Little boy blues break down

Lyrics

[Chorus]
Little Boy Blue don’t blow no horn,
Crops still die, no one's warned.
Fields get flooded, flock’s all gone,
But they still act like he’s holding strong.
Boy Blue ain't loud, but the weight runs deep,
Smiles in the day, don’t rest, don’t sleep.
They see calm, but they don’t see grief,
Blue breaks down when the world can’t peep.
---
[Verse 1]
They said, "Blue, you're quiet, that’s calm, that’s safe,"
But silence ain’t peace when you carry that weight.
I was 10 with thoughts I could barely explain,
While they joked, I was froze in pain.
Had sheep, had corn, had tasks on tasks,
Grew too fast while they sat and laughed.
They ain't ask once, "You good, my guy?"
But they’d blame me if the flock went dry.
Used to sit on hills with my thoughts on loop,
Played strong ‘cause I had no crew.
I ain’t blow no horn ‘cause I had no breath,
Had to fake life just to hide my death.
---
[Chorus]
Little Boy Blue don’t blow no horn,
Crops still die, no one's warned.
Fields get flooded, flock’s all gone,
But they still act like he’s holding strong.
Boy Blue ain't loud, but the weight runs deep,
Smiles in the day, don’t rest, don’t sleep.
They see calm, but they don’t see grief,
Blue breaks down when the world can’t peep.
---
[Verse 2]
Now I’m grown, but I still feel small,
Still get flashbacks, can’t shake ‘em off.
Man like me weren’t raised to talk,
Just hold it in while the world walks off.
People say, “You were always chilled,”
But chilled is numb when your soul gets killed.
I was screaming silent, eyes on fire,
But they saw peace while I sank in mire.
Don’t tell me "speak" when you never did ask,
Don’t tell me "heal" when you left that scar.
You ain't seen pain ‘til you break so slow,
That even your tears don’t choose to show.
---
[Chorus]
Little Boy Blue don’t blow no horn,
Crops still die, no one's warned.
Fields get flooded, flock’s all gone,
But they still act like he’s holding strong.
Boy Blue ain't loud, but the weight runs deep,
Smiles in the day, don’t rest, don’t sleep.
They see calm, but they don’t see grief,
Blue breaks down when the world can’t peep.
---
[Outro]
Yeah… Blue’s still here.
Didn’t blow that horn—but that don’t mean he didn’t feel it.
Sometimes the quietest ones carry the heaviest things.
This is Boy Blue’s truth.
