Blind

Turning in circles
I wasn't able to find my footing
I would hear you drive up
And I would pray you were showing your good side

If I learned anything from that
It was never to put me aside
Disappointed every time
I imagined the truth where you lied

So blind then
I thought that you'd change
Shot me down at close range
Left my optimism clearly stained

So blind then
Thought we'd be ok
Thought you'd left your old ways
But you were never gonna change

Winter in L.A.
We began to come apart at the seems
Spent all those nights fighting
Spent all that time passing the blame around

If I learned anything from that
It's that now I know exactly what I don't want
I was destroyed every time
I lost what I finally caught

So blind then
I thought that you'd change
Shot me down at close range
Left my optimism clearly stained

So blind then
Thought we'd be ok
Thought you'd left your old ways
But you were never gonna change

There was no way to conjure up a fantasy
You and me smiling hand in hand along the beach
We were never headed anywhere near crystal seas
You were never coming back to me

So you began to distance
You began to close the door
I was never going to come back to you anymore
That was where it ended
I can see the solid line
Drawn for a final time

So blind then
I thought that you'd change
Shot me down at close range
Left my optimism clearly stained

So blind then
Thought we'd be ok
Thought you'd left your old ways
But you were never gonna change

So blind then (there was no way to)
I thought that you'd change (conjure up a fantasy, you and me smiling)
Shot me down at close range (hand in hand along the beach, we were never headed)
Left my optimism clearly stained (anywhere near crystal seas, you were never coming back to me)

So blind then (So you began to distance)
Thought we'd be ok (you began to close the door, I was never going)
Thought you'd left your old ways (to come back to you anymore, that was where it ended)
But you were never gonna change (I can see the solid line drawn for a final time)

You were never gonna change
You were never gonna change
