Boney has the blues

I woke up this fine morning then went

outside and played in snow

Boney has the blues

I fell in a mountain of snow

I thought I was dead

Boney has the blues
Boney has the blues

I dug my way out

My hands are frozen

Boney has the blues

Boney has the blue

I see everything but no one sees my blues. Am sick of the same old story. I observe around me. But am sick of the old story. Wind pass feeling the cold breeze. Am so sick of the same old stories. People ignore me like a wall. I see everything but no one sees my blues. Like wind and dust. Here and there.

I went to the store but it was closed I got irritated, I hate when I don’t get my way,

I love the sunning bloom, I love the smell of the nice beautiful roses,

I love the scented ocean when air strikes, the bloom of the roses is amazing.

Family problems get me down

These days the blues just seem to follow me around

Oh I get the blues

These days the blues just seem to follow me around

Covid on the streets

Oh I get the blues

These days the blues just seem to follow me around

Happy to go to the pool in my backyard on a hot summer day. Rain comes in and takes it all away.

Oh baby I got the Blues

Hoping our team would win the game. Losing by a run and they lost the game.

Oh baby I got the Blues

Playing Minecraft running around trying to protect the village. Making a mistake and not running back when I couldn’t handle it and DIED.

Oh baby I got the Blues

I was going to say something really funny. Then I forget that funny thing I was about to say.

Oh baby I got the Blues

Was going to watch my favorite series the internet went out and now were stuck.

Watching a youtube video phone dies when I was going to watch the youtuders new video.

Oh baby I got the Blues

I was feeling tired as ever. When I went to bed I was not able to sleep.

Oh baby I got the Blues

Talking to my friends. When I moved my arm to fast and didn’t see where I hit it so hard.

Oh baby I got the Blues

Doing homework lots and lots so much I needed I break. As I was going to save I made a mistake and didn’t save…

Oh baby I got the Blues

Every day I have the Blues when I have to do chores.

Every day I have the blues when I have to get all the fault of something.

Every day I have the blues when I get sick.

Every day I have the Blues when I have to cook.

Every day I have the blues when I have to clean up my room.

An injured heart and a broken dream.

I tried to bring it back but it’s fallen completely apart.

Put on a mask and lets us have one last chat.

Forgive my truthful lies.

Without emotion…without devotion,

It’s much easier to fake something happy.

Put on a mask and let’s have one last chat.

Hiding from the truth, well it’s nothing new.

I can see right through.

I am a liar too and I don’t know what’s the truth and there’s nothing else to do.
