The Chosen Ignorance of the Blind
He pretends he knows nothing
He pretends he doesn't hear
But I know that this is ending
The truth will become clear
He turns away at my tears
He ignores my cries
He doesn't protect me from my fears
His words have all become lies
Where did the love go?
Why does he run from me?
If only I could know
If only he would hear my plea
His kiss is false
His touch is never there
The affection is lost
He doesn't really care
If we could go back to the start
Maybe he would stay
He holds my heart
But he carelessly throws it away
He never calls
He is never there
He doesn't try to break through my walls
He pretends he isn't aware
We are a lost cause
This boat is going down
But I still try to hold on to what was
Even though I know I might drown
If I don't make it
If I don't survive
I know that I have loved
And I have known truly alive
He may push away
He may try to hide
But the sky was once blue
And love did reside
