Fingers trace your skin.
All your cliffs and peaks
And your hair it flows like waterfalls Wanna give some color back to your cheeks
Fingers intertwine
As you tell me you can't take it any more
Let our hearts and souls combine
While hell is knocking at our door
Mermaid, sing to me
He don't love you like I do
He won't take your pain away
You know it's true
I wanna see you smile, wanna see you cry Oh, you're such a fool
We should get some bruises falling in love
'Cause I love it when you're blue
Blue
Yeah, it's making me mad
Knowing I can treat you better than he could
And your tears they flow like waterfalls
And I don't think they should
Yeah, it's okay to smile
Even if inside it's tearing you apart
No he'll never love you in the way that I do
Why'd you go and give someone like that your heart?
Mermaid, sing to me
He don't love you like I do
He won't take your pain away
You know it's true
Yeah, I wanna see you smile, wanna see you cry. Oh, you're such a fool
We should get some bruises falling in love
'Cause I love it when you're blue
Blue
(Underneath our skin our blood runs blue)
Our blood runs blue
(No he'll never love you like I do)
I still love you
And what am I to say?
What was I supposed to say?
What am I to say?
Just tell me what to say
What am I supposed to say?
What am I to say?
We threw it all away
And we're still blue
