Blind

I've been in the dark
For far too long
Fighting off my demons
Where I don't belong

I've been fighting you
For so long it seems
I've been trying to outdo you
But I've only been killing my dreams

How was I supposed to see
Trying to keep you here
That the one I chased was me?
I was my greatest fear

How could I have been so blind?
I just can't understand
Why was it so hard to find?
Maybe it was all my plan

For so long I tried to fight
Tried to kill my pain
But the truth was right in front of me
I couldn't see what was so plain

I've been living in a lie
I've hurt the ones I love
I wish all this would die
Why can't I ever rise above?

I guess I should have seen
No one else could have known
The weakness deep inside me
I know now I am alone
