The Blind Lyrics

shine the light into my eyes
blind me with your ignorance
show me every failure
every tragedy I've caused
shine the light into my eyes
so I can see that I have you down
if you're the only one that matters
I guess I can't complain

shine the light into my eyes
tell me how I have to change
show me how I had it better than you
and how I'll never know your pain

shine your light in my blind eyes
it doesn't help, I still can't see
tell me why I even try
if you'll always be better than me

with my head beneath the ground
I can see it all so clear
I will always let you down
but I will always be here
shine the light into my eyes
show me color in this grey
paint the world around me picture perfect
so there is nothing I can say

shine your light in my blind eyes
it's doesn't help, I still can't see
tell me why I even try
when you'll always be better than me
have I made my mark on this grey world
shone a light into the heart of the things I've left behind

I want to go back
you know I do
but I can't change what happened to you
and I can't carry this cross any longer
I built it with my own two hands
I sealed it with my lack of strength
and I collapse beneath it's weight again and again

with my head beneath the ground
I can see it all so clear
I will always let you down
but I will always be here
