Blue
Yearning in Blue: LeAnn Rimes' Melancholic Ode to Unrequited Love
Lyrics
Blue
Expressing a feeling of sadness or melancholy.
Oh, so lonesome for you
Feeling lonely in the absence of someone.
Why can't you be blue over me
Questioning why the person isn't feeling the same sadness about the speaker.
Blue
Reiteration of the emotional state of being "blue."
Oh, so lonesome for you
Reiterating the loneliness experienced due to the absence of the person.
Tears fill my eyes 'til I can't see
Tears are clouding the speaker's vision due to intense emotions.
Three o'clock in the morning
Describing a specific time (3 o'clock in the morning).
Here am I
Expressing the speaker's presence at that particular moment.
Sittin' here so lonely
Feeling lonely and isolated at the current moment.
So lonesome I could cry
Emphasizing the depth of loneliness by comparing it to the possibility of crying.
Blue
Reiteration of the emotional state of being "blue."
Oh, so lonesome for you
Reiterating the loneliness experienced due to the absence of the person.
Why can't you be blue over me
Questioning why the person isn't feeling the same sadness about the speaker.
Now that it's over
Reflecting on the end of a relationship.
I realized
Realization that the words spoken by the person were insincere or deceptive.
Those weak words you whispered were nothin' but lies
Describing the dishonesty in the words spoken by the person.
Blue
Reiteration of the emotional state of being "blue."
Oh, so lonesome for you
Reiterating the loneliness experienced due to the absence of the person.
Why can't you be blue over me
Questioning why the person isn't feeling the same sadness about the speaker.
Why can't you be blue over me
Repeating the desire for the person to share the speaker's feelings of sadness.
