the blues told me to

U know i went n did it.
 Gave u all i ever had to give.
 Now i ain't got a damn thing.
 I've forgotten how to live.
 It's a shame i went n gone to waste.
 Waitin on u to come around.
 Woman, I'm somewhere broken.
 With a case of blues that I've found.
 I knew it be u to take me down.
 U came along n done somethin so sad.
 Ya threw away the best thing I've ever known.
 Took this good man n drive him mad.
 I wanted u somethin serious luv.
 Dropped my pride at ur feet jus to lose my touch.
 But anymore i can't even taste ur name.
 Guess it was about that time to lose so much.
 I got to get to movin on away from ur memory.
 So I'm leavin it here to rest in peace.
 Jus the way u left me holdin on.
 Cuz I'm finally in the mood to simply breathe.
 Without u i haven't nothin to lose.
 But that's jus the way i knew it be.
 As i stand corrected n accused.
 The day my dreams were put to ease.
 It was real nice knowin u.
 Til the blues told me u were no good.
 N that moment has come to pass.
 N thankful ol me jus finished this book.
 U lied to me, n lied on me to.
 To protect our own.
 Play times over n flushed out u are.
 You've earned ur crooked throne.
