once was blind, still can’t see

i always thought you were so naïve
turns out you just didn’t want to see
(you turned a blind eye to) what i was doing
(you turned a blind eye)

and i never could have gotten this right

i’ll say it once: i never saw it coming
say it twice and you’re asking for something
i’ll never admit it, but i underestimated you

i wrote my preconceived notions
in a little blue notebook
and kept it close to my heart
(i turned a blind eye) for the romantic value
ego aside, i was wrong
(but i turned a blind eye)

you can scream at me all you want
but we both know that’s my job

if it offers you any consolation,
you can roll your eyes and call me naïve
leave me speechless and walk yourself home

i never could have gotten this right

i’ll say it once: i never saw it coming
say it twice and you’re asking for something
i’ll never admit it, but i underestimated you

you’re walking yourself home
(turn a blind eye)
you’re walking home alone
(turn a blind eye)
and i am home alone
(just turn a blind eye)

i never saw it coming
