Turning in circles
I wasn't able to find my footing
I would hear you drive up
And I would pray you were showing your good side
If I learned anything from that
It was never to put me aside
Disappointed every time
I imagined a truth where you lied

So blind then
I thought that you'd change
Shot me down at close range
Left my optimism clearly stained
So blind then
Thought we'd be okay
Thought you'd left your old ways
But you were never going to change

Winter in L.A.
We began to come apart at the seams
Spent all those nights fighting
Spent all that time passing the blame around
If I learned anything from that
It's that now I know exactly what I don't want
I was destroyed every time
I lost what I'd finally caught

So blind then
I thought that you'd change
Shot me down at close range
Left my optimism clearly stained
So blind then
Thought we'd be okay
Thought you'd left your old ways
But you were never going to change

There is no way to conjure up a fantasy
You and me smiling hand in hand along a beach
We were never headed anywhere near crystal seas
You were never coming back to me
So you began to distance
You began to close the door
I was never going to come back to you anymore
That was where it ended
I can see the solid line
Drawn for the final time

So blind then
I thought that you'd change
Shot me down at close range
Left my optimism clearly stained
So blind then
Thought we'd be okay
Thought you'd left your old ways
But you were never going to change
