Sapphire - The Real Folk Blues lyrics

Too late to let you know, what you mean to me If I cried I'd only make you believe I was happy I've got to let you go and my heart, it aches But it's worth it, 'cause I swear to god, you're a mistake Know there could be a day, when the pain will fade But a part of me is lookin' for you, back on yesterday I've got to get away, 'cause my heart, it burns And I know if I keep stickin' around, I won't ever learn Don't wanna cry 'Cause, baby, I Can feel freedom when they play The real folk blues I need the pain My unhappiness is proof I'm not insane 'Cause when I'm close to you I swear, I could die Need to live my life, yeah, live like I'm alive And it's a lonely road Good luck and goodbye
