Blueprint For The Blues

The blues they ain't nothing

But a good man feelin' bad

A low down case of sad

Lost the best you've ever had

Well it ain't no secret

Love don't live here anymore

She just slipped right out the door

She won't be back no more

Thought out love was built to last

Stood on solid ground

But it was just a house of cards

And, girl, you tore it down

The walls started shakin'

And the tears started shortin' the fuse

The foundation was quakin', yeah

Well, there's trouble in the house of love

Baby, you're the blueprint for the blues

They say that a woman

Is the architect of pain

She's the bringer of the rain

Drag a good man down in flames

The moment I met you, girl

I should have seen the truth

Through the lies and the abuse

Your youth was your excuse

I lay here in this bed alone

And through these tears I laugh

I thought our love was cut in stone

It became my epitaph

That's when the walls started shakin'

And my head started blowin' a fuse

And my heart it was breakin'

There's trouble in the house of love

Baby, you're the blueprint for the blues

The walls started shakin'

And my head started blowin' a fuse

And my heart it was breaking, baby

There's trouble in the house love
