about

I only could see once I lost it all. We leave it all behind in hopes to start new again. I hope we both succeed, but especially, hope that you do - you deserve it.

lyrics

I had to lose it all so I could see the light
Now I sing a song I’d never want to write
We lived a lifetime of love – or so the story goes
What you think of me now I’ll never really know

Leave it all behind
Trust the vain can lead the blind
Trust the blind can learn to see
More than you – better than me

Empty houses tell a story if you look in every room
Up the stairs and down the hallway – the quiet steals the view
Behind the last door for a moment I could see into
And there sat all I ever wanted - but it means nothing without you

We leave it all behind
Trust the vain can lead the blind
Trust the blind can learn to see
More than you and better than me
More than you and better than me

Love was never going to be enough if I wasn’t what you need
And you deserve much more - more than I could ever be
Don’t let the last thing left after everything you do
Be a book full of dreams that we couldn’t make come true

So leave me far behind
Trust the deaf can lead the blind
Trust the blind can learn to see
More than you and better than me

So leave me far behind
Trust the deaf can lead the blind
Trust the blind can learn to see
More than you and better than me
More than you and better than me
More than you and better than me
