Hindsight

Well I don’t quite know what to do
Since the day we broke apart
We made plans to make a family
I thought that it would last
You know how we say you’re the love of my life
You’re the one, my soul mate, the apple of my eye
Maybe God was laughing
Saying boy they sure aren’t right

All this time the poet’s right
Love is blind in hindsight

Now I wonder just how long I would have stayed
Jumping through hoops and changing my name
Hoping to be the best I could be
Is not enough to win the game
Now I’m looking on back through photographs
Letters and songs trigger flashbacks
I cannot be fooled by this push and pull
Gotta get myself on track

Cos all this time the poet’s right
Love is blind in hindsight

Time takes time
Take it in your stride
Oh how we tried
But it just ain’t right

All this time the poet’s right
Love is blind in hindsight
