I must have been blind

Performed by Brendan Perry

(NOTE: Lyrics may differ slightly from those shown below)

Here I am believin' words again
Here I am tryin' to find your love again
Here I am down on my knees again
Prayin' for a love
That we used to know

Both of us know
How hard it is to love
And let it go

Both of us know
How hard it is to go on living that way
When so few understand what it means
To fall in love
And so few know how hard it is to live without it

Lord I must have been blind
I must have been blind
Lord I must have been blind

To hold something real
And not believe it
To live in her life
And never trust it
To give all you know and never feel it
To hold back each day
Until it dies away

Both of us know
How hard it is to love
And let it go
Both of us know
How hard it is to go on
Living that way
When so few understand what it means
To fall in love
And so few know how hard it is to live without it

I must have been blind
I must have been blind
Lord, I must have been blind
Yes, I must have been blind
