You Were Too Blind
The Busters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

you did me wrong
when you should have treated me right
girl you’re gonna miss me
when i’m outta sight

no word is strong enough
for the pain inside my heart
you treated me just like a slave
and tore my soul apart

you broke my heart too many times
a piece of gold was in your hand
you took it for a dime

you were too blind to see
the good things that you had in me

you were so busy
counting my mistakes
i’ve never been an underdog
but when you know that it’s too late

you broke my heart – too many times
a piece of gold was in your hand
you took it for a dime

you were too blind to see
the good things that you had in me

you were too blind to see
the good things that you had in me

you were too blind to see
the good things that you had in me

you were too blind to see
the good things that you had in me

you broke my heart – too many times
a piece of gold was in your hand
you took it for a dime

you were too blind to see
the good things that you had in me

you were too blind to see
the good things that you had in me

you were too blind to see
the good things that you had in me





you were too blind to see
the good things that you had in me
