Blindfolds

I always thought we’d make it through
My eyes were bright with thoughts of you
It felt so wrong, but still so right
Was it ever worth the fight?
Did the darkness make you drown?
Choking you up, pulling me down
You abandoned sense and hope
When you tied this blindfold
Why can’t we leave?
What’s left to achieve?
There’s nothing to see
On love’s golden streets
Why can’t we leave?
What’s left to achieve?
I pulled the tape from tired eyes
Burned this bed on which we lie
I must’ve wasted so much breath
Telling tales of hurtfulness
After all that’s said and done
Battles lost, battles won
You no longer had your hold
When I tore this blindfold
Why can’t we leave?
What’s left to achieve?
There’s nothing to see
On love’s golden streets
Why can’t we leave?
What’s left to achieve?
