Turn a blind eye, take a deep breath and wait.
Not everything's meant with malice and hate.
It's getting late now, much too late for that now
-so turn a blind eye, turn a blind eye.
It's because you speak to me in tongues
that I'm too weak to carry on.
I realise it won't be long,
but I tried.
you speak to me in tongues
and I'm too weak to carry on.
I realise it won't be long,
but I tried.
Innocence gone now, only naivety remains.
you think I didn't notice the stain?
it's funny how time spent reminds me of how you used to be
-you never opened your eyes, you never opened your eyes.
you never opened your eyes, or your mind.
you never opened your eyes.
-and you speak to me in tongues,
and I'm too weak to carry on.
I realise it won't be long,
but I tried.
