daily shuffled thought

Lifehouse - Blind Lyrics

I was young but I wasn't naive
I watched helpless as you turned around to leave
And still I have the pain I have to carry
A past so deep that even you could not bury if you tried

After all this time
I never thought we'd be here
Never thought we'd be here
When my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go

I would fall asleep
Only in hopes of dreaming
That everything would be like is was before
But nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting
They disappear as reality is crashing to the floor

After all this time
I never thought we'd be here
Never thought we'd be here
When my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go

After all this time
Would you ever wanna leave it
Maybe you could not believe it
That my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you will ever know
A part of me died when I let you go
And I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me dies when I let you go

As you leave or depart anyone that's been an integral part of your life, it always does feel like a part of you has died. I love the lyrics to this song. I guess at first it seems a bit negative, but if you really think about it it turns out sometimes a part of you dying is a good thing.

As humans, growth does not always have to be physical. Mentally we all need to grow, but in order to do that life has to change. Leaving certain parts of us behind, leaves room for the additional changes. Sometimes it's sad in the beginning, sometimes it's exciting, yet other times we are just scared of the unknown. Change is only made easier if we don't resist, but adapt to our new experiences.

The past year of my life seems like I've grown more than I ever have in the past 5-10 years. The passage was a rough one, but I'm able to see ahead as if the fog has slowly lifted.

I hope that someone finds this song as inspirational as I have. If not, keep your head up and remember that life is not worth living in the past. Make of it your best with the time you have left. Enjoy every breadth of experiences life has to offer.
