The Blues Came Knocking

Mmm. Mmm. I was sittin' by the window When the night came down. Watchin' lonely shadows move across this town. I thought I had buried All the pain inside. But the blues found my door and came walkin' Back tonight. I poured a little whiskey, Turned the lights down low. Let the old guitar tell me What I already know. Some memories never learn to leave. Some heartbreaks stay like a Melody. The blues came knockin' at my door. Like a ghost I've known before. Bringin' back the tears I tried to hide. And the love I left behind. But I won't run, I won't break down. I wear my scars like a crown. The blues came knockin', I let them in. And found my strength beneath the pain Again. There's a story In every broken heart. A song in every fallin' apart. I lost a love that meant everything. But I found the voice inside me sing. The rain may fall, the night may stay. But I've learned how to face another day. Every sorrow that tried to pull me under. Turned into my own kind of thunder. The blues came knockin' at my door. Like a ghost I've known before. Bringin' back the tears I tried to hide. And the love I left behind. But I won't run, I won't break down. I wear my scars like a crown. The blues came knockin', I let them in. And found my strength beneath the pain Again. Let the piano cry, let the guitar sing. Let the memories lose their sting. I'm not the woman I used to be. The blues gave back a piece of me. The blues came Knockin' one more time. But I'm stronger than the past I left behind. Every tear Became a river of gold. Every heartbreak made my soul bold. The blues came knockin' at my door. But I don't fear them anymore. They brought the pain, they brought the rain. But they also brought me back Again. Yeah.
