Lyrics for Blinded

Have you ever been blinded by the pain? Blinded, blinded by the pain Unwilling to see, senseless So blinded by selfishness Only focusing on myself And ignoring anyone else Becoming driven by despair Feeling trapped into a corner Losing more and more of reality Perceiving all the hurt only one-sidedly Have you ever been blinded by the pain? Losing yourself inside the heartache Losing yourself Feeling too powerless to change Stuck and unable to escape Incapable to see another way I need someone to shake me, to wake me I don't even need full clarity Just to start the shift from blind to blurry Have you ever been blinded by the pain? Losing yourself inside the heartache And does that mean we cannot change? Or will we always be seen that way? Will we always be seen that way? And does that really mean we have not changed? Or does it only mean The truth is not in how we're seen? But in the actions that we're now determined to take Revealing the new path we chose to mend the heartache Was it a pattern or a disastrous mistake? Is the truth in what you see or what I say? Have you ever been blinded by the pain? Losing yourself inside the heartache And does that mean we cannot change? Or will we always be seen that way? Be seen that way? Blinded by pain? (blinded by the pain) And does that really mean we have not changed?
