It's so nice to see you here
Thought you would never reappear
I waited so long, to sing to you this song
I thought you long for gone
I hope you see I've changed
Yes, I've grown in many ways
Interrogate my soul
Swallow me up whole
I know I was a fool
I was broken
I was deaf and blind
Yes, I hurt you
Without hardly trying
And I love you
Until the day I die
A thousand times
I hoped you'd change your mind
A thousand goodbyes
Well, my mother she was strong
But she felt so all alone
Every day she'd pray
My father would stay away
Each day was just the same
Well, my father never knew
Yes, he fought in World War II
You can mark my every word
He fought that bloody scourge
It took from him these words...
I was broken
I was deaf and blind
Yes, I hurt you
Without hardly trying
And I love you
Until the day I die
A thousand times
I hoped you'd change your mind
A thousand goodbyes
But it's never just the same
We have grown, and we have changed
Who's to say who's right
The years have blurred our sight
It's just another fight
But still I feel confused
And I know you felt abused
Sometimes love is blind
Sometimes it takes time
You never left my mind...
I was broken
I was deaf and blind
Yes, I hurt you
Without hardly trying
And I love you
Until the day I die
A thousand times
I hoped you'd change your mind
A thousand goodbyes
