LIFEHOUSE - BLIND

this song makes me cry

As for it's meaning...

The first verse really sounds like he's talking about his father walking out on him early in his life. Now (many years later) he's in a relationship with a woman, but can't get close with her. He's reminded of the past when his father walked out on him and fears this girl will walk out on him just like his father. All this fear he has puts a strain on the relationship until they eventually break up.

...Or, it's just all about his father (which is the more likely scenario...but the last line in the chorus kind of makes me think this song is partly about a woman.)

Then again, I've never been all that good at deciphering meanings...so I could be waay off. Either way, it's an amazing song. 

Blind Lyrics

I was young but I wasn't naive

I watched helpless as he turned around to leave

And still I have the pain I have to carry

A past so deep that even you could not bury if you tried

After all this time

I never thought we'd be here

Never thought we'd be here

When my love for you was blind

But I couldn't make you see it

Couldn't make you see it

That I loved you more than you'll ever know

A part of me died when I let you go

I would fall asleep

Only in hopes of dreaming

That everything would be like is was before

But nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting

They disappear as reality is crashing to the floor

After all this time

I never thought we'd be here

Never thought we'd be here

When my love for you was blind

But I couldn't make you see it

Couldn't make you see it

That I loved you more than you'll ever know

A part of me died when I let you go

After all this time

Would you ever wanna leave it

Maybe you could not believe it

That my love for you was blind

But I couldn't make you see it

Couldn't make you see it

That I loved you more than you will ever know

A part of me died when I let you go

And I loved you more than you'll ever know

A part of me dies when I let you go
