[Verse 1]
Blindside
How did you creep up on my blindside?
And I'm not the one who wants this
Aren't I the one who gets to leave?
Almost, you almost made me think I want this
I look at the way we live
And only see things I've given up
[Chorus]
And I could say that I'm broken, but I'm not
And I could fake that I'm hurtin'
And I know that's all you want from me
To say that I love you
But I don't
Can I stay the night?
Just let me stay the night
[Verse 2]
Hold on, you should've said something in the moment
I know I've let it go cold before
But then you just leave me with your silence?
[Chorus]
And I could say that I'm broken, but I'm not
And I could fake that I'm hurtin'
And I know that's all you want from me
To say that I love you
But I don't
Can I stay the night?
Just let me stay the night
[Bridge]
Always trouble in the way
Always trouble in the way
Oh, why does it have to be today?
[Chorus]
If say that I'm broken when I'm not
If I could fake that I'm hurtin'
When I know that's all you want from me
To say that I love you
Oh I don't
But I'll stay the night
Just let me stay the night
Blindside was written by Eg White & Ben Fletcher & Tom Higham.
Blindside was produced by Eg White & Ólafur Arnalds.
“Blindside” was written after a relationship one of us was going through. Being able to accept you don’t feel as strongly about someone as they do towards you, despite not wanting to hurt them. One of the hardest things to accept growing up.
