They're Blind

They're Blind - Kelly Willis

The demands made upon you

Are hard to live up to

It's futile to try and deny

And the things you hold dearly

Are scoffed at and yearly

Judged once and then left aside

Cause they're blind

They hold you too close to the light

And I see what they only might if they'd learn

But they're letting you burn 'cause they're blind

To the brown eyed beholder

See the chip on your shoulder

That fools everyone to believe

That you're so hard to talk to

And so easy to read through

Yet nobody looks past your sleeve

Cause they're blind

They hold you too close to the light

And I see what they only might if they learn

But they're letting you burn 'cause they're blind

They only like what they can see

An' what they can't

They just can't agree

If you run to me run run

Only like the day with him

Just one day with him

Then you'll run back

Then you'll run back blind

An old man said to me

Go home and take it easy

And run to me run run

Only like a date with him

Just one day with him

Then I'll run back

Then we'll run back blind

They hold you too close to the light

And I see what they only might if they learn

But they're letting us burn

Cause they're blind

Letting us burn

Cause they're blind

Cause they're blind
