You are blinded by your pain;
you have given up the fight.
You are good at placing blame
and at blocking out all light.

A darkness shrouds your face
and your pain will not escape.
You've locked me out - run away
and now its far too late.

You've already been forgiven,
there's no need for anger here.
You are only way too human
and I am only too sincere.

I have never seen a face,
as blank as yours does stare.
My heart, it breaks in pain
as all you do is glare.

I have seen the chains which bind you,
you are blind and this I know.
I have known your downward struggle,
I just wish you'd let it show.

I tried my best to open up
and all I did was care.
I opened up to let you in
but you were never there.

You are blinded by your pain,
you have given up the fight.
You are closed to those around you,
too trapped in your own life.
