I should have known
From the look in your eye
I should have known
From the difference in desire
I should have known
From the chill of your lips on mine
That we were meant to end-
But I wanted to be blind.
I should have known
From the sweet nothing's went missing
I should have known
From the absence of three words in our texts good night
I should have known
From the way I prepared to say goodbye
That we'd go back to being friends-
But I wanted to be blind.
I should have known
From the warmth was fading
I should have known
From our priorities
I should have known
From the pattern in my history
That from cloud nine I would have to descend-
But I wanted to believe
In Us
In You and Me
In the possibilities
I knew I could see the light at the end of the tunnel-
And as I cut the red tie
I wished with all my heart
That I could just be blind.
