TOO BLIND TO SEE

© by Stan C. Countz

VERSE 1
I lay awake late one night in my bed
Thinkin’ ‘bout those hateful things you said
Your words kept repeating like a cracked CD
Could I be that needy or that naïve?

CHORUS
I believed every word I heard from your lips
Everyone told me you weren’t worth the risk
But no one was gonna come between you and me
Should’ve seen the signs but I was too blind to see

VERSE 2
This pain is somethin’ I won’t soon forget
It’s like playing a game of Russian Roulette
You asked me to dance; I thought “this ought to be fun”
So I took a chance with a loaded gun

VERSE 3
I should’ve seen the signs right from the start
Odds were against me and for a broken heart
Gave it my best shot, grinned with vim and vigor
Placed my bets and then pulled the trigger

CHORUS
I believed every word I heard comin’ from your lips
It never occurred to me you’d be givin’ me the slip
Thought they wanted to come between you and me
Should’ve seen the signs but I was too blind to see

VERSE 4
I set myself up; but you let me down
Told myself it’s best without you around
Who needs all that stress and strife?
I’m better off without you in my life

OUTRO
I guess I was just another girl on your list
Every one said you weren’t worth the risk
I played by the rules; you made a fool out of me
Should’ve seen the signs but I was too blind to see
I never knew you were shootin' from the hips
The answer was right at my fingertips
I bought all your lines, it's hard to believe
Should’ve seen the signs but I was too blind to see
