Today I am your chariot horse
Tomorrow Im your albatross
Suspended by the finest thread
No one could ever see
And when theres breathing in your ear
You put your faith in all you hear
But just how deep those feelings go
I have no way to know
Ill never know

And if I was blind
Would you still be my eyes
Or hide everything you see
Pretending to care about me
When all the time
Youre just wishing Id fade away
You just cant bring yourself to

Say out loud the reasons why
You wont admit you realize
The promise youve been living by
Is just an empty shell
Youll come to bear it like a cross
And then start to tear it like frayed gauze
Though Im ashamed to be afraid
I just cant help myself
Cant help myself

And if I was blind
Would you still be my eyes
Or hide everything you see
Pretending to care about me
When all the time
Youre just wishing Id fade away
You cant bring yourself to care about me
Please dont let me down
Why dont you care, why dont you care about me?
Cause I know all the time youre just wishing Id fade away
You cant bring yourself to say
