IN THE ROOM

Sometimes I wish I was blind
Then I wouldn't have to deal wih the pain
Agonising over you
The loss I felt when I walked from the table

Never even spoke
I guess circumstances made it hard
I wish I'd never seen your face
I wish I'd never latched onto regret

Where did you come from?
Where will you be?
When I'm on the train tomorrow
Wishing I never had to leave

Never found out your name
That's just as well
It eases the pain
Another romance from a distance
Your eyes were twilight blue
I wish I never had to leave

Hard to believe that I
Could fall in love this way
Her eyes were so pure and natural
I really didn't know the right thing to say

When her eyes met mine
Again I wished I was blind
If I never saw through the appearance
I might be able to find resistance

I'm sorry this is about love
I'm slowly gettting over some demons
Ones that haven't got to me in days
Maybe they know it's time to be leaving

If I ever see this girl again
I'll try to find what I have to say
I wish I could stop seeing what I need
And I wish I never had to go away
