Blinded By Love

Blinded by love
We're slaves to the heart
Blinded by love by the flame in the dark
Blinded by how good it feels to be blinded by love
We're fallin' apart
And we never saw it coming
I guess we ignored every sign
Blinded by love
We both closed our eyes
And as we were drowning
We were both smiling
We're blinded by love
We're slaves to the heart
Blinded by love by the flame in the dark
Blinded by how good it feels
To be blinded by love
What becomes of two people
Who don't see things the same way?
But don't want to hurt an old friend
Careful with words that might show our hand
Guess we're blinded by love till the end
Blinded by love
We're slaves to the heart
Blinded by love by the flame in the dark
Blinded by how good it feels to be blinded by love
We're slaves to the heart
Blinded by love by the flame in the dark
Blinded by how good it feels to be blinded by love
We're fallin' apart
And we never saw it coming
I guess we ignored every sign
Blinded by love
We both closed our eyes
And as we were drowning
We were both smiling
We're blinded by love
We're slaves to the heart
Blinded by love by the flame in the dark
Blinded by how good it feels
To be blinded by love
What becomes of two people
Who don't see things the same way?
But don't want to hurt an old friend
Careful with words that might show our hand
Guess we're blinded by love till the end
Blinded by love
We're slaves to the heart
Blinded by love by the flame in the dark
Blinded by how good it feels to be blinded by love
