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 molten out, 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 I wear it on my sleeve And each day, I get better And that's when I believe And 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
