Blindsided
Eternal Decision Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Should of watched your back
You should of been on guard
You got hit when you least expected
Now I see you falling hard

You've been Blindsided
Hit where you live
You've been Blindsided
By the things you hid in your heart

Sure of yourself, you had no fear inside
You've been fooled by your own deception
Your fall came after your pride

Chorus:
Solo: Cory

Didn't count the cost
You stepped across the line
You've been jailed by your own confession
I see you doing time





Chorus
