never fails...




And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes…


And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We’ll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower’s daughter
The pupil in denial


I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes…


Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?


I can’t take my mind off of you
I can’t take my mind off of you…
I can’t take my mind off of you
I can’t take my mind off of you
I can’t take my mind off of you
I can’t take my mind…
My mind…my mind…
‘Til I find somebody new


- The Blower's Daughter, Damien Rice

i cried when i first heard this.
i cried when i saw closer and heard this.
and then i cried when i saw this.

I can't take my mind off you

'Til I find somebody new.

why and when

ever since last month, it seems like you have resurfaced from the crevices where i've been trying to hide you.

not a day passes that i don't see or hear your name or my term of endearment for you. or meet someone with your name.

i still dread going to the places where i have memories of you or where i might see you.

and i hate that i'm being stupid for wanting you back again. or wanting to at least get to talk to you and find out what went wrong.

i'm too forgiving.

i hope i know the reason for all this.
