Blind

She don't care who I am when the lights come on,

Only loves the dark in me, not the dawn.

I'm addicted to the damage she leaves behind,

Every kiss another step into the blind...

Silhouettes in the hallway,

She moves like a secret I can’t keep.

Told myself I’d walk away,

But I fell deeper in her sleep.

All her truths are laced with poison,

All my lies are dressed in gold.

We don’t talk about emotions —

Just let the silence take control

I'm blind —

To everything except the way she makes me feel.

Numb inside,

But I still chase the pain like it's something real.

I lost sight of who I was,

Now I'm just the ghost she loved.

I’m blind...

And I don't even want to heal

Told myself I’m in control,

But I’m the puppet, she’s the strings.

Told her she could have my soul —

She just laughed and kept the ring.

Red lights flicker on my ceiling,

Heartbeat syncs to her goodbye.

I still see her when I’m dreaming,

But I wake up asking why.

Can’t see the truth through the smoke and the wine,

Can’t hear the lies when she’s whispering mine.

I was fine, now I’m drowning in time —

'Cause everything fades when you’re blind...

I'm blind —

To everything except the way she says my name.

Left behind,

But I still walk through every spark she set to flame.

I forgot how light should feel,

Traded love for something real.

I’m blind...

And I like it just the same

I should’ve known better...

But I never do, do I?
