BLUE Lyrics - Billie Eilish
Table of Contents
Additional Information
"BLUE" serves as the closing track (tenth song) on Billie Eilish's third studio album, HIT ME HARD AND SOFT. This track is a reimagining of two previously unreleased Eilish songs.
The first, "True Blue," was originally recorded by Eilish and her brother Finneas O'Connell (producer and collaborator) when she was fourteen and he was eighteen. The full demo version leaked in February 2022, prompting Eilish to revisit and rework the song. The other source material is "Born Blue," which was originally slated for track six on Eilish's 2021 album, Happier Than Ever, but ultimately left off the record because Eilish "just couldn't figure it out" at the time.

BILLIE EILISH - BLUE Lyrics
---
[Part I: TRUE BLUE]
[Intro]
Mm, mm, mm
[Chorus]
I try to live in black and white, but I'm so blue
I'd like to mean it when I say I'm over you
But that's still not true (Blue)
And I'm still so blue, oh
[Verse]
I thought we were the same
Birds of a feather, now I'm ashamed
I told you a lie, désolée, mon amour
I'm tryin' my best, don't know what's in store
Open up the door (Blue)
In the back of my mind, I'm still overseas
A bird in a cage, thought you were made for me
[Chorus]
I try (I'm not what) to live in black and white, but I'm so blue (But I'm not what you need)
I'd like (Not what you need) to mean it when I say I'm over you
But that's still not true, true
And I'm still so blue (And it's not true)
I'm true blue, true blue
I'm true blue
[Outro]
(Blue) Mm, mm, mm
[Part II: BORN BLUE]
[Intro]
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
[Verse 1]
You were born bluer than a butterfly
Beautiful and so deprived of oxygen
Colder than your father's eyes
He never learned to sympathize with anyone
[Chorus]
I don't blame you
But I can't change you
Don't hate you (Don't hate you)
But we can't save you (But we can't save you)
[Verse 2]
You were born reachin' for your mother's hands
Victim of your father's plans to rule the world
Too afraid to step outside
Paranoid and petrified of what you've heard
[Bridge]
But they could say the same 'bout me
I sleep 'bout three hours each night
Means only twenty-one a week now, now
And I could say the same 'bout you
Born blameless, grew up famous too
Just a baby born blue now, now
[Chorus]
I don't blame you
But I can't change you
Don't hate you
But we can't save you
[Bridge]
(But they could say the same 'bout me)
(I sleep 'bout three hours each night)
(Means only twenty-one a week now)
(But they could say the same 'bout me)
(I sleep 'bout three hours each night)
(Means only twenty-one a week now)
(But they could say the same 'bout me)
(I sleep 'bout three hours each night)
(Means only twenty-one a week now)
(But they could say the same 'bout me)
(I sleep 'bout three hours each night)
(Means only twenty-one a week now)
Ooh-ooh
It's over now
It's over now
It's over now
(Ah-ah-ah, ahh)
[Outro]
But when can I hear the next one?
