[Intro]
Mm-mm

[Verse 1]
Don't look pretty when I cry
Do you feel bad when you lie?
You weren't helping me, no
You'd make me feel so small
When I lost you
Nothing was good
No longer happy anymore
Had to let it go

[Chorus]
Ooh, I thought I found the one
But clearly, I was blue (Babe)
Blue

[Verse 2]
Why would I stay?
You forced me away
You were nice, 'til you were not
We always fought
Fought a lot
I wonder why you took so long
To realise that the love was gone
Never, ever felt so bad

[Chorus]
Ooh, I thought I found the one
But clearly, I was blue (Babe)
Blue

[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Mm-mm-mm
Ooh

Stella Rose Bennett (born 30 January 2000), known professionally as BENEE (formerly Bene), is a New Zealand singer-songwriter who debuted in December 2017 with “Tough Guy.” Music had always been part of her life, with a family history in theatre. BENEE’s first instrument was a saxophone, playing it for several years, along with the guitar.

BENEE started posting music to Soundcloud in her final year of high school (2017), catching the attention of producer Josh Fountain. The pair went on the work together in several of her singles, including break-out single “Soaked” which was featured on triple j’s hottest 100 (2018).

After spending two weeks in a communications course at the Auckland Institute of Technology, Benee realised she wanted to be making music full-time.
