[Verse 1]
(Soft, intimate, low voice)
Texted you when the night was cold and dark,
Two years gone, yet here I am, still holding on to sparks.
You're probably driving fast, her blue dress in the rearview,
And I'm lost inside this quiet bar, nursing my blue heart for you.
[Pre-Chorus]
(Building tension, slightly higher notes)
I’m standing in the fire, waiting for your call,
Wondering if you remember me at all...
[Chorus]
(Powerful, soaring, long emotional delivery)
Well, I’m burning blue... woooh-oh-oh, burning blue...
My heart’s aflame in shades of you,
Forever burning blue... wooh-oh-oh, burning blue...
[Verse 2]
(Soft, intimate, low voice)
Stayed awake that night you shattered my soul,
Three summers passed but you still haunt my world.
You were my first love, and I was yours too,
I sought closure in your eyes, but goodbye never came through.
[Pre-Chorus]
(Building tension, slightly higher notes)
I’m standing in the fire, hoping you might care,
Calling out your name into the midnight air...
[Chorus]
(Powerful, soaring, long emotional delivery)
Well, I’m burning blue... woooh-oh-oh, burning blue...
My heart’s aflame in shades of you,
Forever burning blue... wooh-oh-oh, burning blue...
[Bridge]
(Emotional, expressive, dynamic build)
It feels blue—the color of your love’s embrace,
The touch that lingers, painting my world in endless space.
I know you’d tear me open just to see if I’m still there,
But all I’m left with is this bleeding blue despair...
[Final Chorus]
(Powerful, soaring, with hopeful lift)
I’m bleeding blue... blue bleeding blue...
But in this pain, I find a light breaking through...
Burning blue... wooh-oh-oh, burning blue...
A heart that’s bruised but still beats true...
