Blue Enough (to Sing the Blues)

Blue Enough (to Sing the Blues)
by Jesse Daniel Edwards
ASCAP

when I broke my finger in the door
when I slipped in the pool of blood on the floor
that door and that floor were both yours
You assured a drowning man you'd be true
I held my breath at the bottom of the pool for you
like a fool I keep jumping at the postman's knock at half past four

I'm finally heartbroken enough
I've finally lost it all enough
I've been beaten down and beaten up by Love
a time or two
and I'm finally blue enough
to sing the blues

when you blew the credit card on a one way ride
left the Hyundai to die, parked on I-65
that broke down car, broke credit card, and broken heart were mine
you assured me he was just a friend
you assured him I wouldn't be home till ten
like a fool I brought a dozen roses home early what a fine surprise
