[Verse 1]
Still barely eighteen
A real-life daydream
Soaring like a thing from Heaven
Breaking in your freedom wings when
"Wildflowers," Tom Petty
First time, a levee
Broke your little heart like glass
Nothing matters when they look like that

[Pre-Chorus]
Same chords over and over
Same sad song, still no closure
Same bridge that he burned down real damn fast

[Chorus]
Is he why you're blue?
Is he the why you sing the way you do?
Is he your stormy sky, your midnight blues?
Is it true?
Is he why you hate to fly? Is he why you love to hurt?
Is he why you're blue, bird?

[Verse 2]
He left you stranded
Weren't built for a crash landing
But you've been laying there forever
You blame it on the change of weather
[Pre-Chorus]
You went from getting high to getting by

[Chorus]
Is he why you're blue?
Is he the why you sing the way you do?
Is he your stormy sky, your midnight blues?
Is it true?
Is he why you hate to fly? Is he why you love to hurt?
Is he why you're blue, bird?
Is he why you're blue, bird?

[Bridge]
Why you don't sleep, you don't eat
He's the lead in your feet
Took all that you used to be
Now love's just a song you sing

[Chorus]
Is he why you're blue?
Is he the why you sing the way you do?
Is he your stormy sky, your midnight blues?
Is it true?
Is he why you hate to fly? Is he why you love to hurt?
Is he the reason why I know every single word?
Is he why you're blue, bird?
Is he why you're blue, bird?
