Love Remains - Does Love Make Us Blind

+ Show full styles

[Intro | finger-picked steel guitar, intimate | 4 bars]

[Verse 1 | restrained, reflective]
I’m standing here, staring into nothing
Watching headlights fade away
Searching for something I can hold on to
Trying to forget what you did that day

I tell myself, “just let the morning come”
But it’s harder than I thought
To shut my mind, to close my eyes
On where this pain has brought

[Pre-Chorus 1 | questioning]
Oh God, what did I do wrong
That we drifted so apart?
I don’t know where I belong now
So empty, with a broken heart

Why did this happen to us?
How did I let it go this far?
What were you hoping to find
Without leaving me in scars?

[Chorus 1 | emotional release]
But I can’t forget you
You’re still living in my mind
Is this what they call love?
Does love make us blind?

I’m torn between forgiving
And the truth I can’t undo
Afraid one more crack might shatter
What’s still holding me to you

[Verse 2 | darker, more direct]
I remember the moment it all collapsed
When the truth cut through my skin
The nights you weren’t really mine
And the lies you let me live in

I questioned every memory
Every laugh, every touch
Wondering what was ever real
And if I was never enough

[Pre-Chorus 2 | reflection deepens]
Was I blind to what was breaking?
Did I choose not to see the signs?
Or does love teach us to trust
Even when it costs our lives?

[Chorus 2 | conflicted, heavier]
I want to forgive you
If I could silence the noise inside
If I could bury the ghosts
That keep replaying every lie

I don’t want to hate you
God knows I never tried
But tell me how to forget
When love still won’t subside

[Bridge | quiet truth]
I can’t just throw away the years
The life we built, the ground we shared
Too many dreams grew roots in us
Too many moments that we dared

[Build | rising emotion]
My heart is still where you left it
No matter how hard I fight
I still love you more than I should
Even after that night

[Instrumental Solo | emotional lead guitar | 8 bars]

[Final Chorus | full, resolved but fragile]
If love makes us blind
Then maybe that’s its cost
To see beyond the damage
And not count what was lost

I choose to forgive your weakness
If you can forgive my pain
Let love stand above our faults
And let us start over again

[Outro | calm, resolved]
So we lay down our weapons
Bury the gloves, the blame, the fear
Choosing love over the wreckage
If it still wants us here

Our love above it all
[fade-out instrumental]
