Blue (Live In China) Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, ooh

[Verse 1]
(Blue)
Everyday, it seems my smile’s a little harder
And everyday, I seem to laugh a little less
(Blue)
Living this way, it seems my sky’s a little darker
You went away, and left me lonely in success

[Chorus]
Can’t you see me falling apart?
Ooh, whoa
Can’t you see me falling apart?
Can’t you see?
Can’t you see me falling apart?
Oh, whoa, ooh, whoa
Can’t you see me falling apart?
Can’t you see what’s happening to me?

[Verse 2]
(Blue)
Take this hand, and show my fingers where my heart is
Understand, you may just save me from despair, oh
(Blue)
Watch this man, you’ll see he can’t stop what he started
Take this hand, you’ll see right now, there’s no one there
[Chorus]
Can’t you see me falling apart?
Whoa, you laugh at me as I fall
Can’t you see me falling apart?
Just tell me, tell me, give me one good reason

[Hook]
Armed with love, I could save my heart
But on my own I just can’t make it
I’m too weak to fight, so take it
Armed with love, I could save my heart
But instead, I watch it die
Armed with love, I could save my heart
But on my own, I just can’t make it
I’m too weak to fight, so take it
Armed with love, I could save my heart
But instead, I watch it die, whoa, ooh!

[Chorus]
Can’t you see me falling apart?
(Woo, yeah) Can’t you see me falling apart?
Tell me why, why, why
Can’t you see me falling apart?
Mm, whoa, whoa
Can’t you see me falling apart?
Whoa
Can’t you see me falling apart?
Can’t you see me falling apart?
Woo, whoa
Can’t you see me falling apart?
Oh, ooh
Can’t you see me falling apart?
Can’t you see? Can’t you see?
Can’t you see me? Oh, oh
[Hook]
Armed with love, I could save my heart
But on my own I just can’t make it
I’m too weak to fight, so take it
Armed with love, I could save my heart
Tell me why am I so blue, oh
Armed with love, I could save my heart
But on my own, I just can’t make it
I’m too weak to fight, so take it, woo oh
Tell me why, why, why am I so blue

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
