They Say Love Is Blind
Erika Jo Lyrics

A little book store on a side street
The singer finds herself in an unexpected situation at a small bookstore located off the beaten path.

I thought sure that I'd be safe
Despite her reservations, the singer believed that she would not encounter any uncomfortable situations while visiting the bookstore.

But there you were, there with her
The singer unexpectedly sees her former lover at the bookstore in the company of another woman.

Buying books on some romantic place
The artist perceives the act of buying books as a romantic gesture, making her feel even more uncomfortable in her current situation.

What you see in her is such a mystery to me
The artist is perplexed by her ex-lover's apparent infatuation with the other woman.

I hid behind my coffee cup and prayed that you would leave
Feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed, the singer tries to hide her presence at the bookstore and hopes that her ex-lover will leave soon.

I thought that I would die when I saw her kissin' you
The sight of her ex-lover kissing the other woman causes the singer emotional pain and distress.

They say, love is blind, I wish I were too
The artist wishes she could be emotionally detached from her feelings and not be affected by what she sees, like love is said to be blind.

It's a small town an' word gets around
Living in a small town means that news spreads quickly, and the artist wishes her ex-lover would hear what everyone else seems to know.

I wish you knew what everybody knows
The artist wants her ex-lover to understand that the woman he is with is not sincere in her feelings and intentions towards him.

And I keep hopin', some day you'll open
Despite her own heartache, the singer still hopes that her ex-lover will eventually see the truth about the other woman.

Up your eyes and let her go
The artist wishes for her ex-lover to open his eyes to see the truth about the other woman and let her go.

She don't love you, you're just her flavor of the week
The singer knows that the other woman does not truly love the ex-lover and is just using him for her own temporary pleasure.

She plays with hearts but she don't play for keeps
The other woman likes to toy with people's emotions, but she is never committed to any one person for the long term.

It hurts me to watch her make a fool of you
Seeing the other woman manipulate and take advantage of her ex-lover causes emotional pain for the singer.

Every time I see an old Dodge truck
Certain triggers, such as seeing an old Dodge truck, bring back memories of her past relationship with her ex-lover.

Or an old photograph of us
Reminders of her past relationship, such as old photographs, cause the artist to feel nostalgic and emotional.

Every time I drive down by the lake
Passing by the lake, another reminder of her past, causes the singer to reflect on her feelings for her ex-lover.

I fall into yesterday
The memories of her past relationship with her ex-lover cause the singer to feel stuck in the past and unable to move on.

I wish somehow that I could have you back in my life
Despite the pain it causes, the artist still has feelings for her ex-lover and wishes she could have him back in her life.

And at the same time, I just wish that you would stay out of my sight
The constant reminders of her past relationship with her ex-lover cause the artist distress and confusion, making her wish he would stay out of her life.

'Cause I can see it's over, oh but I can't face the truth
Despite knowing that her relationship with her ex-lover is over, the artist is unable to come to terms with the reality of the situation.

They say, love is blind, I wish I were too
The singer still wishes she could be emotionally detached from her feelings and not be affected by her past with her ex-lover, like love is said to be blind.

Oh, I wish I were too
The artist reiterates her desire to be emotionally detached from her experiences with her ex-lover.
