The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Something told me it was over (yeah)
when I saw you and her talking
Something deep down in my soul said,
"cry girl" (cry, cry)
when I saw you
and that girl walking out
Ooh, I would rather
I would rather go blind boy,
than to see you
walk away from me child
So you see,
I love you so much
that I don't want
to watch you leave me babe
most of all I just don't,
I just dont want to be free no
I was just, I was just,
I was just sittin here
thinking of your kiss
and your warm embrace, yeah
when the reflection of the glass
that I held to my lips now babe,
revealed the tears
that was on my face yeah
and baby, baby,
I'd rather be blind boy
than to see you
walk away from me
baby baby baby...
I'd rather be blind
