You turn away, you won't look at me
You seem to think that I just can't see
I was hoping he was out of your heart
But he's still calling you
Now he's back and I'm blue

I forgot about yesterday
Those memories seemed so far away
All it took was just a whisper to start
The flame burning anew
Now he's back and I'm blue

Ooh, that old feeling
Filling up your dreams again
Oh, it comes stealing
Taking you away

I guess there's nothing left for me to do
I can't stop him from living in you
'Cause the past can only pull us apart
Still you carry it through
Now he's back and I'm blue

Oh, that old feeling
Filling up your dreams again
Ooh, it comes stealing
Taking you away 

You turn away, you won't look at me
You seem to think that I just can't see
I was hoping he was out of your heart
But he's still calling you
Now he's back and I'm blue
Now he's back and I'm blue
Now he's back and I'm blue
