I Once Was Blind

struggling to forget the words that you said to me
when i first laid eyes on you
i never meant to disturb the peace inside of your mind
or your heart and soul
but is it really soft and sweet,
or are you scared?
well, maybe you were unprepared, but
please, before i go,
i'd like to know
do you remember when you said to me:

"i
can't
be
lieve
what
i
have
seen,
and
i
won't fail ya now!"

?

could've sworn i was misled, but i was just mistaken
when i last laid eyes on you
and what i don't understand is when you held my hand,
what about it didn't feel right?

NO!
NOT AGAIN!
well, now i've lost another friend!
it's SO unfair!
you could say i was unprepared, oh...

"nah-nah nah, nah naaaaah nah!
you know i'd never fool ya!"

you said to me...

well, i was blind as blind could be! now,

i
can't
be
lieve
what
i
have
seen, and
i
won't fail me now!

no, i
can't believe
what
these
two
eyes have seen, and
i won't fail me now...

no, not now!

Funny

it's funny how often we're chasing our tails
we're back where we started from
we keep going, and going, and going until
we forget the meaning of done
it's funny how often i'm taking that step
the same one that makes me fall
has me slipping and sliding, tumbling
in a downward spiral

it's funny how often i dream of you now
that you're not in bed with me
and it's funny how often i'm hearing your voice
now that we no longer speak
and oh, how hilarious it is when i
see people we used to befriend!
well, they're either with me
or they're hangin' with you, oh,
the cycle, it never ends

oh, it's funny
oh, how strange
oh, it's funny to say goodbye

it's funny now that i woke up from that dream
awake: i'm back at square one
and it's funny, now that i let go of that plan,
my future has come undone
and it's funny, your features look sharper to me
you smell just like when we first met
oh, it's funny, it's funny,
it's frightening to me
i fear that i'm gonna forget..

lord, i know that i'm gonna...

oh, it's funny
oh, it's so god damn strange...
oh, it's funny to say goodbye.
