Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, could I have been so blind?
So empty that I've never felt warm
Can I spell it out?
Turn myself out of my home
Looking like a fool
Feeling even worse than it seems
Trying hard as nails
Believing only in myself
[Verse 2]
And now it looks like innocence is gone
I know right and I know what's wrong
Feeling lonely, that's the way it goes, sometimes
[Verse 3]
But my greatest fear
Paint a smile from ear to ear
Alone and crying
Living like this is no better than dying
[Verse 4]
I tell you "Baby, things are gonna change"
Looking like we were caught out in the rain
Feeling lonely, that's the way it goes, sometimes
[Chorus]
Could I ever have been so blind?
Oh, could I ever have been so blind?
Could I ever have been so blind?
Hey, could I ever have been so blind?
[Chorus]
Could I ever have been so blind?
Hey, could I ever have been so blind?
[Verse 5]
Hardest thing I ever had to do was
Stand up straight and tell it all to you
Look you right in the eye
Tell you, "Baby, sorry, but I have lied"
[Verse 6]
And now it looks like innocence is gone
I know right and I know what's wrong
Feelin' lonely, that's the way it goes, sometimes
[Chorus]
Oh, could I ever have been so blind?
Yeah, could I ever have been so blind?
Oh, could I ever have been so blind?
Hey, could I ever have been so blind?
