Am I Blue
Echoes of Heartbreak: Gloria Lynne's Melancholy Tale in 'Am I Blue'
Lyrics
I'm just a woman, a lonely woman
I identify as a woman, and I feel isolated and alone.
Waiting on the weary shore
I am patiently waiting on the shore, possibly for someone or something.
I'm just a woman who's only human
As a woman, I am imperfect and vulnerable.
One you should feel sorry for
People should empathize with my situation and feel compassion for me.
It was a morning, long before dawn
Referring to a past morning, possibly a significant moment, occurring before sunrise.
Without a warning I found he was gone
Unexpectedly and without prior notice, I discovered that he had left or abandoned me.
How could he do it, why should he do it
I question why he would leave and what could have motivated such an action.
He never done it before
This departure is unusual; he has never behaved this way before.
Am I blue, am I blue
I express my emotional state, questioning whether I am feeling sad or depressed.
Ain't these tears in these eyes telling you
The tears in my eyes serve as evidence of my emotional distress.
How can you ask me am I blue
It seems almost absurd to ask if I am feeling blue, given the visible signs of my sadness.
Why, wouldn't you be too
I imply that anyone in my situation would also be feeling sad.
If each plan with your man
Reflecting on plans or dreams that I had with my partner.
Done fell through
These plans have now failed or been abandoned by my partner.
There was a time
Recalling a time when I was the only romantic interest in his life.
When I was his only one
Contrasting the past with the present, I am now the one feeling sad and lonely.
But now I'm the sad and lonely one, lonely
Summarizing the current emotional state as sadness and loneliness.
Was I gay, until today
Reflecting on the past, suggesting that I was happy until today.
Now he's gone, and we're through
Now that he has left, our relationship is over.
Am I blue
Repeating the question of whether I am feeling blue, emphasizing the emotional impact of the breakup.
