Suicide Blues

There’s tears in my eyes,
I pretend I’m not crying.
All around this world,
there are people out there dying.
Some are doing their best,
whilst others aren’t even trying.
But there’s nothing I can do,
cos I’ve got the suicide blues over you.

I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues over you.

We’re all just standing around,
we’re not even talking.
Some are trying to run,
Some aren’t even walking.
One day it’ll all be different,
when we’re the ones doing all the waiting,
and we know what it’s like,
to do a whole lot of hating.
You might not believe it but I know that it’s true,
cos I’ve got the suicide blues over you.

I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues over you.

I just wish you could feel,
the way I think of you.
I just wish you could see me,
from a different point of view.
If things were different,
I wouldn’t feel as bad as I do,
cos I’ve got the suicide blues over you.

I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues over you.

I got so much feeling,
I got a love so very strong.
I was born in this world,
somehow; I gotta carry on.
I’ve been to so many places,
I haven’t found any place I belong.

the sky is full of clouds -it looks so blue,
cos I’ve got the suicide blues over you.

I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues over you.

I was lucky to be born in your world,
in the very same year.
How strange you’ve gone so far,
when you feel so near.
I’ll never think of you
without shedding a tear.
but I know - there is nothing I can do,
cos I got the suicide blues over you.

I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues over you.

I was fortunate by birth,
but I wasn’t lucky as such.
All of this feeling,
it’s just hurting too much.
I always hoped I could reach out,
and you’d be there to touch.
but there was nothing anyone could do,
when I got the suicide blues over you.

I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues over you.

I thought there was nothing
that could make me more sad.
then someone told me,
you were suffering real bad.
I was wounded when I heard you’d been taken
that very day all my dreams fell through,
cos I got the suicide blues over you.

I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues over you.

I’ve lived my life just dreaming,
of something that could never be.
In jail forever,
trapped emotionally.
I could never escape,
I could never break free.
I suppose you never guessed,
what you really meant to me.
I could never have you,
I know that it’s true.
but I’ll always have;
the suicide blues over you.

I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues over you.

One time I thought,
at sometime or other.
your memory might fade,
that I might one day recover.
but things only get harder,
all the time I think of you.
sometimes I wonder,
how will I get through.
cos I got the suicide blues over you.

I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues over you.

Now I face the future,
I know I gotta keep learning.
I just try real hard,
but I cannot stop all this yearning.
Sometimes I wonder,
if there is anything I could do?
to change the way I’m suffering,
all the suicide blues over you.

I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues over you.

I’d like to change the lives we both live
I’d like to set us both free.
Maybe that would change,
the way you think of me.
Perhaps I’ll reach you,
if you can wait a while.
Maybe I could win your heart,
if I could one day make you smile.

but then what am I to do?
cos I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues over you.

No amount of pain can hurt me,
the way I'm hurting for you.
deep down inside,
I am bleeding for you.
There are times when I think,
I will never make it through.
how do you know these words are true?

cos I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues over you.

It all seems so crazy -you bring such happiness
and cause so much pain.
it's all I can do,
not to call out your name.
It seems so crazy,
the woman I love makes me feel so blue.
but I’m afraid that it’s true.

cos I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues,
I got the suicide blues over you.
