Love is blind... mmh
Love is painful...
_**_

I was twenty, young and hopeful
Met a lady, heart still broken
She told me stories of her past pain
I felt pity... then love awoken
We dated slow, then a year flew by
She carried my son, we said "I do"
God gave us a boy, the pride of my life
I loved them both, loyal and true
But she wasn’t satisfied, no
Found fault in all I’d do
She called my ex, made accusations
Disrespected her, disrespected me too
_**_

Love is blind, it makes you fall
For wounded hearts behind a wall
Love is painful, cuts so deep
When trust is lost, there’s no more peace
I tried to reason, tried to explain
She wouldn’t listen, she felt betrayed
My home turned sour, my freedom caged
No joy, no laughter, just endless rage
_**_

So I enrolled in school, just to breathe
To run away from the life I lived
Then court papers came, "divorce" she said
I let her go... and I wished her instead:
"Find a man better than me,
One who’ll love you endlessly."
We parted ways, my heart was bruised
Love is a lesson... painfully used
_**_

Years went by, then I met my ex
The one from way before the mess
She knew my story, knew my past
I thought, "She’s different, she’ll make it last"
We married quick, I believed again
But she became worse than where I’d been
No trust, no peace, love washed away
Fighting at night, silence by day
Love is blind... it fooled me twice
_**_
_**_
But thank You God, she started to pray
"Lord don’t let this marriage slip away"
For ten years now we’ve held the line
Managing tempers, crossing the time
Love is a university, that’s what I’ve learned
Full of assignments, full of burns
You endure the staff, the tests, the pain
To keep the degree... to stay in the game
_**_

Love is blind, mmh
Love is painful, yeah
But through the pain, we found a way
Still here today, learning to stay
Love is blind... but God still sees
Love is painful... yet it brings us to our knees
To pray... to grow... to finally be free
Love is blind... love is blind...
