Guess it Was the Blues

Together on the one
Played til I lost sight of me
I waited with my trust
Alone on every harmony

Too many rhymes were lost
Forever when you changed the scheme
My words would all be tossed
You left me with no line to lead

I used to say I've heard this one before
Now every time I try, I can't recall the score

You're the song I can't remember
The chords that I once knew
The melody escapes me
'Cause the words you sang weren't true
If hindsight leaves me wiser
After all that we've been through
It wasn't jazz or pop or soul or rock and roll
I guess it was the blues

Could've started on the same page
And traded lust for honesty
Made it sound like you wouldn't change
So where's that song you promised me?

Silent screams, your lies between
I could never be sure
The needle raised, the record strayed
And shattered on the floor

You're the song I can't remember
The chords that I once knew
The melody escapes me
'Cause the words you sang weren't true
If hindsight leaves me wiser
After all that we've been through
It wasn't jazz or pop or soul or rock and roll
I guess it was the blues

Just a shade below the truth
In the chords you'll find the hue

You're the song I can't remember
The chords that I once knew
The melody escapes me
'Cause the words you sang weren't true
If hindsight leaves me wiser
After all that we've been through
It wasn't jazz or pop or soul or rock and roll
I guess it was the blues
