Loveblind
Junior Turner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You to me were a fatal sin
Should've seen that the devil lived within
Telling me words such as love
Sent from below and not above
Just the girl with a broken smile
Too far gone to learn wrong from right
Was it love I just can't decide
Bridge
Tell me did you love me?
Baby you know I did
Tell me did you need me?
I needed you night and day babe
Tell me why did you hurt me?
Baby I don't know why
Tell me why did you hurt me?
Baby I don't know why
Chorus
Love-Blind
Can't believe I let you in when I really didn't feel strong
Un-Kind
That's you natural way and you'll never change for no-one
Love-Blind
You can smile but remember what goes around comes around
In time
I'm gonna be there when you world comes crashing down
Comes comes crashing down
Verse 2
Love is sweet and you're a curse
You've made me I'll and now I need a nurse
You treat love like a game
It make's my skin crawl when I hear your name
I see your face it just makes me mad
I'm gonna show you what you could've had
Thought I would cry thought I would break
I'm stronger than before thanks to your mistake
Bridge
What was with the mind games?
You made them up on your own
You left me feeling lonely
But you never wanted me home now did you
Try a day in my shoes
You always had it your way
You can blame this on me
But you will see in time
Chorus
Love-Blind
Can't believe I let you in when I really didn't feel strong
Un-Kind
That's you natural way and you'll never change for no-one
Love-Blind
You can smile but remember what goes around comes around
In time
I'm gonna be there when you world comes crashing down
Comes comes crashing down
Instrumental
Chorus
Love-Blind
Can't believe I let you in when I really didn't feel strong
Un-Kind
That's you natural way and you'll never change for no-one
Love-Blind
You can smile but remember what goes around comes around
In time
I'm gonna be there when you world comes crashing down
Comes comes crashing down
You can hate me always fear me.
The song "Loveblind" by Junior Turner is a powerful anthem about a toxic and damaging relationship. In the first verse, the lyrics describe the singer's experience of being with someone who turned out to be a "fatal sin" with demonic traits. The lover's words of love are seen as poison rather than a gift from above. The chorus reflects the title of the song and how the singer allowed this person into their life when they weren't ready or strong enough to keep them out. The lyrics detail the negative aspects of the relationship, such as the lover being unkind and never changing for anyone.
In the second verse, love is referred to as a curse since it has made the singer ill and in need of a nurse. The singer asserts their strength and will to move on from the toxic relationship. Finally, in the bridge, the singer askes the toxic lover a series of questions relating to their actions and behavior. The chorus repeats but with an added emphasis on the inevitability of karma and the singer's willingness to be there when the toxic lover's world crashes down.
The lyrics of "Loveblind" are open to interpretation but they offer a clear message about not letting someone else's negativity and toxicity into your life. The song is a testament to the strength and resilience of those who survive and move on from these kinds of relationships.

You never actually wanted me to be at home with you, did you?
Try a day in my shoes
I challenge you to try and experience what I went through in our relationship
You always had it your way
You were always in control and got things how you wanted them to be
You can blame this on me
You could try to pass the blame onto me for our relationship ending
But you will see in time
However, eventually you will realize that you were the one responsible for causing the relationship to fail
You can hate me always fear me.
You have a choice to either hate or fear me, but either way our relationship is over.
