Guess That's How It Is

(Jenny Detra)
December 6, 2005
My morning coffee is bitter and cold
My eyes in the mirror
look way too old
I drag my shoes on and stand to face one more long day
I want to climb back into bed
Pull the covers round my head
I can't forget the things you said
Guess thats how it is with the blues

The drive to work takes way too long
Too much time for thinking wrong
Staying busy, well its my only saving grace
From nine to five I do alright
But I get lonely late at night
I'd give my soul to hold you tight
Guess that's how it is with the blues

My heart is so broken I dont see how it is ever
ever gonna mend
All the words have been spoken, but I still can't believe it's the end

Sometimes in the evening
I drive by your place
Longing for just one look at your face
It may be over, but honey
Its only over for you
I breathe in the t-shirt
You left behind
I stare at your picture
I loose my mind
Oh I wish I could stop crying
Guess thats how it is with the blues

My heart is so broken
I don't see how it is ever ever gonna mend
All the words have been spoken
But I still can't believe its the end

Oh I'm doing all I can do
But I'm just barely making it through
Guess thats how it is
Thats just how it is
When you've got the blues
