So Blind

I tried to let you down easy

I didn’t lead you astray with lies,

But you didn’t wanna listen to me.



All I can say is you were blind with love

A kind of love I didn’t have for you,

I should have left you with just a bruised heart.



I’m sorry for staying so long

In this fest of a fantasy,

It wasn’t my world, so I didn’t add to it.



Defenses are up, sympathy is down

How many times, how many times,

Do I have to apologize cuz you were too blind to see?



I’m sorry for staying in your fantasy,

But your ears were closed,

Your eyes looked the other way.



I know you saw that number

Of that other dude from the club,

Written on a note in my pocket.



I treated you right

Up til the point you just denied,

The love was never there.



Defenses are up, sympathy is down

How many times, how many times,

Do I have to apologize cuz you were too blind to see?



I confessed I cheated,

I thought this ruse was through,

But you were just too damn blind to see.



I’m not sorry

You found me in bed with that other man,

I’m not sorry

I didn’t come home til late in the morning,

I’m not sorry

I didn’t always pick up my phone,

I’m not sorry

I didn’t accept your ring.



You can’t be that surprised

After all the signs I left you,

After all the times I told you,

The love ain’t there.
