Only the blues

she lays there awake, alone in her head
with a sunrise view
it’s hours before, a knock on her door
will give her the news

to say she’s not afraid would be a lie
cause it’s everything to day that’s on her mind

perched upon a ledge above the sea
staring at her new eternity
wondering how’s she’s ever gonna choose
between the easy life and playing the blues

the doctors have gone, the tears almost dry
when she begins to cry again
alone with her thoughts, there’s not a ray of hope
this is a race she can not win

and they say that fate is probably blind
but the hope inside her heart is rare to find

diving from the ledge into the sea
embracing her new eternity
knowing which path she’s gonna choose
not the easy life, she’s playing the blues
fuck the easy life, she’s playing the blues

a new day comes, the numbness remains
but there’s spark inside
the clouds disappear, the sun shines through
and she is ready for the ride

not a place in this whole world that she can’t go
because adventure is a thing inside her soul
flying like a bird above the sea
racing towards her destiny
taking every path breaking the rules
there is no easy life there’s only the blues
there is no easy life there’s only the blues
