V1: I have no faith
It’s all been washed away
I played the game
It put me on display
V2: I have no love
It came and beat me up
And so they say
So much for yesterday
Chorus: And now I feel so shattered
No place to call my own that matters
And now I look around and there’s nothing left for me
And now I realize how it feels to be alone
I’ve been left blind wishing I could see
V3: I have no soul (I have no soul)
Instead there’s a giant hole (giant hole)
I thought I could (I thought I could)
I thought you really understood
V4: I fell so hard (I fell so hard)
I’m left with permanent scars (permanent scars)
I lost my strength (I lost my strength)
Don’t know if I’ll ever be the same
Bridge: I’ve been left blind wishing I could see
I’ve been left blind wishing I could see
I’ve been left blind and all alone
All alone. All alone. All alone. No.
(Overlay: Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find a better place to play?
But please don't leave your life in the dreams
of the rock and roll scene. It'll tear your heart away.)
Finale Chorus:
And now I feel so shattered, no place
And now I look around, and there's nothing
And now I realize how it feels to be alone
I’ve been left blind wishing I could see
I’ve been left blind wishing I could see
I’ve been left blind without you in me
