[Verse 1]
I didn't tell you baby
I didn't even let you know
Baby I lied about my love
Just to let you go

'Cause I really, really loved you
'Cause I really, really loved you

You tried to replace my love
You didn’t fight for us
I saw you fade back then
I saw you break and bend

'Cause you really, really love you
'Cause you really, really love you, love you

[Chorus]
You only need me when you're blue
Slowly getting over you
(Slowly getting over you)
All we needed was the truth
All we really had to do

[Hook]
When you're blue
When you're blue
[Verse 2]
We haven't talked much lately
I know you're not alone
If I could go back in time right now
I wouldn't have played along but

You say he really, really loves you
You say he really, really loves you

And I only hear from you
When you're sad or drunk
Watching you fade right now
I hear your silence loud

'Cause you really, really love you
'Cause you really, really love you

[Pre-Chorus]
You only need me when you're blue
Slowly getting over you
(slowly getting over you)
All we needed was the truth
All we really had to do

[Hook]
When you're blue
When you're blue
[Bridge]
You say you don't want me
Maybe I don't want you
Where were you?
I needed you
You only need me

[Hook]
When you're blue
When you're blue
When you're blue

[Chorus]
You only need me when you're blue
Slowly getting over you
(When you're blue)
All we needed was the truth
All we really had to do
