Maybe I'm blind, maybe I'm blind Oh, I couldn't see you shine And shimmer right in front of my eyes Front of my eyes, oh no I never saw light, never saw light All I saw were faded mirrors And dim reflections but You shine, you shine so much brighter, oh So honey let me sing you a song And listen to my words As they come out wrong, but don't Run away, run away, this time And honey let me look in your eyes You can open them one at a time, but don't Look away, look away, this time Open your mind, open your mind To know that you don't have to hide So please don't leave me Don't meet me outside Leave me outside, oh no Oh, and honey I'll try, honey I'll try to hold you Like the starry skies, we lie beneath tonight 'Cause you shine, you shine so much brighter Oh, oh, oh, oh So honey let me sing you a song And listen to my words As they come out wrong, but don't Run away, run away, this time And honey let me look in your eyes You can open them one at a time, but don't Look away, look away, this time Oh, I'm walking on a wire, 'cause you're all I want now So don't feed me to the fire, and I won't let you down And please don't hide, these things we say tonight Can help us get our feet back on the ground So honey let me sing you a song And listen to my words As they come out wrong, but don't Run away, run away, this time And honey let me look in your eyes You can open them one at a time, but don't Look away, no, look away No, look away, don't look away, oh And honey let me sing you a song And listen to my words As they, come out wrong, but don't Run away, run away this time And honey let me look in your eyes Oh, they burn like fire, but don't Look away, look away, this time And don't, look away, look away this time Don't look away, look away, this time.
