(Verse 1) Turned the corner like I always do My hand shook — spilled the coffee too Dark drops spread across my denim knee A quiet stain, slowly swallowing me (Chorus) Oh no, I messed it up — this awful afternoon My favorite jeans won’t be the same too soon Even my heart is soaking through In shades of blue — what should I do? (Verse 2) Pressed a towel gently from behind Cold water taps — I try and try No matter how I dab and scrub It sinks in deeper, like my thoughts (Chorus – Repeat) Oh no, I messed it up — this awful afternoon My favorite jeans won’t be the same too soon Even my heart is soaking through In shades of blue — what should I do? (Bridge) This fabric holds my memories tight Even tiny stains don’t feel right I wished today would be perfect and clean But one small thing broke everything (Chorus – Emotional reprise) Oh no, I messed it up — but this is still me I’ll hold the sadness, let it breathe My favorite jeans, now dyed anew Becoming someone fresh and true (Outro) I can’t move on — I’m stuck in place Can’t find the courage to embrace But even this stain is part of me A brand new shade I’ll learn to be (Epilogue) I still feel like crying just a bit But I pretended strong — and ended it
