VERSE:(with Rhy. figs 1 and 2)  
Did you know
it was all going to go
so wrong for you?
And did you see
it was all going to be
so right for me?

Hey you,
did you ever realize
what you had become?
And did you see
that it wasn't only me
you were running from?

Did you know all the time
but it never bothered you anyway?
Leading the blind while I stared out the steel in your eyes.

INTERLUDE

VERSE:
The rain fell slow
Down on all the roofs of uncertainty
I thought of you
And the years and all the sadness fell away from me.

And did you know? (echo)

I never thought that you'd lose that light in your eyes.
