Lyrics

Blind Love

[Verse 1]

Hold onto my hand

Hold onto my unborn hand

Feel what I'll never be

Need me badly

Need what I have

Need what I am

I am a dead man

Now I am a dead man

I am selfish

I am unborn

I am unborn now

I am unborn

Need my love

Need my fake love

Hold onto my hand

Hold onto my unborn hand

Need what I make you become

[Refrain]

Blind love

Blind love

[Verse 2]

I am a dead man

I am a cold dead man

And I am unkind

And I am unkind

Feel my hand

Feel my dead hand

[Refrain]

Need my love

Need my blind love

[Outro]

Love blind

Blind love

Feel good now

Feel good now

Feel good now

Feel good now
