Blissful Ignorance

from In Crowded Streets by Only By Design

/

lyrics

For the first time, in such a long time, I can’t function, I can't breathe.
You’re never staring, cold and never caring, loosening your grip on me.
You broke me from your strings; you vanished from my dreams, now I’m out in the open, vulnerable.
You listened to their words, I thought that I came first; you’re a blow that’s unrecoverable.

But I'll recover

This is the part, where we fall apart.
But you won’t put me together.
We live and we learn, to take our turn
But it hurts me to remember
forgot who I was, forgot who I am,
Your hostility has the best of me, sweet belligerence,
Blissful Ignorance.

You’re an old friend, the type to transcend, I could find you anywhere
When we lost all contact, I set out to attack; I was left in a pit of despair,
But I followed my instinct, traced your steps and then I’d think, of how I did you wrong,
I became obsessed, with every aspect, of you and I, and us all along.

But I guess that's over now

This is the part, where we fall apart.
But you won’t put me together.
We live and we learn, to take our turn
But it hurts me to remember
forgot who I was, forgot who I am,
Your hostility has the best of me, sweet belligerence,
Blissful Ignorance.


I can see you now.
Do you see me?
I can feel you now.
Do you feel me?
I can hear you now.
Do you hear me, yeah?
Because I’m begging and I’m pleading, cause I need you here with me
Oh lord have mercy!

Yeah!

This is the part, where we fall apart.
But you won’t put me together.
We live and we learn, to take our turn
But it hurts me to remember
forgot who I was, forgot who I am,
Your hostility has the best of me, sweet belligerence,
Blissful Ignorance.
