If I Was Right

I saw it coming from a mile ago
A flash of lighting on a winding road
Wait till I'm paralyzed, then pull me close
And tell me something I don't wanna know

Soft as a whisper
And sharp as a knife
The brightest emotion
Made both of us blind
I carved out a picture
Of you in my mind
The pain washed away
But the scars survive

You betrayed the trust
You're ashamed of us
If I was right
I can close my eyes

You thought I hit you with a cannonball
And that heart of stone must've been hard to fall
But when the hurricane had conquered all
I heard crying through a crumbled wall

Soft as a whisper
And sharp as a knife
The brightest emotion
Made both of us blind
I carved out a picture
Of you in my mind
The pain washed away
But the scars survive

You betrayed the trust
You're ashamed of us
If I was right
I can close my eyes
