Something told me it was over
When i saw you and her talking.
Something deep down in my soul said cry girl,
When i saw you and that girl walking.
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 wanna watch you leave me, baby.
Most of all i just don't,
I just don't want to be free, no.
I was just, i was just,
I was just sitting here thinking
Of your kiss and your warm embrace,
When the reflection in the glass that i held to my lips, baby
Revealed the tears that was on my face.
And
Baby, baby, i'd rather be blind, boy,
Than to see you walk away from me.
