[Verse 1:]
I got out my old teardrops tonight
Just to try to be on again for size
I know that I'll be needing them before too long
So I'm making preparations to be blue

[Chorus:]
Making preparations to be blue
Getting ready to win I lose you
Taking an inventory of what's left of me and you
So I'm making preparations to be blue

[Verse 2:]
I'm locked in all your memories inside my heart
One by one I'll take 'em out and we're apart
Seeing you with him I knew my heartaches were old friends
So I'm making preparations to be blue

[Chorus]
