I learned to swim all by myself
Too young to never ask for help
From then 'til forever
It's the cold that keeps me warm at night
'Cause the blue of my mother has always been my color
The love that I offer is deep and out of tune
But you hold me 'cause you know me
All that I can do is turn a lighter shade of blue
I wear my shadow like a dress
I'm not afraid of loneliness
I'm older now, it's colder out
Can I run into your arms at night?
'Cause the blue of my mother has always been my color
The love that I offer is deep and out of tune
But you hold me 'cause you know me
All that I can do is turn a lighter shade of blue
A lighter shade of blue
I used to hide my broken side
Now wear it on my sleeve
And each day I get better, well that's what I believe
I hope in time you'll see
That the blue of my mother has always been my color
The love that I offer is deep and out of tune
But you hold me 'cause you know me
All that I can do is turn a lighter shade of blue
A lighter shade of blue
A lighter shade of blue
