Blindsided

Funny how it leaves you breathless, laying down all your defences
I was foolish for you darling like a child
Fanning flames of desire, while we were sitting by the fire
Took me by surprise and drove me wild

All the future plans that we made, being lazy in our PJs
Reading poetry and laughing in the dark
Told me secrets you'd been keepin'
You watched while I was sleeping
Never thought this love would miss the mark

But I was blindsided, 6 am goodbye
Never saw it coming at all
Don't try to look me in the eye and tell me
That you just weren't ready for the fall

All the things you take for granted when you think you've got a hand
Ooh, that is steady holding on
Thought you'd always be beside me
I carved a place for you that's empty, now you're gone

I was blindsided, 6 am goodbye
Never saw the writing on the wall
Don't try to look me in the eye and tell me
That you just weren't ready for the fall

What a picture we painted before you pulled the rug from under me
Funny now it's faded, but I'll see it clear eventually

Funny how it leaves you breathless, laying down all your defences
I was foolish for you darling like a child
Fanning flames of desire while we were sitting by the fire
Took me by surprise and drove me wild

But I was blindsided, 6 am goodbye
Never saw the writing on the wall
Don't try to look me in the eye and tell me
That you just weren't ready for the fall
That you just weren't ready for the fall
