How could I have been so fucking blind?!
Look out, look out, look by your side
Sometimes the devil wears a pretty disguise
So reach out, cry out, open my eyes
Show me my future before I kiss it goodbye
And you told me we could fly
So I hold on and once again
Once again I leave it all behind
You told me we could swim
So I climbed so high up to a mountain for you
I closed my eyes, and I took the dive
How can I make up for all this lost time?!
The scent of home sweet home
Now bears the bitterest smell
And the land I was meant to love
Feels like a short stay in hell
Feels like a short stay in hell
It's time to let go
You told me we could fly
So I hold on and once again
Once again I leave it all behind
You told me we could swim
So I climbed so high up to a mountain for you
I closed my eyes, and I took the dive
How can I make up for all this fucking lost time?
That I'll never ever get back
25 to life, I thank you for, thanks for wasting my time
Time I'll never ever, ever ever get back!
How could I have been so fucking blind?!
You told me we could fly
So I hold on and once again
Once again I leave it all behind
You told me we could swim
So I climbed so high up to a mountain for you
I closed my eyes, I've been so fucking blind
