I'd Rather Go Blind Lyrics

Something told me it was over
when I saw you and her talking...
Something deep down in my soul said, "Cry, girl,"
When I saw you and that girl, walking around.
Whoo...

I would rather, I would rather go blind, boy,
Than to see you walk away from me, child, nawl.
Whoo...
So you see, I love you so much
That I don't want to watch you leave me baby,
Most of all, I just don't, I just don't want to be free, no...
Whoo, whoo...

I was just, I was just, I was just sitting here thinking,
Of your kiss and your warm embrace - yeah...
When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now, baby,
Revealed these tears that was on my face, yeah...

And baby, baby, I'd rather be blind, boy,
Than to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah...
And baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind, boy,
Than to see you walk away, see you walk away from me...

(Baby, baby, baby...)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is a very sad, where she would rather be blind than to see him walk away. Than to see him love someone else. Than to see him give someone else his love
