was the truth
All we really had to do
