Blinded Love
You crept behind a tear where passion slept,
longing where dreams lie wide awake
and blind to desires hidden in view, yet
- you look through and see only mistakes.
Like the melody of a love song
when the lyrics are all that will soothe
a broken soul lost for so long
- the sound and rhythm so impossible to lose.
In the arms of tomorrow you dance
to our song, while I cannot see
the hopelessness that lingers in one last chance
- for something that can never be...
So many wishes have faded away since I
became too blind to say...goodbye...
