The second single from the album “Exile”. During the filming of the video Theo had an accident which almost left him one-eye blind. It is a paradox to the lyrics.

[Verse 1]
Since the day I left you
I hear your voice in every sound
Since the day I left you
I see your face in every crowd
It won't go away
[Bridge]
But every time I feel you near
I close my eyes and turn to stone
Cos now the only thing I fear
Is seeing you better off alone
[Chorus]
Cut out my eyes
And leave me blind
Cut out my eyes
And leave me blind
[Verse 2]
With the weight of the world upon me
I can’t hold my head up high
So if you see me on the street
Turn away and walk on by
[Bridge]
Cos after the beauty we destroyed
I’m cascading through the void
I know in time my heart will mend
I don’t care if I never see again
[Chorus]
Cut out my eyes
And leave me blind
Cut out my eyes
And leave me blind
[Verse 3]
Girl, I told you
After all we’ve been through
I don't want to be by myself
Girl, I told you
That it would tear me in two
If I see you with someone else
[Chorus]
Cut out my eyes
And leave me blind
Cut out my eyes
And leave me blind
