Lyrics

Blind

What if I’m right and you are wrong?

What if you knew it all along?

What if I figured out that I did not belong?

What if it always bothered me?

What if I never did believe?

Would it be wrong if I decided I should leave?

If I pretended I was blind

And struck it from my mind

Would it still be there?

What if I’d do anything to make it seem all right?

It’s all right

What if it’s all inside my head?

What if those words were never said?

Would it be easier if I could just forget?

What if I didn't run away?

Could it be any other way?

Would it be wrong if I decided I should stay?

Hey, yeah!

If I pretended I was blind

And struck it from my mind

Would it still be there?

What if I’d do anything to make it seem all right?

It’s all right

It’s all right

It’s all right

It’s all right

And now, if I pretended I was blind

And struck it from my mind

Would it still be there?

What if I would do anything to make it seem all right?

It’s all right

Now, what if I’m right and you are wrong?

What if you knew it all along?

What if I figured out that I did not belong?

What if it always bothered me?

What if I never did believe?

Would it be wrong if I decided I should leave?
