Lyrics
I'm watching movies alone,
I engage in solitary activities, watching movies alone.
with the lights out and the volume down
The environment is dimly lit, and the volume is low.
and I'm wondering if you'll ever come around
I ponder if you will ever come back into my life.
I see right through your words
I can see the true meaning behind your words.
because I know you and you know me too
We know each other well.
you think that I'm yellow,
Although you perceive me as cowardly ("yellow"), I am actually sad ("blue").
oh, but I'm so blue
Reiterating the emotional state of feeling sad.
I've been on my own for all of these years and
I've been alone for many years.
I have never known anyone who has made me shed so many tears
No one has caused me as much sorrow as you have.
Well, I know he is yellow
Acknowledging your emotional state ("yellow"), contrasting with mine ("blue").
but I'm blue
Repeating the expression of sadness.
I'm walking alone downtown
I walk alone in the city center.
and the music reminds me of you
The music triggers memories of you.
I use to love it, but I hate it now, yes I do
I used to enjoy it, but now I dislike it due to the association with you.
I'm so lonely here on my own
Expressing loneliness because I know you are with someone else.
because I know you're with her instead
You are not with me until the end.
you are not with me
Emphasizing the absence of your presence.
all the way until the end, no
I've been on my own for all of these years and
Reiteration of being alone for an extended period.
I have never known anyone who has made me shed so many tears
No one has caused as much sadness as you have.
Well, I know he is yellow,
Confirming your emotional state ("yellow") compared to mine ("blue").
but I'm blue
Repeating the expression of sadness.
(Guitar solo)
Instrumental break (no lyrical content).
Maybe I was just to young to understand
Suggesting a lack of understanding due to youth.
that when you think you're in love with a man, oh honey
Realization that what seemed like love with a man was actually with a boy.
you're in love with a boy instead
Clarifying the shift from thinking it's love with a man to realizing it's a boy.
oh, you're in love with a boy, yeah
Repeating the realization of being in love with a boy.
I've been on my own for all of these years, yeah
Reiteration of prolonged solitude and intense sadness caused by you.
I have never known anyone, who has, made me shed so many tears
No one has caused as much sorrow as you have.
Well, I know that he is yellow, yes I do
Acknowledging your emotional state ("yellow").
I know he is yellow, I know he is yellow,
Repeating the acknowledgment of your emotional state ("yellow").
but I'm so blue.
Emphasizing the persistent feeling of sadness ("blue").
