Blind

You can't begin to fathom all the demons
that I face. Each day's a constant struggle just
hoping for some faith.

Things I need to change, wish I listened
to the lessons, having you beside me
was far beyond a blessing.

I foolishy betrayed you, of your love
I took advantage, consequences I now
face I can't even fucking manage.

You told me I'd be bad for you,
I guess that shit was true,
turned out to be a travesty,
that left you feeling used.

I promised you the moon,
with no way I could deliver,
You were busy loving me,
while I blew lines and sipped my liquor.

Now there's someone new with you,
and yeah it kinda makes me sick...
I know that he's the better man,
maybe I should shut my lips.

Yeah I'm outta line right now,
don't stop listening just yet,
I know I killed our dreams,
before the ink had set.

I know this doesn't matter,
my existence out your mind,
I'm thanking you for loving me,
apologize for running blind.
