Blinded by Love
Unveiling Heartbreak: Ollie Schwerin's Emotional Journey in 'Blinded by Love'
Lyrics
It's easy for you to say that all our past will stay the same
Expressing frustration that the other person assumes the past will remain unchanged.
I'll do my best to remember all the things you used to say
Committing to remembering the things the other person used to say.
It's way more difficult than I had ever imagined it
Acknowledging the unexpected difficulty of moving on from the relationship.
Thought I was over you and here I struggle to manage
Confessing a struggle to overcome feelings, thinking the person was already in the past.
It sucks
Expressing a strong negative emotion about the situation.
To see
Noting the difficulty in witnessing something.
How fast
Highlighting the speed at which the person moved on from the relationship.
You moved on way to easily
Expressing difficulty in coping with the other person's quick rebound.
I thought
Indicating an expectation of being fine despite the breakup.
I'd be
Anticipating emotional recovery.
Alright
Conveying a struggle to be okay with the situation.
But you chose my friend instead of me
Revealing hurt feelings about the person choosing a friend over the speaker.
Seems like it all worked out and you both look happier anyway
Observing that the ex and the friend seem happier together.
One thing I need to know is was the time we spent a waste
Pondering whether the time spent together was meaningful or wasted.
You made it pretty clear that you never wanted me to stay
Recalling that the person made it clear they didn't want the speaker to stay.
It broke my heart to know that you secretly meant all the hurt you'd say
Expressing pain over discovering that the hurtful words were genuinely meant.
How
Pondering how the speaker failed to see certain actions or signs.
Did I
Reflecting on personal oversight regarding the other person's behavior.
Not see
Expressing surprise at not recognizing the flirting witnessed.
All the flirting you did in front of me
Realizing the extent of the other person's flirtatious behavior in the speaker's presence.
I was
Admitting to being blinded by love, suggesting that emotions clouded judgment.
Blinded
Highlighting the theme of love blinding the speaker to certain truths.
By love
Suggesting that with the person's departure, clarity and understanding have emerged.
But now that you've left I can finally see
Expressing the newfound ability to see things clearly after the person has left.
