Blind

Verse 1
Don’t be discouraged,
and don't be ashamed.
I will pretend that
I was to blame.
Cannot afford to
linger this on.
I'll be the one who
can look beyond.

Chorus
And I can say...
I tried my best to fight.
And I can say...
I held on all this time
without a right.

Delaying my pain
will not prevent this simple cry.
For all it’s worth...you were right.
You were right.

Verse 2
You always told me
that you couldn’t stay.
Why did I think that
I'd have my way?
Breaking forth to
some kind of change.
You'd never bend or
you just might break.

Chorus
And I can say...
I tried my best to fight
And I can say...
I held on all this time
without a right.

Delaying my pain
will not prevent this simple cry.
For all it’s worth...you were right.
You were right.

Verse 3
I know you warned me.
It came right out of your mouth.
You never promised.
There was no doubt.
I was so blind then
to all that you said.
Seems like the future
was all in my head.

Chorus
And I can say...
I tried my best to fight.
And I can say...
I held on all this time
without a right.

Delaying my pain
will not prevent this simple cry.
For all it’s worth...you were right.
You were right.

After all this time...you were right.
