Story Behind The Song
Angry words. Depression. Running out the door with a suitcase, never to come back. Never again lying to myself about a relationship. All in the song, all true.
Song Description
It's a story song about the difficulty of leaving a relationship with someone who is depressed. Blue Becomes you has a double meaning: the blueness in the partner is partly alluring, and the blueness takes over both in the relationship-making it difficult to act.

Lyrics
Blue Becomes You
I?m lying to you
But I don?t know the truth
You won?t take that lying down
You?re coming at me with that serious frown
And I?m feeling as small as the eye of a needle
The tip of a match
The eye of a needle
I stay because it?s true that blue becomes you
I touch your sweet face and the anger melts away
Melts down to a nagging want
And I don?t know what to do
Cause I?m starting to feel that your moods are contagious
The back and the forth from sadness to rages
I stay because it?s true that blue becomes you
I?m lying to you but you don?t want the truth
The truth is I am gone
You?re far in the distance with the television on
And I?m feeling as small as the eye of a needle
The tip of a match
The eye of a needle
I leave because it?s true that blue becomes you
