Blue Cocktail

Blue Cocktail Lyrics, J. L. Doucette

Feel so tired heartbroken and wired
Sometimes you try but more times you lie
Running on empty kind of hungry and tempted
A heart up for sale drink a blue cocktail

Then before you know what comes over you
You become a slave to a love you can't save
When she calls your name it makes you want to stay
You'll never be the same if you walk away

You know it's time to leave when it's getting hard to breathe
You'll never get free of that sad love
Leave the gifts and rings and all the other broken things
Laying on the sidetrack the time you won't get back

You leave the other lover while you look for another
You know you still care even though she's not there
And everywhere yo go no matter who you know
It's the heart's black mail drink a blue cocktail

Running for the train you can't go back again
Darkness starts to fall the sound of sadness calls
Alone in the city doesn't matter where it is
After love fails you drink a blue cocktail

You know it's time to leave when it's getting hard to breathe
You never get free of that sad love
Leave the gifts and things and all the other broken things
Laying on the sidetrack the time you won't get back
