"Blind"

Blind

By: R. A. Cvetich

Sitting there across from me

Obliviously

Do you even see

The way I look at you

The way that I could never look at anyone else?

Trying to read those eyes of yours

I can’t take it anymore

Oh, I wonder if you’re as sure

As I am

And I can’t find a thing about you I don’t like

Except that you’re not always by my side

Behind these lying eyes

Don’t you realize?

CHORUS

And I told myself

I’d never fall for anyone else

And you can’t even tell

Can you even tell

How much you’ve changed my mind?

Don’t you see me stare?

Trying to lie and say there’s nothing there

I wonder if you could ever care

The way I do

If you only knew

And yet you sit there blind

I smile with every word you say

Can’t you stay

Just for today?

And for the day after that?

And every day until my last breath?

Trying so hard to pretend

That I’m not falling for my best friend

I wonder if you’re as scared of the end

As I am

Am I supposed to figure out these signs?

Should I try to read between the lines?

Will there be a day I’ll call you mine?

Oh, can’t you read my mind?

Repeat CHORUS

Bridge

I don’t want to be without you

I’m just not that strong

Don’t you see? I’m crazy about you

And I’ve been here all along

Open up your eyes

Then you’ll realize

That I’m the one that you’ve been trying to find

But you just sit there blind

Repeat CHORUS
