I COULDN'T SEE

So blinded by his love
that I just couldn't see
the pain in his eyes
when he tried to tell me
that our romance was over,
no hope left to renew;
I faced total destruction,
he had found someone new.

So blindly I gave him my trust,
with sweetness I held on to him;
The strength of my passion
convinced me we'd be happy again,
but a gold ring is cold comfort
when I am sitting here at home
not understanding why he cheats,
and leaves me lost and alone.

So blinded by love
that I just couldn't see
that our future together
no longer could be...
His intentions were plain
and now that he has gone;
There's nothing I can do
except try to go on.
