i know it's not that easy
but try to understand
you don't make me a better woman no
and who am to claim you
although i truly care
we take each other for granted yeah
we're blind for love
i know we're after something
to make us carry on
if i should be the one to tell you
we're blind for love
i guess it's true
that i don't bring out the best in you
and everybody knows the secret
and everybodv knows the truth
and everybody knows the answer
better than we do
In Ana Popovic's song Blind For Love, the singer is reflecting on a troubled relationship that is holding her back from becoming a better version of herself. The lyrics suggest that the relationship is not a healthy one, as the singer acknowledges that although she cares for her partner, they take each other for granted and are "blind for love". She recognizes that they are not bringing out the best in each other and that others can see the truth about their relationship more clearly than they can.
The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and resignation as the singer reflects on the difficulties of ending a relationship that has become unhealthy. It is clear that she recognizes that the relationship is not serving her well, but it is not clear whether she is ready to move on. The song's lyrics are open to interpretation, but they suggest that the singer is struggling to find a way forward with her partner. The song's bluesy guitar riffs and emotive vocals combine to create a melancholy mood that captures the pain of a difficult relationship.
